(三)副詞性連接詞
副詞性質(zhì)的連接詞不能象連詞一樣分句或主從復(fù)合句之間用逗號(hào)連接。也就是說它們不能連接兩個(gè)分句或引導(dǎo)從句。它們引導(dǎo)的句子與前面的句子之間要用分號(hào)或句號(hào),而它們與引導(dǎo)的句子之間往往用逗號(hào)。副詞性質(zhì)的連接詞在寫作中常常使用,主要分為以下幾類:
1.表示順序的,如first, in the first place, then, finally, in the end等等。尤其要注意then. 如: 誤:He graduated from college in 2003, then he found a job.
正:He graduated from college in 2003, and then he found a job.或者He graduated from college in 2003. Then he found a job.
2.表示遞進(jìn)關(guān)系的,如in addition, what is more, furthermore, moreover等。注意in addition 與in addition to 的區(qū)別:in addition 是副詞性質(zhì);而in addition to 是介詞性質(zhì),后面必須接賓語。
3.表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的,如 however, nevertheless, nonetheless, on the contrary, in contrast, 等等。要注意不要把however 當(dāng)成連詞。如:
誤:In 2003, the United States launched the war on Iraq on account of Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction (WMD), however, no WMD has been found in Iraq so far.
正:In 2003, the United States launched the war on Iraq on account of Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction (WMD). However, no WMD has been found in Iraq so far.
