【英語語法分類彙總】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
1. but 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?
2. yet 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。
3. while 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
1. for 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.
2. so 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
1. and 和,同,與,又,並且
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. 他們工作一不爲名,二不爲利。
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、其他並列連詞

2. rather than 而不是;與其……寧願

3. when 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.
