在口語中,當我們想要舉例說明的時候,通常會用下面的表達:
for example
for instance
as an illustration
such as
今天我們學習兩個縮寫詞:“ i.e.” 和 “e.g.”。相信不少小伙伴一定見過吧!但是你知道它們怎么來讀嗎?意思上又如何進行區(qū)分呢?由于是縮寫詞,所以在書寫的時候,一定不能將縮寫中的“.”丟掉哦!
i.e. 是 拉丁語 id est 的縮寫,意思是“那就是說、換句話說”,等同于that is / in other,用來進一步解釋前面所表明的觀點。
I like citrus fruits(柑橘類水果), i.e., the juicy(多汁的), edible fruits (食用水果)with leathery(堅韌的), aromatic(有香味的) rinds (皮)of any of numerous tropical(熱帶的), usually thorny shrubs (多刺的灌木)or trees of the genus Citrus(柑橘屬).
The food was okay.
i.e.I ate it because I was hungry, but wished it was better.
I'm so tired.
i.e. I want to go home.
e.g. 是拉丁語 exempli gratia 的縮寫,意思是“舉個例子,比如”,等同于for example、 for the sake of example、such as,使用 e.g. 的目的是用幾個例子來說明前面的觀點。
I like citrus fruits(柑橘類水果), e.g., tangerines(橘子), lemons(檸檬), and limes(酸橙).
I'm so tired.e.g., I fell asleep at my desk this morning.
She is really sweet. e.g., She brought me a cupcake for my birthday.
He is so nice. e.g., He takes care of his nephew after work.
最后,再次總結(jié)一下:
i.e.=in other words / that is
e.g.=for example
關于讀音:
i.e. 直接讀 that is
e.g. 直接讀 for example
