therefore: stresses the logically deduced conclusion that it introduces: it was raining hard and ~ we stayed inside. deduce推论推断演绎to form an opinion about something based on information available,如Alison had cleverly deduced that I was the author艾莉森已经聪明地推断出我是作者
hence: though often interchangeable with therefore, is more likely to stress the importance of what precedes: a meal badly overcooked and ~ inedible. 不可食用
consequently: tends to suggest good and reasonable grounds or a strong logical possibility: he said he would come; ~ we will wait for him.
then: when used to indicate logical sequence, is employed chiefly in the consequent clause or conclusion in a conditional sentence: if A and B are mutually exclusive possibilities and A is true, ~ B is false.
accordingly: usually indicates logical or casual sequence but connotes naturalness or usualness in the consequence rather than necessity or inevitability: knew where the edges of the driveway were and plowed the snow ~. 铲雪,plow本义犁地翻土
therefore所以: 强调结论符合逻辑,hence因此: 比therefore更强调原因的重要,consequently所以: 同样表示符合逻辑(good reasonable grounds, strong logical possibility),then那么: 这里表示逻辑顺序,引出(条件复合句中的)结果状语从句,即结论,accordingly相应的: 强调自然通常的逻辑关系,不像前几个词那样强调必然必须
记忆方法:1)首字母记忆THAT Conclusion那个结论<==因此
2)分别强调逻辑演绎,重要原因,有力依据很有可能,从句中使用,自然通常
3)因此的意思是作为结果mean as a result or concomitant. concomitant相伴的伴随的作为结果的=happening at the same time,如a concomitant increase随之增长,a concomitant of a free press新闻自由的产物
