寫文章或者口說常常要表述兩個不同的立場。就需要使用轉折詞。喬今天整理12個轉折詞，幫助同學表達思緒更清晰。
☛ By contrast = In contrast = In comparison 比較起來
the act of comparing in order to show differences
例：People usually travel in Summer. By contrast (= In contrast), they barely in Winter.
（人們總是在夏天旅行。比較來說，他們幾乎不在冬天(旅行)。）
☛ On the one hand... On the other hand 一方面、另一方面 (比較兩個不同的表述)
used when you are comparing two different facts or two opposite ways of thinking about a situation
例：On the one hand, I’d like a job that pays more; on the other hand, I enjoy my current job at the moment.
（一方面我想要更高薪的工作，但另一方面我又享受現在的工作。）
☛ Yet 然而、儘管
despite that; used to add something that seems surprising because of what you have just said
例：Ray is an indifferent man. Yet somehow he is nice to Joseph.
（瑞是個冷漠的男人。但他不知為何對喬瑟夫很好。）
☛ On the contrary 正好相反、恰恰相反
used to show that you think or feel the opposite of what has just been stated
例：Frank is not as nice as what everybody told me. On the contrary, he is sly and selfish.
（法蘭克並不像每個人跟我說的一樣好。正好相反，他狡猾又自私。）
☛ Although = Though 雖然、僅管
but
例：Although Sophie has been working for only 2 years, she is now handling several key projects.
（儘管蘇菲目前只工作了兩年，她已經負責了許多重要的案子。）
☛ Instead 作為替代
in place of someone or something
例：Jade did not join any top company after graduation. Instead, she created her own business.
（裘德在畢業後並未加入頂尖公司，她創造了自己的事業。）
☛ Despite = In spite of = Notwithstanding 不管、僅管、無論
without taking any notice of or being influenced by; not prevented by
例：Despite the weather, Max still enjoyed the week.
