并列句
特点:并列句有两个或两个以上的主谓结构。这些主谓结构之间的关系是并列的、对等的。从语法上讲,所谓“并列”、“对等”是指任何一个主谓结构都能独立地表达意思,谁也不从属于谁。尽管如此,这些主谓结构在意思上或逻辑上有一定程度的内在联系。通过并列连词使两个或几个主谓结构的分句连接在一起。并列连词用来连接平行对等的分句。
按照并列连词的不同意思,并列句有以下几种:
1) 表示转折意思:but, yet, however, nevertheless
例:John has his shortcomings; however, that doesn’t mean he is not qualified for the job. 约翰有缺点,但这不等于说他不胜任这份工作。
The food was good, but he had little appetite. 食物很精美,但他却没什么胃口。
2) 表示因果关系:or, so, therefore, hence
例:Hurry up, or you will be late. 快点,要不你就迟到了。
The town was built on the side of a hill, hence it’s named Hillside.
这个小镇建在山旁,所以叫“山旁”。
3) 表示并列关系:and, or, either…or, neither…nor, not only…but(also), both…and, as well as
She came to my house yesterday evening, and I went to hers.
昨晚她来我家了,我却去她家了。
Either you tell him the truth, or I do it. 不是你告诉他事实,就是我来告诉。
小结:解决并列句的最佳办法是在句中找到并列连词,然后在去找到并列连词连接的前后两个句子的主干。
