indeed什么意思

Indeed:

ADV实际上,其实,确切说来

You use indeed to introduce a further comment or statement which strengthens the point you have already made.

We have nothing against diversity; indeed, we want more of it.

我们一点都不抵触多样化;实际上,我们需要多样性更丰富一些。

由此,我们可知indeed从语言的逻辑上来说表达的是递进,也就是说前后是描述相同的内容,indeed后面的内容是对前面内容的加强。

接下来我们看一道英语一完型真题

The homeless make up a growing percentage of America’s population. _____, homelessness has reached such proportions that local governments can’t possibly _____.(2006年)

[A]Indeed [B] likewise [C] therefore [D] furthermore

Furthermore

ADV 而且;此外;再者

Furthermore is used to introduce a piece of information or opinion that adds to or supports the previous one.

I like doing sports; furthermore, I often play basketball on weekend.

我喜欢做运动,此外,我经常在周末打篮球。

由此,我们可知furthermore后面的内容是对前面内容的进一步补充,是一种特殊的并列关系。

从意思上说indeed和furthermore好像都可以入选,但是从语言的逻辑上来区分,indeed前后句子表达的是递进关系,而furthermore,只是并列关系。第二点,indeed描述的是同一事物的同一方面,furthermore可以描述相互关联的不同事物,同一事物的不同方面。
