英语课上不会讲：如何正确使用 “etc.” ？
<p>你是不是有时候不知道如何正确使用“<span word="et">et</span> <span word="cetera">cetera</span>”（意为“等等”）？一般简写为“<span word="etc">etc</span>. ”。 很多同学在拼写、加标点、甚至发音上都会搞错。 “<span word="et">et</span> <span word="cetera">cetera</span>”作为一个缩略词，学校老师一般不会仔细讲它的正确用法。尽管如此，了解 “<span word="et">et</span> <span word="cetera">cetera</span>”的正确使用还是很必要的。下面让我们来看一看吧！</p><p>1、 "<span word="et">et</span> <span word="cetera">cetera</span>"一般是指“等等”，或“同一类别的所有事物”</p><p>"<span word="et">et</span> <span word="cetera">cetera</span>"，同"<span word="and">and</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="forth">forth</span>"，"<span word="and">and</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="on">on</span>"，<span word="or">or</span> "<span word="and">and</span> <span word="other">other</span> <span word="things">things</span>" 差不多意思，同时也可以表示未列全的一类事物。这里强调， "<span word="et">et</span> <span word="cetera">cetera</span>"表示的是同类事物。例如：</p><p>你可以讲："<span word="We">We</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="use">use</span> <span word="cupcakes">cupcakes</span>, <span word="cookies">cookies</span>, <span word="etc">etc</span>." 或者 "<span word="We">We</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="use">use</span> <span word="cupcakes">cupcakes</span>, <span word="cookies">cookies</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="on">on</span>." 表示他们可以使用任何甜点；但不可以讲："<span word="Bring">Bring</span> <span word="hamburger">hamburger</span> <span word="buns">buns</span>, <span word="paper">paper</span> <span word="plates">plates</span>, <span word="cupcakes">cupcakes</span>, <span word="etc">etc</span>." 因为句中列出来的并不是同一种类的东西，读者不会知道你所指的到底是哪一类。</p><p>2、不要将“<span word="etc">etc</span>”用于 "<span word="such">such</span> <span word="as">as</span>" 或 "<span word="for">for</span> <span word="example">example</span>" 引导的介绍性短语中</p><p>"<span word="Bring">Bring</span> <span word="items">items</span> <span word="such">such</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="cake">cake</span>, <span word="chocolates">chocolates</span>, <span word="ice">ice</span> <span word="cream">cream</span>, <span word="etc">etc</span>. <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="party">party</span>." 这样的句子是不对的。因为 "<span word="such">such</span> <span word="as">as</span>"本身就意味着讲话者没有列举全。</p><p>可表达成："<span word="Bring">Bring</span> <span word="items">items</span> <span word="such">such</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="cake">cake</span>, <span word="chocolates">chocolates</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="ice">ice</span> <span word="cream">cream</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="party">party</span>" 或 "<span word="Bring">Bring</span> <span word="cake">cake</span>, <span word="chocolates">chocolates</span>, <span word="ice">ice</span> <span word="cream">cream</span>, <span word="etc">etc</span>. <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="party">party</span>."</p><p>3、一个句子中不能多次使用 "<span word="etc">etc</span>."</p>
