从不同逻辑角度谈高考英语书面表达常见过渡性词汇用法

郝昌明

近年来高考英语书面表达评分标准规定考生必须使用一定数量的过渡性词汇，以增强文章的连贯性、逻辑性和可读性。本文从不同逻辑角度介绍高考英语书面表达常见过渡性词汇用法。

一、表示因果关系的过渡性词汇

表示因果关系的过渡性词汇常见的有：as a result （结果）， as a result of （因为……的结果）， thanks to （多亏了）。

A terrible earthquake happened in this city; as a result， it was completely destroyed. 这个城市发生了可怕的地震，结果它被完全摧毁了。

As a result of the timely rain， all the crops were saved. 因为天下了一场及时雨，所有庄稼都得救了。

Thanks to your encouragement， my daughter became more confident. 多亏了你的鼓励，我的女儿变得更自信了。

由以上例句可以看出，使用as a result表示因果关系时原因在前，结果在后，原因和结果均由单句表达;使用as a result of和thanks to表示因果关系时，也是原因在前结果在后，但结果由单句表达，原因由名词或名词短语表达。这些过渡性词汇逻辑严密，情感浓烈。

二、表示递进关系的过渡性词汇

表示递进关系的过渡性词汇有很多，比较常用的有：besides / what's more（更何况），what's worse / to make the matter worse / worse still / worse than all / worse than ever（更糟糕的是）。

You must give up smoking， because it will cost you much money， and what's worse， it will do harm to your health. 你必须戒烟，因为它会花掉你许多钱，更糟糕的是，它会伤害你的身体。

由以上例句可以看出besides与what's more通常连接肯定观点，为某一褒义观点提供理由。what's worse， to make the matter worse， worse still， worse than all， worse than ever通常连接否定观点，为某一贬义观点提供理由。使用这些过渡性词汇时后一个理由比前一个理由更充分、说服力更强。

三、表达公认观点的过渡性词汇

表达公认观点的过渡性詞汇有as we all know， as is known to all，均表示“众所周知”。

As is known to all， the Chinese people are hard-working and brave. 众所周知，中国人民勤劳勇敢。

由以上例句可以看出，as we all know， as is known to all用在某一世人皆知的观点之前，使下文将要表达的观点可信度更高、说服力更强。
