看了一下网友提到的前面那个问题,是新来的大佬周老师给出的解答,已经非常到位了。但网友还想要相关的依据,我给你找了一个。
以下截图摘自Arley Gray和Della Summers主编的《朗文英汉双解词典》的附录:
thus 用于句首后面没有逗号的用例确实也常常可见,除周老师提供的《朗文》例句外,我再补充几句:
1. All vaccines carry some risk of side effects. Thus emergency equipment and appropriate drugs should be available at all immunization sessions. 所有疫苗都存在一定的副作用风险。因此,所有免疫接种点都应配备急救设备和相应的药品。(摘自Longman Dictionary of Common Errors的thus词条)
2. The dinosaurs all died out within a short period of time. Thus it seems likely that there must have been some kind of catastrophic event. 恐龙都在很短的时间内灭绝了。因此,似乎很可能发生过某种灾难性事件。(摘自Longman Dictionary of American English)
3. The second millennium did not commence until January 1,1001. Thus the second thousand years does not finish until December 31,2000. 公元的第二个千年到了1001年1月1日才开始计算。所以,第二个千年要等到2000年12月31日才算结束。(摘自Collins COBUILD English Guides: 9. Linking Words)
