標題[解題] for example=e.g.還是ex.
時間Sun Jun 8 21:05:17 2008
上課的時候教到for example這個片語,
這時突然想到要學生們補上=e.g.,
但當下就有學生們反映說補習班老師都用ex.
查了字典
LONGMAN Dictionary of Contemporary English
e.g.
the abbreviation of
for example
:
citrus fruits, e.g. oranges and grapefruit
Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary
e.g., eg
ABBREVIATION FOR exempli gratia: a Latin phrase which means 'for example'. It
can be pronounced as 'e.g.' or 'for example':
You should eat more food that contains a lot of fibre, e.g. fruit, vegetables
and bread.
Cambridge Dictionary of American English
e.g.
abbreviation for exempli gratia (= Latin for "for example")
In spoken English, people say "for example" or "such as" instead of "e.g."
Eat foods containing a lot of fiber, e.g., fruits, vegetables, and whole
grains.
所以e.g.應該是for example的縮寫沒錯吧?
我的疑惑是有ex.的用法嗎?
如果當講解完單字之後要講的例句該用e.g.還是ex.?
謝謝指教。
