英语逻辑连接词在阅读理解过程中的作用

Discussing the Functions of English Logical Connectors in Reading Comprehension

英语逻辑连接词是连接句内或句子间语义关系的逻辑纽带。逻辑连接词在阅读理解过程中起重要作用———通过逻辑连接词,读者可以了解句内或句子之间的语义关系,甚至可经前句从逻辑上预见后续句的语义,从而提高阅读速度,很快理解阅读材料的语义。

English logical connectors, as we sometimes call signal words, name relationships between ideas in a sentence or a group of sentences. They are very important for readers to grasp the thread of thought in what they are reading. They can help readers understand the relationships between ideas, even predict what will occur next and vary their reading speed, and finally understand the whole ideas of reading materials quickly.
