英語句子的組織和信息排序

Firstly / Secondly

當你闡述一系列的觀點時，你可以使用 firstly 和 secondly 來描述第一個和第二個觀點，随後， 你可以用 “The third point,” ”The fourth point,” 等， 還可以用“in addition.” 來表達你還有其它的觀點。

注: In addition, moreover, 以及 furthermore 是非常正規的英語表達方式。在非正規的英語口語中，我們通常會使用 plus, what’s more, 以及 besides等表達方式。

Lastly / Finally

對于最後一個觀點，你可以用lastly 或者 finally來闡述觀點。這些單詞可以讓讀者或聽衆明白，你要結束該段寫作或演講。

the former / the latter

You can use these words to refer back to two examples previously mentioned:

Our company has two factories: one in Detroit and one in Atlanta. The former is operating at 95% capacity and the latter at 65%.

In this case, “the former” = the factory in Detroit, and “the latter” = the factory in Atlanta.

你可以用這些詞來指代前面提到的兩個例子:

Our company has two factories: one in Detroit and one in Atlanta. The former is operating at 95% capacity and the latter at 65%.

在本例中“the former” = the factory in Detroit, 而 “the latter” = the factory in Atlanta.
