由于寫作習(xí)慣的原因，很多留學(xué)生都覺得英文論文寫作很難，很多時(shí)候都不知道該怎么去表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn)，或者是無法很好地表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn)。其實(shí)在這種情況下，同學(xué)們可以嘗試用一些短語來表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)，下面就給大家推薦一下英文寫作高分短語。

1.In order to為了……

Usage: “In order to”can be used to introduce an explanation for the purpose of an argument.

Example:“In order to understand X,we need first to understand Y.”

2.In other words換句話說

Usage: Use“in other words”when you want to express something in a different way(more simply),to make it easier to understand,or to emphasise or expand on a point.

用途：當(dāng)你想用不同的方式來表達(dá)某一種觀點(diǎn)的時(shí)候，為了使其容易理解，或者為了強(qiáng)調(diào)或者擴(kuò)展某一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)的時(shí)候可以使用這個(gè)短語。

Example:“Frogs are amphibians.In other words,they live on the land and in the water.”

3.To put it another way換句話說

Usage: This phrase is another way of saying“in other words”,and can be used in particularly complex points,when you feel that an alternative way of wording a problem may help the reader achieve a better understanding of its significance.

這個(gè)短語是in other words的另外一種說法，可以用在一些比較困難的觀點(diǎn)的說明上，對(duì)于這些觀點(diǎn)，你可能會(huì)認(rèn)為換另外一種說法能夠讓讀者更容易理解它的重要性。

Example:“Plants rely on photosynthesis.To put it another way,they will die without the sun.”

4.That is to say也就是說

Usage: “That is”and“that is to say”can be used to add further detail to your explanation,or to be more precise.

這個(gè)短語一般是用在當(dāng)你想要增加一些更細(xì)節(jié)的信息，或者想要說的更加精確的時(shí)候。

Example:“Whales are mammals.That is to say,they must breathe air.”

5.To that end為了達(dá)到那個(gè)目的

Usage: Use“to that end”or“to this end”in a similar way to“in order to”or“so”.

其實(shí)to that end或者to this end的用法和in order to或者so的用法相似。

Example:“Zoologists have long sought to understand how animals communicate with each other.To that end,a new study has been launched that looks at elephant sounds and their possible meanings.”

Adding additional information to support a point

添加額外的信息來支撐一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)

Students often make the mistake of using synonyms of“and”each time they want to add further information in support of a point they’re making,or to build an argument.Here are some cleverer ways of doing this.

6.Moreover另外，此外、還有……

Usage: Employ“moreover”at the start of a sentence to add extra information in support of a point you’re making.

這個(gè)詞一般用在一個(gè)句子的開始來增加額外的信息，用以支撐你正在樹立的觀點(diǎn)。

Example:“Moreover,the results of a recent piece of research provide compelling evidence in support of…”

7.Furthermore此外，而且

Usage: This is also generally used at the start of a sentence,to add extra information.

Example:“Furthermore,there is evidence to suggest that…”

8.What’s more此外

Usage: This is used in the same way as“moreover”and“furthermore”.

Example:“What’s more,this isn’t the only evidence that supports this hypothesis.”

9.Likewise同樣地

Usage: Use“l(fā)ikewise”when you want to talk about something that agrees with what you’ve just mentioned.

當(dāng)你想要表述某一個(gè)與你前面提到的內(nèi)容相一致的東西的時(shí)候，你就可以使用這個(gè)詞。

Example:“Scholar A believes X.Likewise,Scholar B argues compellingly in favour of this point of view.”

10.Similarly類似地

Usage: Use“similarly”in the same way as“l(fā)ikewise”.

Example:“Audiences at the time reacted with shock to Beethoven’s new work,because it was very different to what they were used to.Similarly,we have a tendency to react with surprise to the unfamiliar.”

11.Another key thing to remember

另外一個(gè)需要記住（注意）的事情是。

Usage: Use the phrase“another key point to remember”or“another key fact to remember”to introduce additional facts without using the word“also”.

當(dāng)想要表述另外的事實(shí)或者信息，但是同時(shí)你又不想使用also這個(gè)詞的時(shí)候，你可以考慮使用這個(gè)短語。

Example:“As a Romantic,Blake was a proponent of a closer relationship between humans and nature.Another key point to remember is that Blake was writing during the Industrial Revolution,which had a major impact on the world around him.”

12.As well as

Usage: Use“as well as”instead of“also”or“and”.

同樣可以用來替代also或者and。

Example:“Scholar A argued that this was due to X,as well as Y.”

13.Not only…but also不僅如此……而且……

Usage: This wording is used to add an extra piece of information,often something that’s in some way more surprising or unexpected than the first piece of information.

Example:“Not only did Edmund Hillary have the honour of being the first to reach the summit of Everest,but he was also appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire.”

14.Coupled with

Usage: Used when considering two or more arguments at a time.

當(dāng)同時(shí)提出兩個(gè)或者更多的論點(diǎn)的時(shí)候，可以使用這個(gè)短語進(jìn)行過渡。這其實(shí)是一個(gè)過去分詞短語作狀語，其意思可以大致理解為“與……一起的還有……”。

Example:“Coupled with the literary evidence,the statistics paint a compelling view of…”

15.Firstly,secondly,thirdly…

Usage: This can be used to structure an argument,presenting facts clearly one after the other.

Example:“There are many points in support of this view.Firstly,X.Secondly,Y.And thirdly,Z.

16.Not to mention/to say nothing of更不必說

Usage: “Not to mention”and“to say nothing of”can be used to add extra information with a bit of emphasis.

提供另外的一些信息，并且對(duì)這額外的信息加以一定的強(qiáng)調(diào)。

Example:“The war caused unprecedented suffering to millions of people,not to mention its impact on the country’s economy.”

Words and phrases for demonstrating contrast

表示對(duì)比的詞語或短語。

When you’re developing an argument,you will often need to present contrasting or opposing opinions or evidence–“it could show this,but it could also show this”,or“X says this,but Y disagrees”.This section covers words you can use instead of the“but”in these examples,to make your writing sound more intelligent and interesting.

17.However 然而，但是

Usage: Use“however”to introduce a point that disagrees with what you’ve just said.

Example:“Scholar A thinks this.However,Scholar B reached a different conclusion.”

18.On the other hand

Usage: Usage of this phrase includes introducing a contrasting interpretation of the same piece of evidence,a different piece of evidence that suggests something else,or an opposing opinion.

Example:“The historical evidence appears to suggest a clear-cut situation.On the other hand,the archaeological evidence presents a somewhat less straightforward picture of what happened that day.”

19.Having said that除……之外，即便如此

Usage: Used in a similar manner to“on the other hand”or“but”.

與on the other hand或者but用法類似。

其實(shí)這個(gè)短語從表現(xiàn)形式上看它是一個(gè)現(xiàn)在分詞短語作狀語，但是由于它被使用的次數(shù)非常頻繁，所以現(xiàn)在它已經(jīng)成為了一個(gè)獨(dú)立的短語。

Example:“The historians are unanimous in telling us X,an agreement that suggests that this version of events must be an accurate account.Having said that,the archaeology tells a different story.”

20.By contrast/in comparison通過比較

Usage: Use“by contrast”or“in comparison”when you’re comparing and contrasting pieces of evidence.

Example:“Scholar A’s opinion,then,is based on insufficient evidence.By contrast,Scholar B’s opinion seems more plausible.”

以上就是海馬課堂為大家整理的比較實(shí)用的20個(gè)短語，希望正在忙著寫論文的同學(xué)們能夠用得上。
