therefore的用法

文/皇上松1219
专题:

therefore意思是结果、对某事进行推论、因此、所以、故、乃,用于整句中一般放在句首和句中,也可用在分句中。

1、当therefore在整句中时,一般不放句末,放在句首后要有逗号,放在句中时前后都要有逗号。

He was the only candidate; therefore, he was elected.

他是唯一的候选人,因此,他当选了。

The Chinese Christians,therefore,practically excommunicate themselves from their own clan.

所以,中国的基督徒简直是被逐出了自己的家族了。

2、当therefore用在分句中时,即一个句子一部分表示原因一部分表示结果。

这时一般词前要用分号,其后用不用逗号无所谓。若第二个分句前是逗号或无符号,则要注意therefore是副词,和so不一样,要保持句子完整,应用and therefore。

I had a headache,therefore I could not go to your party.

我头痛,所以不能去参加你的聚会。

I was ill, and therefore I could not come.

我病了,所以没能来。

我们的钱不够,因此买不成这辆新车。
