加拿大华人论坛 加拿大生活信息英语逻辑词汇总
在加拿大
语言学有一个基本的观点,就是英语讲究逻辑,汉语讲究感觉;再有一个说法,叫做英语是形合,汉语是意合。归结起来就是:英语特别讲究逻辑,而且会有鲜明的形式也就是丰富的词汇来表达各种各样的逻辑关系,而不像汉语一样“运用之妙,存乎一心”。从实战来看,逻辑词也是必备的词汇。因为一句中的逻辑关系如果清楚,可以推断词义,诸如“我很丑,可是……”,后面大致可以想见;同理,句子间的逻辑关系明白,可以推断句义。所以逻辑词,实在是我们的贴心小棉袄。阅读中见到逻辑中,要感觉如同见到了组织与亲人。兹总结如下,并对要点略加解说。基本意义或用法不明者,可查普通词典。I.时间:since, ever since, from then on, soon after, afterward, until, in the meantime, meanwhile, at the same time, simultaneouslyII.列举:对一类事物举出具体的例子。通常表现为前面是复数或者抽象的概念,后面是这个概念中的一个或几个事物。firstly, secondly…, finally; next, last;for example/instance, such as;some…others…still others;for one thing, for the other邪说:一、区分for instance/example和such as. 前者往往是举“事”(做什么或谁做什么),后者是举“物”(什么东西);举事往往与前文用逗号分开,甚至另起一句再排阵势;举物则多结合在一起,当然也可分开。The government is to ban payments to witnesses by newspapers seeking to buy up people involved in prominent cases 31 the trial of Rosemary West.31.[A]as to [B]for instance [C]in particular[D]such as题解:前为复数cases案件, 后为单数trial审判, 后者是对前者的列举,是一个名词短语代表的“物”,故选D。However, the typical teenage lifestyle is already filled with so much competition that it would be wise to plan activities in which there are more winners than losers, 28 , publishing newsletters with many student-written book reviews, displaying student artwork, and sponsoring book discussion clubs.28. A. in effect B. as a result C. for example D. in a sense题解:前为复数activities活动,后为对活动的列举,与前文逗号分开,且为“事”(做什么),故C。The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors available for unfamiliar and emergency signals 20 the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.20. [A]similar to[B]such as [C]along with [D]aside from题解:后面“烟味”是前文“紧急信号”之一种,故B。

Many people, 50 , believe in being on the "safe side" and thus take extra vitamins.50. (A) nevertheless (B) therefore (C) moreover (D) meanwhile题解:空格前后是逗号,说明考的句间关系。本句说的是很多人相信吃得多些比较好,要看前一句来决定是因果还是转折等。前一句说获取足够的维他命对生命来说是重要的,although过了没有用。如果前面主句是重心,则50该选C,构成因果关系。而根据上下文,其实重心已转移到了although从句,although应该说成“但是”,这样与下句是反的,选A。Though更是另有绝用,让人大跌眼镜。In fact,5 , we are extremely sensitive to smells, 6 we do not generally realize it. 5. [A]anyway [B]though [C]instead [D]therefore题解:首先要知道,两个逗号之间的连接副词,表示的是与前一句之间的关系。由上文可知是转折,此处似乎只有though能担此任,而它恰恰可以胜似无碍。它还可以放在一句的最后,同样表示转折。二、given看起来是个过去分词,但叛变了,多作介词用,given that还可跟从句,所表示的逻辑关系,可顺可反,顺的请看下面“因果”中的表现,此处单表反的,即相当于“虽然有”。Given all the disadvantages, he managed to win. 虽有各种不利,他还是争取到成功。IV.转折:but, however, yet;nevertheless, nonetheless;instead, instead of;not…but, rather than;fortunately, unfortunately;in fact邪说:一、区分instead, instead of. Instead of是介词性,后面跟名词构成介宾短语,大致可说成“不是”,暗示着后面是“而是”。Instead of Mary, who looks great, he chose Helen, she feels good. 他不是选择的看起来好的玛丽,而选择了感觉好的海伦。Instead则是一个连接副词,表示两句间关系。He didn’t choose Mary. Instead, he choose Helen. 他没有选择玛丽。相反,他选择了海伦。二、in fact 事实上,暗含的意思是要对一些主观的也就是非事实性的猜测进行澄清。You may assume that I am rich. In fact, I have anything but money. 你可能认为我有钱。事实上,俺都有就是没钱。

[A]when once [C]while [D]whereas 题解:此短语与主句形成相反关系,但只是一个短语,不能用D引导,故C。 Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, 9 others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. 9. [A]when [B]since [C]for [D]whereas 题解:前后相反,且是完整句,选D。理论上似乎A也有希望,谁叫它不是嫡系,是本来表时间,起义过来的呢。 VI.因果: because, for, as, since, now that, in that;due to, owing to, thanks to;therefore, thus, hence, accordingly, consequently as, as a result;derive/stem/result from, result in;cause, lead to, give rise/birth to, bring about, account for, be responsible for, contribute to;in (the )light of, in view of, by virtue of;owe…to.., attribute… to, ascribe…to…;given, considering because, for, as, since, now that, in that是连词,也就是后面跟一个完整的句子;due to, owing to, thanks to都是介词性短语,后面跟名词性成分;therefore, thus, hence, accordingly, consequently as, as a result为连接副词,常用于句子之间表示因果关系;derive/stem/result from是动词短语,from后跟原因; result in后跟结果。cause, lead to, grive rise/birth to, bring about, account for, be responsible for, contribute to也是动词短语,都是前因后果,说成“导致/造成”等;in (the )light of, in view of, by virtue of是三个特殊的介词性短语,因为字面义与因果关系似乎少有关联,需特别记忆;owe…to.., attribute… to, ascribe…to…是追索原因的动词短语,相当于“将……归因于……”;given, considering本来是过去分词与现在分词,但发生了基因突变,可用于介词,都可表因果关系,意思是“因为有,考虑到”。当然如上面已述,given也可表让步关系。

[A] Indeed Likewise [C] Therefore [D] Furthermore题解:两句是递进关系,有A和D入选。Furthermore是讲另外一件事情,indeed是同一件事情程度上升。前面讲无家可归者越来越多,后面说如此多以致政府无法控制,同一事的程度问题,故A。再看看颇具特色的go so far as to,通过例句来体会。They are foolish. Some go so far as to earn money by hard work. 他们是傻瓜,有些甚至会用辛勤劳动来赚钱。
