We have received your order and would like to express our appreciation for your business. However, some of the components you selected are out of stock at the moment. _______, your order has been placed on hold, and will be shipped as soon as we are in possession of the CPU chip.
(A) Additionally
(B) Nevertheless
(C) Thus
(D) As a result
答案是 D: As a result. 为什么(C) Thus 不可以选?
我认为,选(C)同样正确。thus 跟as a result 没有什么根本的区别。此题考查这个辨析,实在没有任何意义。请看柯林斯词典对thus的释义:
You use “thus” to show that what you are about to mention is the result or consequence of something else that you have just mentioned.
“你使用thus,是为了说明你要提及的事情是前面已经提到的事情的结果。”
所给句子前后因果关系明确,使用thus 或as a result,都对。
例如:
Neither of them thought of turning on the lunch-time news. Thus Caroline didn't hear of John's death until Peter telephoned...
两个人谁也没有想到打开电视看午间新闻,所以直到彼得打来电话,卡罗琳才得知约翰的死讯。
Even in a highly skilled workforce some people will be more capable and thus better paid than others.
就算是在技术高度熟练的劳动者中,也会有人能力更强,因此,薪水也就更高。
