1. 英语中“For example”的用法
“For example”是一个常用的连接词,用于引入例子来说明或支持一个观点。在句子中使用“For example”时,其后应紧跟逗号。它通常用于解释或扩展前面提到的概念。例如:“Many factors are important, for example class, gender, age and ethnicity.”
2. 使用“Such as”介绍例子
“Such as”用于引出具体的人、事物或例子。它通常位于句中,当列举多个例子时,每个例子后都应使用逗号。与“for example”不同,使用“such as”时,后面不需要再加“etc.”或“and so on”。例如:“Clients who used the Standard CRM saw positive changes for their sales teams, such as productivity increases of 15% and a 40% increase in sales revenue.”
3. “e.g.”作为例子缩写
“e.g.”是拉丁文“exempli gratia”的缩写,意为“例如”。它与“for example”相似,用于提供一个或多个例子。在正式写作中,“e.g.”可以与“for example”和“such as”互换使用。例如:“You have a lot of opportunities to grow, e.g., it doesn't sound like you've optimized your pricing page in years.”
4. “i.e.”用于解释先前提到的内容
“i.e.”是拉丁文“id est”的缩写,意为“换句话说”或“也就是说”。它用于进一步解释或阐述之前提到的观点。与“for example”不同,“i.e.”用于强调或详细说明已提出的例子。例如:“The evaluation noted that the employee had frequently exhibited irresponsible behavior (i.e., coming to work late, failing to complete projects).”
5. “etc.”表示未尽事宜
“etc.”是拉丁文“et cetera”的缩写,意为“等等”。它用于表明列举的不是全部例子,而只是其中一部分。在非正式英语写作中常用“etc.”来替代“and so on”。例如:“They ate cookies, cakes, peanuts, fairy floss, etc., and it's little wonder they ended up with stomach aches.”
6. 使用“For instance”作为例子
“For instance”与“for example”意思相近,都用于引入例子。这两个词可以开始一个新句子。例如:“Our product has several features you will love; for instance, they can schedule a series of emails…”
7. “As proof”提供证据
当你提到一个观点后,使用“as proof”来提供统计数据或例子作为支持。例如:“Unhealthy snacks might be hurting employee satisfaction more than you'd think. As proof, here now we see NPS score went up 10 points once we revamped their office ‘pantry'.”
8. “To illustrate”用于说明
“To illustrate”用于提供例子或情景来阐明一个观点。它的用法与“as proof”相似。例如:“Everyone needs a good cybersecurity strategy – even if you're not in a ‘risky' industry. To illustrate, we just protected a client in the consumer pet space, of all things, from an extremely sophisticated attack that would've taken every single one of their 100 stores offline for hours, maybe even days.”
9. “In particular”强调特定点
当你想要强调论文中的某个具体部分时,可以使用“In particular”。例如:“With a custom email sending IP address, your email strategy will reap many benefits. In particular, you'll see an improvement in email deliverability.”
10. “Namely”用于具体说明
“Namely”用于在介绍了一个基本概念之后,具体说明这个概念的几个方面。例如:“There are four sections in the game, namely, drawing, guarding, trailing and driving.”
