“因此”常见的英文表述有:“therefore” 、“thus” 、“so” 、“consequently” 。
“therefore”
强调根据逻辑推理得出结论,语气较为正式,例如:“He was busy; therefore, he couldn't come.”(他很忙,因此不能来。)“thus”
常指自然而然或顺理成章的结果,如:“He studied hard; thus he got high marks.” (他学习努力,因此取得了高分。)“so”
是最常用和简洁的表达,比如:“It was late, so I went home.” (天晚了,所以我回家了。)“consequently”
侧重于表示作为某种结果而产生的后续情况,例如:“The company lost a lot of money; consequently, some employees were laid off.” (公司损失了很多钱,因此一些员工被解雇了。)在具体使用时,可以根据语境和表达需要来选择合适的词汇。
