句首的连词(introduction words)
通常情况下,学术类文章要避免使用非正式的句首连词,所以句子通常不以But或And开始,而且很少用so或者what’s more。
以下是一些常用的句首连词供参考:
但是/然而/不过:However, nevertheless, nonetheless, even so等
而:Whilst, whereas等
尽管:Although, despite the fact that…, notwithstanding the fact that…等
不管:Regardless of …
所以:Hence, thus, therefore, on that account, as a consequence, as a result, accordingly等
此外:Moreover, in addition, furthermore, as well as
另外,有些用法中文写作时经常出现,虽然有相对应的英文翻译,但事实上英语里很少用。比如“On the one hand…, on the other hand”“In other words”“As for + n,…”
