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, I'm afraid, I'm sure, you see, you know, as you know, that is, that is to say, what's more等等,它们可以置于句中或句尾。如:

I suggest you choose someone who you think is kind and friendly.

This diet, I think, will do good to your health.

It won't be raining long, I hope.

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 father's second wife was kind to him too.

You'll be able to pass the coming exam, surely.

Luckily for him, he didn't hurt in the accident.

Honestly, I don't need it at the moment.

3. 介词或介词短语作插入语,这类插入语一般放在句首,有时也可放在句中。如:

Like most of my schoolmates, I have neither brothers nor sisters-in other words, I'm an only child.

By the way, Bob sends his best wishes.

On the other hand, I didn't know you were there.

In short, things have begun to improve since schools were called on to reduce learning load.

4. 分词短语作插入语。如:

Judging from your accent, you must be from England.

Generally speaking, he is the best student in our class.

Compared with China, the USA is smaller.

5. 不定式短语作插入语。如:

To put it mildly, he was not up to the mark.

To tell you the truth, I don't want to see her.

To be sure, Jim is a faster skater, but he is not good at doing figures.

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：personally, honestly, fortunately, luckily, for us, though, besides, exactly, surely, frankly, still otherwise 等。

Luckily for you, I happen to have the key.

你很运气，我正好带了钥匙。

3. 介词短语作插入语

如：of course, in short, as a matter of fact, by the way, on the other hand, in my opinion, in conclusion等。

In short, we should not stop halfway.

简言之，我们不能半途而废。

As a result, they suffered heavy losses.

结果，他们受到了严重损失。

On the contrary, we should strengthen our ties with them.

相反，我们还应加强和他们的联系。

4. 现在分词短语作插入语

如：generally speaking, judging from/ by …, talking of…, considering…等。

从年龄考虑，他干得挺不错。
