由并列連詞連接、含有兩個(gè)或更多主謂結(jié)構(gòu)的句子叫并列句。

一、表示轉(zhuǎn)折對(duì)比關(guān)系的并列連詞

1. but 但是,可是,而,卻

連接兩個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句,有時(shí)句中某些詞可以省略;連接兩個(gè)并列成分,可以放在一個(gè)句子的句首,后面不接逗號(hào)。

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

2. yet 但是;盡管如此

可連接兩個(gè)句子,用逗號(hào)分開,也可在yet前加and,還可以放在一個(gè)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。

3. while 而,但是,可是,卻

while作連詞用時(shí),可表示對(duì)比或轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

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(guān)系的并列連詞

1. for 因?yàn)?/p>

由并列連詞for引導(dǎo)的分句常置于句子后部,而且常用逗號(hào)與前面的分句隔開。for分句主要是對(duì)前一分句補(bǔ)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.

2. so 因此

可以連接兩個(gè)句子,中間有時(shí)用逗號(hào)隔開;也可在so前加and;還可以放在一個(gè)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(guān)系的連詞or

or連接并列成分時(shí),意為“或者,還是”;用于否定句中,意為“也不”,這時(shí)不宜用and;還有“否則,要不然”之意,相當(dāng)于otherwise。

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

四、表示并列關(guān)系的并列連詞

1. and 和,同,與,又,并且

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

2. not only... but also... 不僅……而且

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

3. neither... nor... 既不……也不

例:They worked neither for fame nor for personal gains. 他們工作一不為名,二不為利。

4. both... and... 既……又

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

五、其他并列連詞

1. not... but... 不是……而是

It was not the bones of an animal but of a human being. 這不是一只動(dòng)物的骨頭,而是人的骨頭。

2. rather than 而不是;與其……寧愿

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

3. when 正當(dāng)那時(shí),相當(dāng)于and at that time

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