前幾天幫同學看作文,其中一段前兩句話如下:
Stopping reading or listening to the news for a while can improve
people’s mental health. That is to say, nowadays there are more
and controversial contents in the news.
同學可以先想看看你覺得這裡that is to say用對了嗎?如果不適合,怎麼
改比較好呢?先想想再往下看喔!
首先我們先看字典定義,韋氏字典有兩個解釋:
1—used when giving more accurate or specific information about
someone or something that was just mentioned
We—that is to saymy wife and I—will be attending the wedding.
2—used when giving information that affects something previously
mentioned
We plan on going to the concert—that is, if tickets are still
available.
Cambridge dictionary的解釋:
or moreexactly
更確切地講;也就是說
Ourfriends, that is to sayourson'sfriends, willmeetus at the
airport.
我們的朋友,更確切地講是我們兒子的朋友,會到機場接我們。
其他例句:
- They, that’s to say Matt and John, were arguing about what to
do.
- Languages are taught by the direct method, that is to say, without
using the student’s own language.
根據以上兩個字典的解釋跟例句我們可以知道that is to say是要對「剛剛
提及的概念」提出「更具體的資訊」,不要因為一直想用轉折詞湊字數,或
是覺得第一句主題句講完下一句就要接That is to say, 而亂放。
另外根據上面的例句來看,應該會發現that is 比較常用在兩個逗號或兩個
破折號(em dash)之間,或是一個破折號再接一個逗號。
那同學的這個句子應該怎麼改比較好呢?有兩個方向可以改改看。
1. 如果想保留that is to say, 可以這樣寫:
Stopping reading or listening to the news for a while can improve
people’s mental health, that is to say, our emotional or
psychological well-being.
用our emotional or psychological well-being補充解釋什麼叫做 “
mental health”
2. 如果想維持原本接下來想表達的句子,該怎麼辦呢?如果不適合放轉折
詞,其實很多情況就是直接寫下去,不要放,如下:
Stopping reading or listening to the news for a while can improve
people’s mental health. Nowadays there are more and controversial
contents in the news.
從這三篇的提到的轉折詞Furthermore, In other words, That is to say,
同學應該更知道如何精準的使用轉折詞。使用的當,可以讓作文更加分,因
為官方有明確提到appropriate word choice and idiomaticity 也是評分
標準之一,用不好反而還可能因此扣分,得不償失喔!
最後再提醒同學,合適地放轉折詞可以讓文章更通順、流暢,但如果沒把握
這兩句之間適不適合放轉折詞,其實就直接寫下去,不放也沒關係喔!
