用好英语写作中表示顺序的连接词: first, next, then, last

在英语文章的写作中,用好表示先后顺序的连接词(connector,也被称为transition words),能让你的文章条理更为清晰(sequence the writing)。今天我们学习的一组常用连接词是:first, next, then, last。用中文翻译出来是:首先,接下来,然后,最后。这组连接词属于相对固定的搭配,比较适合用于解释或说明性的文章段落,或对先后顺序比较分明的行事步骤(ordered instruction about how to do something)进行描述。

参考一个使用了顺序连接词的英文例子:First, step your right foot on the brake pedal, next, start the engine by turning the key, then, shift the gear selector to “D” position and release the handbrake and break pedal, last, gently step on the accelerator, and you should be able to get your car moving.(首先,用右脚踩下刹车踏板,接下来,转动钥匙启动引擎,然后,切到D档并松开手刹及脚刹,最后,轻踩油门,你的车就可以开动了。)

你也可以自己试着用first, next, then, last来写一段英文哦,这个小练习不仅会帮助你更好地掌握这组连接词的用法,更可以有效地锻炼你用英语思维的能力。

沃伦·巴非特投资名言: It’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price…

“It’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.”

— Warren Buffett

“以普通的价格买进一家不错的公司要远胜以不错的价格买入一家普通的公司。”

— 沃伦·巴非特

Will解读:巴菲特的价值投资理念并不意味着“买低价股”。一只股票的价格创出历史新低不是买入的理由,而要看股价是否低于股票的内在价值。同样,高价股也不一定就不具投资价值,如果看似高企的价格仍未充分反应其预期成长前景,那么高价股同样值得投资。

彼得·德鲁克名言: Almost everybody today believes that nothing in economic history…

“Almost everybody today believes that nothing in economic history has ever moved as fast as, or had a greater impact than, the Information Revolution. But the Industrial Revolution moved at least as fast in the same time span, and had probably an equal impact if not a greater one.”

— Peter Drucker

“今天,几乎所有人都相信在经济史上,没有任何事物的发展速度胜过信息革命,或具有比之更大的影响。但在同等的时间段内,工业革命具有至少与信息革命一样的发展速度,而且很可能带来了至少相同程度的影响。”
