根據(jù)語(yǔ)法中的平行和從屬結(jié)構(gòu)原則，一個(gè)復(fù)合句中必須要有一個(gè)過(guò)渡詞，否則句子是不符合語(yǔ)法規(guī)則的。過(guò)渡詞作為一種關(guān)系指引詞，一般由副詞或起副詞作用的短語(yǔ)承擔(dān)。此外，代詞、連詞、上下文的近義詞等也可作過(guò)渡詞。要寫出清晰流暢的文章，就需要把文章中各部分巧妙地連接在一起。這樣可使文章自然而別致，并能層層展開主題句，完整地表達(dá)中心思想。而過(guò)渡詞(Transitional Words)就是連接這些部分的紐帶，使文章起、承、轉(zhuǎn)、合，融會(huì)貫通，連成一體。下面我們就來(lái)了解一下各類過(guò)渡詞的具體使用，如何起承轉(zhuǎn)合構(gòu)成一篇邏輯嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)暮梦恼隆?/p>
