在文章中看得最多的情况就是 ' (SivD
1) 主谓分隔：Rose, a young American poet, is brilliant. (被同位语隔开) c^cr_ i
Susan, I suppose, finds the right way to go.(被插入语隔开) AyW= .

另外，这种情况在翻译真题出的频率也很高：Whorf came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism which, in its strongest form, states that language imprisons the mind.在这里in its strongest form这个介词短语讲定于从句的引导词与定从隔开了。 =c$x xEDD

第一从词的层面比如副词：consequently, however,等。This view, however, seems to be wrong. }D?qj3?bj
第二个层面短语 #qUGc`
如不定式短语to tell you the truth, to be frank等，或者for example也是 x%O6/rl
Mr. McWhorter’s academic specialty is language history and change, he sees the gradual disappear of “whom”, for example, to be natural……这个地方for example 所处的位置阻碍了同学们对于这个宾语和宾补的理解，增加了该句的难度，而这一点往往是考研的重点。 lFduX D
第三个层面就是句子层面了，比如as we know it, what we call it Q&+)Kp]A
