英語並列句詳解

並列句由並列連詞連接、含有兩個或更多主謂結構的句子叫並列句。

一、表示轉折對比關係的並列連詞

但是，可是，而，卻

連接兩個簡單句，有時句中某些詞可以省略;連接兩個並列成分，可以放在一個句子的句首，後面不接逗號。

例：I hope you don't mind me asking,but where did you buy those shoes?

但是;儘管如此

可連接兩個句子，用逗號分開，也可在yet前加and，還可以放在一個句子的句首。

例：The car is old,yet it is in good condition.這輛車舊了，但車況很好。

e而，但是，可是，卻

while作連詞用時，可表示對比或轉折關係。

例：I do every single bit of housework while my husband Bob just does the dishes now and then.

二、表示因果關係的並列連詞

因爲

由並列連詞for引導的分句常置於句子後部,而且常用逗號與前面的分句隔開。for分句主要是對前一分句補充說明理由或推斷原因。for分句不能用來回答why問句。

例：I did my best not to show pleasure,but what I was feeling was pure happiness,for my words had the power to make people laugh.

因此

可以連接兩個句子，中間有時用逗號隔開;也可在so前加and;還可以放在一個句子的句首。

例：The shop doesn't open until 11 a.m.,so it loses a lot of business.

三、表示選擇關係的連詞or

or連接並列成分時，意爲“或者，還是”;用於否定句中，意爲“也不”，這時不宜用and;還有“否則，要不然”之意，相當於otherwise。

例：Would you like a cup of coffee or shall we get down to business right away?

四、表示並列關係的並列連詞

和，同，與，又，並且

例：Stand over there and you'll be able to see it better.

also...不僅……而且

例：Not only I but also Jane and Mary are tired of having one examination after another.

...既不……也不

例：They worked neither for fame nor for personal gains.他們工作一不爲名，二不爲利。

...既……又

例：A man should have both courage and wisdom.人既要有勇氣又要有智慧。

五、其他並列連詞

...不是……而是

It was not the bones of an animal but of a human being.這不是一隻動物的骨頭，而是人的骨頭。

er than而不是;與其……寧願

Rather than ride on a crowded bus,he always prefers to ride a bicycle.

正當那時，相當於and at that time

Jasmine was holidaying with her family in a wildlife park when she was bitten on the leg by a lion。
