如何用好转折词_CET词汇

  “they are wasting resources, for example, time, energy and money.”
  
  上面这句话不错,只是转折词“for example”不妥当;应该这样:
  
  “they are wasting resources. for example, they use too much time, energy and money.”
  
  不然就要换一换转折词,改用“such as”或“like”:
  
  “they are wasting resources, such as (or like) time, energy and money.”
  
  不管任何语言,转折词(transitional words)都扮演着一个重要角色,就是:承先启后,使句子紧凑,段落相吸,对文章结构,有良性作用。但是有些人几乎没有采用转折词的习惯,结果文句松散,上下文七零八乱,应该避免。
