说明
for example/such as
核心问题
For example, many farms now use computers to control the growing conditions of vegetables and other plants.
for example 和 such as 都译作“例如”，它们有无区别呢？
词典解答
从功能上看, for example 用作插入语, 可以说明任何成分, 而 such as 只能引出同位语, 而且只能是名词性同位语。从语序上看, for example 可位于句首、句中或句末, 而 such as 只能位于它所引出的同位语之前。
