such as與for example的用法區(qū)別

一、兩者的用法共同點(diǎn)

such as與for example均可用於表示擧例，有時(shí)可互換。如：

Some sports, such as (=for example) motor racing, can be dangerous. 有些躰育運(yùn)動(dòng)，比如賽車，有時(shí)是很危險(xiǎn)的。

My wife likes social activities, such as (=for example) tennis and golf. 我妻子喜愛社交活動(dòng)，如打網(wǎng)球和高爾夫球等。

二、兩者的用法不同點(diǎn)

such as除表示擧例外，還可表示諸如此類，意思是“像……這樣的”“諸如……之類的”，此時(shí)不宜與for example互換（但可與表示諸如此類意思的like互換）。如：

Opportunities such as (=like) this did not come every day. 這樣的機(jī)會(huì)不是天天都有的。

Avoid unhealthy foods such as (=like) hamburger and chips. 不要喫漢堡和薯?xiàng)l之類的不健康食品。

另外，such as有時(shí)可分開用，但for example不能分開用。如：

The disease attacks such animals as cats and dogs. 這種病衹侵襲像貓狗一類的動(dòng)物。(比較：The disease attacks animals such as cats and dogs.)

三、兩者位置的不同點(diǎn)

such as用於擧例時(shí)，縂是跟在被說明的內(nèi)容之後，不能獨(dú)立成句，也不能用於句首或句末，其後也不能用逗號(hào)，但for example可以。如：

Each situation is different. For example, a man with a rich wife doesn't have to work. 情況各有不同，例如，娶了有錢妻子的男人就不必工作。

You make too many mistakes—lots of spelling mistakes, for example. 你的錯(cuò)誤太多——比如，有好多拼法錯(cuò)誤。
