Usage of "Which"
“Which”の使い方について
◎ Which: Which is used to introduce non-restrictive information or it is used to provide additional information about something.
Example: Recombinant genomes, which express chloramphenicol acetyltransferase in mammalian cells, are infectious in 293 cells.
In this example, the which clause merely gives additional information about recombinant genomes; which clauses are usually set off by commas.

校正者からのちょっとしたヒント
“Especially,” “For example/instance,” and “Such as”
上手にものを書く人は、例示という手段をとることで自分の考えを分かりやすく、実際に即した形で、包括的に伝えています。いい例に欠けていると複雑な理論だけ与えられその適用方法が分からないと感じる読み手もすくなくありません。ただし、例示をする際のフレーズが正しくないとこれも考えを伝えるうえで問題となります。
以下のフレーズはどれも例示に際してよく使われます。
○ For example
○ For instance
○ such as
In addition to the abovementioned phrases, the term “especially” is used incorrectly to introduce examples.
For Example/Instance
どちらも同じ意味で使われます。おもに次の３つの状況で使用されます。
[1] 文頭に来て例示をする
Car prices can differ a lot. For example, in Germany Opel Combo costs $ 2000 less than in Turkey.
[2] 一般的なトピックにおいて特に一つの例を強調して述べる
注意!
この用法ではfor example/for instanceは文の主語と動詞の間にコンマで挟まれて挿入されます。
Many countries, for example Mexico and Japan, have a lot of earthquakes.
[3] 文の途中でいくつか例を示す
There are several programs for preschool children, for example Sesame Street and Tarchın and his friends…
Such As
このフレーズを使用する場合は文頭に置くのは間違いです。
Incorrect: Many vegetables may not be as healthy as we think. Such as spinach can inhibit calcium absorption.
このように言いたい場合は“such as”ではなく“for example/instance”を使用します。
Correct: Many vegetables may not be as healthy as we think. For example, spinach can inhibit calcium absorption.
注意!
前置詞であることから、前置詞の後に続くことができない単語はこの後に来ることができません。
以下は具体的な例です:
▪ 名詞句
...such as dogs and cats.
...such as heart disease and diabetes.
▪ 疑問文
...questions such as "Who did it?" (Direct question)
... questions such as how to choose a college. (Indirect question)
▪ 動詞のing形
...such as being on time.
...such as voting in local elections
注意!
such asの同意語としてlikeがありますがアカデミックな文書では避けるべきです。
Especially
このフレーズは使い方を間違えると情報がばらばらになってしまいます。
例:
Incorrect: I struggled in many of my classes. Especially calculus was hard for me.
Especiallyは独立した節の前にくることはできません。
Correct: I struggled in many of my classes, especially in calculus class.
注意!
このフレーズの後に続く例
▪ 前置詞句
I struggled in many of my classes, especially in calculus class.
▪ 名詞句
Some vegetables, especially spinach, can inhibit calcium absorption.
▪ 形容詞
He was especially good at preparing desserts.
▪ 形容動詞句
She was eventually forgiven, especially since she had apologized so
quickly.
