圈养by阿豆阅读:for example 和for instence有区别吗？可以举几个例子？

for example是英式英语，for instance是美式英语
就像lawyer和attorney都是律师，但前者英式后者美式一个道理。
都可以做书面语的，而口语中更多的是for example

instence应为instance

for example=for instance
作“例如”讲时，一般只以同类事物或人中的“一个”为例，作插入语，用逗号隔开，可置于句首、句中或句末。

For example，air is invisible. 例如，空气是看不见的。
He，for example，is a good student. 例如，他就是个好学生。
For instance, one of our cargo ships sank last week in typhoon.
例如，我们的一艘货轮上星期在台风中沉了。

目前有两种看法，一是认为两者有些微区别：For example是用作正式的，写作上的用法。For instance是用作口语。

另一种认为是完全没有区别。

认为二者有不同的举例为："I wish they would put in more stoplights at the big intersections. For instance, the one at Brandon and Kerr is really dangerous."

Of course you could say "for example" in that example and it would be fine but I believe that for instance would be used in speech and for example is used in written form, especially in formal papers.

后者举例为
1) There are a number of rules you must abide by. For instance, you may not use the swimming pool unsupervised.'
2) 'You have all made silly mistakes on this trip. John, for example, failed to secure the boat properly and Adam took the jet ski out when the sea was far too rough.'

我认为，二者有些微差别比较准确。至少是for example 用得更多。
