历年考研英语中常见的十五种“逻辑关系词（或称衔接词）”Preface ：“逻辑关系词”对于一篇好的文章来说是非常重要的！！！它就像一座桥，连接段与段、句与句，起到一种微妙的“衔接上下文”作用，即承上启下、起承转合、过渡性作用。
有效充分地利用逻辑关系词可以让你的文章“语义连贯、完整、顺畅”，不至于太突兀！下面就是我耗费心血、精心整理而成的历年考研英语中常见的十五种逻辑关系词，掌握了这些有助于你做阅读理解，有助于在阅读中更好、更快地把握文章的的写作思路和整体结构框架，理清文章的逻辑顺序与段与段之间的语义、逻辑关系，从而迅速找出正确答案。
有利于做排序题，更有利于你的写作！！！（写作时尽量用那些字数多的短语，这样可以增加作文字数）。
需要注意的一点是，有的逻辑关系词不只表示一种逻辑关系，有些逻辑关系之间是贯通的，例如 otherwise 表示转折、对比、结果 3 种逻辑关系；让步之中含有转折的含义；对比之中含有转折、强调之意；并列之中含有递进的含义，例如as well as，as well，also，too既表示并列又表示递进；总结之中含有强调的含义，例如substantially，generally，mainly 既表示总结又表示强调;递进之中有补充解释说明之意，例如namely，in other words。
考研朋友们在做题中应当加以体会和领悟。
期望本文能对考研的朋友有所裨益。
同时本人热烈欢迎各位朋友踊跃对本文加以批评和相互交流，在此，我对朋友们的帮助表示无尽的感激之情！！！第一，表示因果（世界上最重要的一种关系就是因果关系）1.表示原因because （ of ） =be responsible for = as = since =for = therein = root =origin （ al ） =causality = due ∕ owing ∕ thanks∕according to = be attributed∕contributed to （原因是）= now ∕ in that =seeing ∕ considering ∕ given （ that ） = onaccount of =on this account = on ground of ∕ that （强调主观理由） = out of = for the sake of = in （ the ） light of = in view of （ the fact that ） = by ∕ in virtue of = by reason of = asa result ∕ consequence of = in consequence of =arise from = putsth down to sth（把……归因于……）【注】put down ① 把……归因于+ to sth ② 把……看作∕视为 put sth down as sth ③使（当众）出丑，让某人丢人现眼④ 写下，记下⑤ 将……提请（议会或委员会）审议 to put down a motion∕amendment提交一项动议或修正案⑥ 登记，注册，列入名单 + for sth 例句：Put me down for three tickets for Saturday。
2.表示结果①So = hence =therefore = therefor = thereby = thereof =thereout = therewithal = thereupon = thus = consequent(ly)=result （ ing ） =effect =consequence = in consequence = as aresult ∕ consequence = result in = accordingly = give riseto = lead to = arouse = agitate =awaken = fire up = provoke =spark = spur = stimulate = stir （激起，引起，引发，激发）= trigger= activate = prompt = set in motion = set off = contribute∕ attribute to = bring about ∕on =present =it follows ∕turns out that …②Or else = otherwise 否则，要不然【注】 or else 与 otherwise 既表示转折，又表示对比，还表示结果。
第二，表示对比1.表示“相似性的”对比①Likewise = like =similar （ ly ） = akin = parallel（ with …） = analogous ∕ analogy = comparable = by ∕ incomparison （ with …）与……相似的②Identical = same 完全相同的 = much as = as much 同……一样be consistent with = consistently = be in agreement with =coincide with …= accord ∕agree with = match（意见、利益等）与……一致的，相符的2.表示“差异性的”对比（这些词也be可以表示转折、强调）Unlike = by ∕ in contrast = in turn = in contrast to ∕ with= conversely = alternatively = on the contrary = contrary to= contrarily = on the other hand = otherwise = while = whereas= （ run ） counter to 与……相反的，但是，然而3.暂时无法确定是“差异性”还是“相似性”的①比较级、最高级 most important = dominant(ly)= largely②Of … and …第三，表示递进①besides =therewith = as well as = as well = and = also =too = in addition （ to ） = moreover = furthermore = apart ∕ aside from除……之外还，此外，而且，加之（用于“包括的”特殊人或事物前）②that is （ to say ） = namely 也就是说（有补充解释说明的作用）③to put it another way = put another way = in other words 换句话说（有补充解释说明的作用）④simply put ∕ stated ∕ spoken 简言之⑤or rather 或者更确切地说【注】注意 besides 与 except 的区别。
例如：① All of us passed besides John 。
（约翰也及格了）；② All of us passed except John 。
（约翰没有及格） except 用于“不包括”的特殊人或事物前第四，表示补充（解释、说明）① But = except （ for ） = apart ∕ aside from = other than除……之外（都），常用于否定句中，用于“不包括”的特殊人或事物前。
例如：① No one saw it but me 。
②There is nobody here other than me 。
②that is （ to say ） = namely 也就是说（有补充解释说明的作用）③to put it another way = put another way = in other words换句话说（有补充解释说明的作用）④冒号、破折号第五，表示让步① Despite = in spite of = notwithstanding = regardless ∕irrespective of = out of account （不予考虑）= in disregard of = for all （ that ） = although = though = as = while = even （if）= much as （用于句首）虽然= granting ∕ granted that不管，不顾，尽管（有），虽然，即使②after all 毕竟③certainly = of course = indeed = it is true that …的确④undoubtedly = there is no doubt that …毫无疑问的是……⑤admittedly = we have to admit that …应该承认的是……⑥it may be true that …或许真实的是……⑦there is no denying that …不可否认的是……⑧to be sure = although （常与 but 连用）可以肯定的是…⑨ at least 至少第六，表示转折①Instead （ of ） = rather than （是……）而不是②But = yet = although = though = while = whereas = when = only= （ but ） rather = instead = still = nevertheless = nonetheless= much as（用于句首）尽管如此，然而，虽然，但是③Otherwise = or else 否则，要不然④In effect ∕fact ∕reality = indeed = virtually 实际上，事实上，的确【注】 although ， though ， while ， whereas ， to be sure ， in effect ∕ fact ， indeed 既表示让步，又表示转折。
第七，表示条件①if = providing ∕ provided ∕ suppose ∕ supposing that如果，假如②in case of = in the event of 万一……③failing 如果不能，如果没有④but for ∕ that 要不是，若非（主句用虚拟语气）⑤unless 除非⑥as long as = only if 只要⑦on condition that …条件是……⑧if only 但愿，要是……就好了（常与虚拟语气连用）⑨ only if 必须在……的条件下（引导条件状语从句）第八，表示目的①For fear of = lest 以免，以防②For the sake of … = in the desire to do sth 为了……③ in order to【注】 for the sake of 既表示原因，又表示目的。
