先看下面兩個(gè)句子:
For example,BBC broadcasts English programmes for China with explanations in Chinese.例如,BBC對(duì)中國(guó)廣播的英語(yǔ)節(jié)目配有漢語(yǔ)解釋.
English is spoken in many countries,such as Australia and Canada.許多國(guó)家都講英語(yǔ),例如澳大利亞和加拿大.
這兩個(gè)短語(yǔ)都可以作"例如"解.
(1) for example用來(lái)舉例說(shuō)明某一論點(diǎn)或情況,一般只舉同類人或物中的"一個(gè)"為例,作插入語(yǔ),可位于句首、句中或句末.例如:
Ball games,for example,have spread around the world.例如,球類運(yùn)動(dòng)已經(jīng)在世界各地傳播開了.
What would you do if you met a wild animal - a lion,for example?如果遇上野獸,例如獅子,你該怎么辦?
(2) such as用來(lái)列舉事物時(shí),一般列舉同類人或事物中的幾個(gè)例子.插在被列舉的事物與前面的名詞之間,as后面不可有逗號(hào).例如:
Some of the rubbish,such as food,paper and iron,rots away over a long period of time.有些廢物,如剩飯、廢紙和廢鐵,時(shí)間一久就爛掉了.
