“They are wasting resources, for example, time, energy and money.”

　　上面這句話不錯，只是轉(zhuǎn)折詞“for example”不妥當(dāng);應(yīng)該這樣：

　　“They are wasting resources. For example, they use too much time, energy and money.”

　　不然就要換一換轉(zhuǎn)折詞，改用“such as”或“l(fā)ike”：

　　“They are wasting resources, such as (or like) time, energy and money.”

　　不管任何語言，轉(zhuǎn)折詞(transitional words)都扮演著一個重要角色，就是：承先啟后，使句子緊湊，段落相吸，對文章結(jié)構(gòu)，有良性作用。但是有些人幾乎沒有采用轉(zhuǎn)折詞的習(xí)慣，結(jié)果文句松散，上下文七零八亂，應(yīng)該避免。

　　現(xiàn)在把主要轉(zhuǎn)折詞，分類列下，供大家參考。
