[语法] thus 和 so 都表示“因此”,用法有重大区别!

thus表示“因此”,跟 so 类似,但有很大区别,thus 主要有两种用法:
一、thus + 句子
如果你想表示“我那时很饿,因此吃了三碗饭”:
1. I was hungry. Thus, I had three bowls of rice.(句号+Thus+逗号)
2.I was hungry, and thus, I had three bowls of rice.(逗号+and+thus+逗号)
3.I was hungry; thus, I had three bowls of rice. (分号+thus+逗号)
虽然 thus 跟 so 意思相似,但它们有以下两个区别:
1.so 偏口语、thus 偏写作。
2.so 是连词,可以跟句子,单但 thus 是副词!是副词!是副词!(重要事情说三遍),后面不能跟句子哦!
很多人都没注意到 thus 是副词,所以常会写出像下面这样的错误句子:
I was hungry, thus I had three bowls of rice.
把上句的 thus 改成 so 就对啦!
二、thus+现在分词结构
这个结构表示“因此能…”、“以…”之意,例如:
1.He bought a car, thus making his life more comfortable.
译:他买了俩车,因此能让生活变得更舒服。
2.The store decided to run 24-7, thus increasing its revenues.
译:这家店决定全天候营业,以增加营收。
3.The company laid off many employees, thus reducing its cost.
译:这家公司辞退了很多员工,以降低成本。
注意,“thus+现在分词”结构前面一定要加逗号哦!
