发表的英文论文，都如何使用连接词？
您可以使用一些单字或短词组来连接前后的句子、段落以及章节，藉此引导读者阅读您的文章。妥善运用连接词能使您的文章易于被理解；反之，不良的使用则会使整篇文章缺乏条理，甚至会出现过多零散的短句，使读者难以掌握文章的重点。
了解连接词的最好方法是透过大量的阅读。大部分的教科书及论文都是精心编写而成的，并且运用了许多不同方式来连接句子，建议您在阅读时多留意当中连接词的用法，将之学起来并应用在自己的文章中。在写作时也可以多尝试使用不同的表达方式，尤其是在较长的文章中。不过，请务必要完全了解这些词所代表的意思，错误的使用可能会完全改变您原先想表达的意思。
以下列出了许多连接词及词组，碍于篇幅的关系，仍有许多其他字词未被纳入。
当然，不要忘了最常见的and，它是您在连接两个较短句子的最佳选择。
请注意：被归属同一类别的字词并不代表它们有着相同的意思，它们在句子中的位置也有所不同，您可以透过更多的阅读或查询字典来了解它们的意思及使用方式。
