插入语用法归纳

1、插入语用法归纳插入语用法很多,在句子中的位置比较灵活,在学习中应当认真去体会。大体而言,插入语可以分为以下几类: 1. 用简短的句子结构作插入语。这类短语有:I think, I hope, I guess, I believe, I suppose, I wonder, I tell you, I say, Im afraid, Im sure, you see, you know, as you know, that is, that is to say, whats more等等,它们可以置于句中或句尾。如: I suggest you choose someone who you th

You will have to work harder, you know, if you want to succeed. 2. 副词或副词短语用作插入语,这类插入语一般放在句首或句尾。如: Happily for him, his fathers second wife was kind to him too. Youll be able to pass the coming

3、 exam, surely. Luckily for him, he didnt hurt in the accident.

To conclude, it was a great success.在日常交际用语和书面表达中，插入语频频出现。英语中的插入语（Parenthesis）是插在句子中的一个词，短语或从句，通常被逗号、破折号或句子的其他部分隔开，它与句子的其他部分之间没有语法上的关

6、系，因此，有的语法学家将其归为独立成分。 插入语在句中通常是对一句话的一些附加解释，说明或总结；有时表示说话者的态度和看法；有时起强调的作用；有时是为了引起对方的注意；还可以起转移话题或说明事由的作用；也可以承上启下，使句子与前面的语句衔接的更紧密一些。 插入语大致可分为以下10种类型： 1. 形容词或形容词短语作插入语 如：worst still, sure enough, strange, most important of all等。 Strange, there is nobody in the classroom. 很奇怪，教室里没人。 2. 副词或副词短语作插入语 如：person

9、rankly speaking, I dont like the job. 坦率地说，我不喜欢这份工作。 Talking of singing, will you go to the concert with me tonight? 说到唱歌，你今晚愿意和我一块去音乐会吗？ 5. 过去分词短语作插入语 Painted white, we like the house better. 漆成白色，我们更喜欢这房子。 注意：之所以称它为插入语，是由于这种过去分词是独立的，没有逻辑主语。 6. 动词不定式 如：to be sure, to be frank（坦率地说），to tell you the

10、truth（说实话），so to speak （可以说）等。 To be frank, I dont quite agree with you. 坦率地说，我不太同意你的意见。 Thats a wonderful idea, to be sure. 这个主意好极了，的确。 To tell you the truth, I am not very interested in going to the show. 说实在的，我不太想去看演出。 7. 代词词组 如：all the same（尽管如此），all told（总共），all in all（总的来说）等。 His crew was redu

14、这样认为，他是一个值得同情的人。 插入语 2004/12/15 15:02 新浪教育英语句子中(尤其在口语中)常插入一些单词、短语或者句子，用来补充某些含义。语法上称它们为“插入语”。插入语在句中起到解释、说明等作用，有时表达说话人一种看法。很多插入语对句子本身的影响并不大，如果去掉它，我们仍然清楚句子所表达的意思。然而有些插入语是句子不可缺少的成分，如果去掉句子的意思就不完整，如for example, in other words等。1. 插入语的类型(1) 单词(多是副词)单词作插入语时位置比较随便，我们常见的多位于句末， 它们也可以位于句中或句

15、首。 常见的作插入语的单词有though, however, therefore, personally, luckily ,fortunately, obviously等。有些副词可以表示上下文的逻辑关系，起到连接的作用(虽然本身不是连词)，这一类副词常用逗号把它与句子隔开。有些副词表达说话人的看法或观点，它们多位于句首。I had thought I could not pass the exam. I passed, though.我原以为我通过不了这次考试，我还是通过了。She had seen the picture. However, she never told it to an

16、yone. 她曾见过那幅画。然而，她从未向其他人提及。Luckily, his fathers second wife was kind to him. 幸运的是，他父亲的第二任妻子对他很好。(2) 短语现在分词短语、不定式短语、介词短语都可以作插入语，它们在句中起到补充说明的作用。常见的作插入语的短语有，for example, by the way, in some way, judging from, to tell you the truth, so far, on the contrary, on wonder, chances (are that)，worse still, to

17、start with等。By the way, how can I find you? 顺便问一句，我如何找到你？What on earth do you want to say ? 你到底想说什么？To tell you the truth, I have found out that he stole the car.说实话，我已经弄清他偷了那辆车。(3) 句子我们常见的作插入语的句子有，do you think, I believe, do you know, whats more, lets say, that is to say,它们多位于句末，来表达客气或征询别人的看法。也可以表示

18、补充。表示疑问的插入语也可以位于句中或句末。He is an honest man, I believe. 我相信，他是个诚实人As far as I know, Jack isnt clever. 据我所知，杰克并不聪明。How soon will he be ready, do you expect ? 你想一下，他多长时间能准备好？2. 有些复杂的特殊疑问句，也可认为包含有“插入语”。这种疑问句( 也称为“混合疑问句”或“连锁疑问句”)，常用来征询某一疑问点的看法、判断、认识、 猜度或请求。口语中出现的频率极高。When do you expect he will come back ?

19、 你想他会什么时候回来？Who do you guess has taken away the book ? 你猜是谁拿走了那本书？3. 防止句中的插入语干扰我们对句子结构的掌握及对句子意义的理解。由于插入语的位置比较随便，在许多情况下它可以位于句中，因此它对我们考生的干扰是比较大的。直击高考1.
