說(shuō)到“舉例子”,illustration我們首先想到的是such as;for example這些。其實(shí)除此之外還有更多表達(dá)方式。但使用中一定要辨別兩點(diǎn):一個(gè)是需不需要逗號(hào);一個(gè)是后面接句子還是詞組(從句也可視為詞組的一種)
概括起來(lái)說(shuō),跟“舉例”相關(guān)的關(guān)鍵詞有這幾個(gè):
Example
Instance
Such as
Like
Illustrate (名詞形式illustration)
Case
Say
Mention
具體組合與用法如下:
1.以……為例:“Take …for example” 。(接詞組)
如Let’s take an extreme case forexample. …
2.……等等:“A, B, C,and so on.” 或“A, B, C,and etc..”(接詞組)
