在日常交际用语和书面表达中，插入语频频出现。英语中的插
入语（
Parenthesis
）是插在句
子中的一个词，短语或从句，通常被逗号、破折号或句子的其他部分隔开，它与句子的其他部
分之间没有语法上的关系，因此，有的语法学家将其归为独立成分。
插入语在句中通常是对一句话的一些附加解释，说明或总结；
有时表示说话者的态度和看
法；有时起强调的作用；有时是为了引起对方的注意；还可以
起转移话题或说明事由的作用；
也可以承上启下，使句子与前面的语句衔接的更紧密一些
。
插入语大致可分为以下
10
种类型：
1.
形容词或形容词短语作插入语

fortunately, luckily, for us, though, besides,
exactly,
surely, frankly, still
otherwise

key.
你很运气，我正好带了钥匙。
3.
介词短语作插入语
如：
of course, in short, as a
matter of fact, by the way, on the other hand, in
my
opinion, in
conclusion
等。
In short, we should not stop halfway.
简言之，我们不能半途而废。
