such as和etc.的用法

  • such as相當於for example,後面接一部分列舉對象;而etc.用於句尾,相當於and so on,中文裡也常在句尾加個「等」,不過在中文裡很多時候即便把所有對象列舉出來,後面仍然習慣性地加一個「等」字。

such as和etc.這兩個詞不能同時使用:

  • 錯誤 Studies of methodology and process of implementing remanufacturing mainly focus on durable products such as automobile motors, printers, etc.
  • 正確 Studies of methodology and process of implementing remanufacturing mainly focus on durable products such as automobile motors and printers.

etc.在句尾時不用再加句號了:

  • 錯誤 The patients were treated with chymotrypsin, gentamicin, dexamethasone, etc..
  • 正確 The patients were treated with chymotrypsin, gentamicin, dexamethasone, etc.

etc.前不用加and:

  • 錯誤 The patients were treated with chymotrypsin, gentamicin, dexamethasone, and etc.
  • 正確 The patients were treated with chymotrypsin, gentamicin, dexamethasone, etc.

such as後面只能跟部分列舉對象,而不應該是全部對象。

  • 錯誤 Compared with traditional industry, Micro-electronic fabrication has three characteristics such as high complexity, high precision and high automation.
  • 正確 Compared with traditional industry, Micro-electronic fabrication has three characteristics: high complexity, high precision and high automation.

including和such as的使用方法類似,後面只能跟部分列舉對象,而不是全部對象。
