"namely"是一個連線詞，用於指出前面提到的內容的具體例子或詳細信息。它通常放在逗號後面，後面則不應該直接跟逗號。以下是一些使用"namely"的例子：
Only one person can do the job, namely you.
The means of production, namely factories, mines and land, should be owned by the state.
Three students were mentioned, namely John, Sarah and Sylvia.
在某些特殊情況下，"namely"後面也可能會跟逗號，例如在提出疑問時：
I have a question; namely, should we sell the property or not?
"namely"與"e.g."（for example的縮寫）和"i.e."（that is的縮寫）相似，但"namely"更強調對前面提到的內容的詳細說明或具體化。
