The Function of Parentheses in English
1. Mark words or phrases: Parentheses can be used to mark key words or phrases in sentences to emphasize their importance. For example, "We should eat more vegetables [especially green vegetables] to keep healthy." In this sentence, the words in brackets emphasize the importance of vegetables and make readers pay more attention.
2. Explain words or phrases: Parentheses can be used to explain some words or phrases in a sentence to help readers better understand the meaning of the sentence. For example, "Xiaoming likes reading all kinds of books [including novels, history, science, etc.]. In this sentence, the words in brackets explain the specific scope of "various types of books" and help readers better understand the meaning of the sentence.
3. Guiding thinking or supplementary information: Parentheses can be used to guide readers to think or provide supplementary information to help readers better understand and master relevant knowledge or information. For example, "If you want to learn English well [especially oral English], you need to listen, speak and practice more." In this sentence, the words in brackets guide readers to think about how to learn spoken English well, and provide useful learning suggestions and supplementary information.
