For instance 是什么意思?举例时怎样放进句子

For instance 表示例如,可以放在句首或句中。它本身就能引出例子,不必再加 as;与 such as 的区别还在于后面接什么。

For instance 表示“例如”,用法与 for example 相同。它用一个具体例子支持一般观点,既适合作文,也适合日常对话。它可以放在句首、句中或句末,通常用逗号与其他部分隔开。

Sentence. For instance, + clause; …, for instance, … (mid-sentence); clause, for instance. (at the end)

  • Some jobs are hard to automate. For instance, childcare requires patience and constant attention to each child.
  • Small changes can cut your energy bills; switching off chargers at night, for instance, costs nothing.
  • There's plenty to do here at the weekend. You could visit the old port, for instance.

修改原因

修改前Some countries, as for instance Finland, offer free school meals to all children.

修改后Some countries, for instance Finland, offer free school meals to all children.

有时会觉得引出例子需要在 for instance 前再加 as。但这里 as 是多余的:for instance 本身就能引出例子。修改删掉 as,其他部分不变。

Cambridge Dictionary

Such as 直接放在用作例子的名词前,后面不加逗号:sports such as tennis and golf。For instance 的位置更灵活,可以开始一个新句子,也可以放在句中并用逗号隔开:Tennis, for instance, is very popular here。

查看答案

For instance — 空格位于新句子的开头,逗号后是一个带动词的完整意思。这样的例子用 for instance 引出。Such as 通常在句子内部直接引出例子,不能在这里单独引出后面的完整句子。
