such as、for example和like的區(qū)別
1)for example和such as都可當(dāng)作“例如”解.但such as用來(lái)列舉事物,插在被列舉事物與前面的名詞之間.例如:
①The farm grows various kinds of crops, such as wheat, corn, cotton and rice.
這個(gè)農(nóng)場(chǎng)種植各種各樣的莊稼,例如麥子,玉米,棉花和稻米.
Some of the European languages come from Latin,such as French,Italian and Spanish.
有些歐洲語(yǔ)言來(lái)源于拉丁語(yǔ),例如,法語(yǔ)、意大利語(yǔ)和西班牙語(yǔ).
Boys such as John and James are very friendly.
像約翰和詹姆斯這樣的男孩都很友好.
【注意】
(1)such as一般不宜與and so on連用.
(2)對(duì)前面的復(fù)數(shù)名詞部分起列舉作用,一般不全部列出.故不可以說(shuō):
He knows four languages, such as Chinese, English, French and German. 應(yīng)將such as改成namely, 后面加逗號(hào).即:He knows four languages, namely, Chinese, English, French and German.
2)for example意為用來(lái)舉例說(shuō)明,有時(shí)可作為獨(dú)立語(yǔ),插在句中,不影響句子其他部分的語(yǔ)法關(guān)系.例如:
①A lot of people here, for example, Mr John, would rather have coffee.
這兒的許多人,例如約翰先生,寧愿喝咖啡.
For example,air is invisible.
例如,空氣是看不見(jiàn)的.
He,for example,is a good student.
例如,他就是個(gè)好學(xué)生.

He has several such reference books as dictionaries and handbooks.
他有幾本像字典、手冊(cè)之類的參考書.
注 意
使用such as來(lái)舉例子,只能舉出其中的一部分,一般不能全部舉出.若全部舉出,要改用namely(意為“即”).
He knows four languages,namely Chinese,English,Russian and French.
他精通四門語(yǔ)言,即漢語(yǔ)、英語(yǔ)、俄語(yǔ)和法語(yǔ).
