雅思阅读语意的推断技巧

关于逻辑关系词在阅读中的作用，我们首先来看一段文字：

the discourse markers signal relationships: between different parts of the discourse the main reason for studying them is their usefulness in helping the reader to work out the meaning of difficult text. They often show the relationship the writer intends between two parts of the text, so if you can understand one part, the discourse marker is a possible key to the other part.

关于discourse marker，hews在其Oxford Concise Dictionary of Linguistics 一书中是这样描述的.：Any of a variety of units whose function is within a larger discourse rather than an individual sentence or clause: e.g. but then in But then he might be late. discourse marker

虽然范围更加广泛一些，但从以上文字不难看出，它包括了我们所熟悉的逻辑关系词。也由此可见，特别重视形式逻辑和思维分析的英语行文，在词语之间和句子之间往往会借助各种逻辑关系词清楚表达思维逻辑和语意关系。因此了解和掌握逻辑关系词可以帮助我们把握文章中语意的转换和发展，理解文章重点表达的意思。
