这两个短语都可以作例如解。 for example用来举例说明某一论点或情况,一般只举同类人或物中的一个为例,作插入语,可位于句首,句中或句末。 例如: Ball games, for example, have spread around the world. 球类运动就已经在世界各地遥开了。
What would you do if you met a wild animal? ? a lion, for example? 如果遇上野兽,例如狮子,你该怎么办?
such as用来列举事物时,一般列举同类人或事物中的几个例子。 插在被列举的事物与前面的名词之间,as后面遥有逗号。 例如: Some of the rubbish, such as food, paper and iron, rots away over a long period of time.
有些废物,如剩饭、废纸和废铁,时间一久就烂掉了。
注意:遥这个短语时,后面列举的事物的数量不能等于它前面所提到的总和,一旦相等就要用that is或namely。 如遥以说:I have three good friends, such as John, Jack and Tom. 应该说:I have three good friends, that is, John, Jack and Tom。 我有三个好朋友,即约翰、杰克和汤姆。
102. reason 和cause
The ____ of the big fire was his carelessness.
A. reason B. cause C. causing D. reasoning 解答:B。 reason强调一种推理的理由,而cause是指导致某件事情发生的人或事。
103. when while 与 as
1,when表示当……的时候。 从句中既可用延续遥动词,又可用非延续遥动词,这些动词既可以表示动作,又可表示状态。 从句中的动作既可和主句的动作同时发生,又可在主句的动作之前或之后发生。 如: When I came into the room, I found him lying there asleep.
Mary was having dinner when I saw her.
When you meet a word you don''t know, consult the dictionary.
She was beautiful when she was a girl.
如果when从句的主语与主句主语相同,谓语又是be动词,从句主语和be可以省略:当when从句主语与主句主语相同时,用when加分词可以替代状语从句。 如: When(you are)in trouble, ask her for help.
