英文作文轉折詞與連接詞:讓組織分數變高的用法整理
WriteUp 編輯部・更新於 2026/10/20・閱讀約 6 分鐘
重點整理
- 轉折詞讓讀者知道下一句和上一句的關係:因果、對比、舉例、補充或結論。
- However、Therefore 這類副詞不能用來連接兩個句子,前面要用句號或分號。
- 不要每句都加轉折詞;用在關係需要說清楚的地方才有加分效果。
五類最實用的轉折詞
| 關係 | 常用說法 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| 因果 | because、so、therefore、as a result | It rained heavily. As a result, the game was canceled. |
| 對比 | but、however、in contrast、while | Some students enjoy group work. However, others prefer to study alone. |
| 舉例 | for example、for instance、such as | Many hobbies, such as hiking and cycling, keep us healthy. |
| 補充 | and、in addition、moreover、also | The plan saves money. In addition, it is good for the environment. |
| 結論 | in short、all in all、in conclusion | All in all, the trip taught me a lot about teamwork. |
最常見的誤用
1. 用 However、Therefore 連接兩個句子
✗I studied hard, however, I failed the test.
✓I studied hard. However, I failed the test.
However 是副詞,不是連接詞。改成句號(或分號),或直接用 but:I studied hard, but I failed the test.
2. On the other hand 沒有真的對比
✗Smartphones are useful. On the other hand, they are also convenient.
✓Smartphones are useful. On the other hand, they can be distracting.
On the other hand 用在「另一面、相反的觀點」,前後要真的有對比。
3. 用 Besides 表示轉折
✗The restaurant is cheap. Besides, the service is terrible.
✓The restaurant is cheap. However, the service is terrible.
Besides 是「而且、此外」,用來補充同方向的理由(The restaurant is cheap. Besides, the food is delicious.);前後意思相反時要用 However 或 but。
4. 每一句都加轉折詞
First、Second、Moreover、Furthermore、In addition 一路用下去,反而顯得生硬。轉折詞是讓關係更清楚的工具,不是每句的開頭裝飾。
段落裡怎麼放轉折詞
一段 4~6 句的段落,通常 2~3 個轉折詞就夠:主題句 → 理由(because / for one thing)→ 例子(for example)→ 結果或小結(as a result / in short)。
✓Learning a second language opens many doors. For one thing, it allows us to communicate with people from other cultures. For example, I once helped a lost tourist find the MRT station in English. As a result, I realized that language is a bridge rather than a school subject.
四個句子各有任務,轉折詞讓「理由 → 例子 → 結果」的關係一目了然。

- However 前面可以用逗號嗎?
