英语中具有“过渡”功能的单词、词组和句式不在少数,下文的过渡词(组)列表基于“不求多而全,只求方便实用”的宗旨,按其功能分类,以字母顺序先横后纵排列,突出语篇中句子之间、段落之间、观点之间的过渡连接,舍弃了像not only…but also, as well as, in spite of等偏重于单句表达的词汇或短语。

编者后记:
在着手编撰“英语过渡词”这篇帖子之前,我原本只打算把过去从网上收集的一份文档挂上博客,供英语教师平时教学参考选用,后来一时“好事”,访问了一些包括TEFL教学资源的英美网站,发现老外对过渡词(Transition/Transitional Words and Phrases)的理解颇有不同,跟中国教师相比,他们在功能项目和词条的多寡等方面都“望尘莫及”,功能项目的分类标签也存在一些差异。经过一番比对,发觉外教更多地强调过渡词在语篇上的应用,而中国教师则不乏“多多益善”的想法。权衡之下,做了一些增删,于是产生了这个“混血儿”版本的英语过渡词。
事实上,过渡词的是非归属并没有完全统一的划分标准,在教学过程中让学生识记一些过渡词固然重要,但更为重要的是培养学生使用过渡词的意识
