Phil: 在这个播客中,我解释了与名词 "example" 搭配的一些常用动词。首先,"give an example" 和 "provide an example" 用于向他人提供例子,例如,"I'll give you an example of why I'm annoyed." 或者 "I can provide you with some examples of my work so you can see what I can do." 这些动词强调的是提供例子的动作。 在研究中,我们可能会寻找能够证明某事为真的例子,这时可以用 "find examples"。例如,"I found many examples of this problem in the data." 此外,我们可以将某事物作为例子来解释某个概念,例如,"We can take this song as an example of traditional music." 这表示选择某事物作为代表性的例子。 在论证中,我们经常会引用例子来支持我们的观点。"Cite examples" 指的是引用例子来支持论点,例如,"I can cite all of them to show why we're losing money." 而 "draw from examples" 则表示从一系列例子中得出结论,例如,"I've drawn from a range of examples to show why this is a problem." 这些动词强调的是例子在论证中的作用。 总而言之,选择哪个动词取决于你想表达的具体含义和语境。 "Give" 和 "provide" 强调提供例子的动作,"find" 强调寻找例子的过程,"cite" 和 "draw from" 则强调例子在论证中的作用。
