並列句是兩個 由連詞連接在一起形成的句子,如果我們漢語中的雖然...但是..., 不僅...而且..等。
這是我關於英語句式的拼圖的最後一塊了。
並列句有如下幾種
並列關係
and
I gave her a gift and she liked it very much. 我給了她一件禮物,她很喜歡。
both... and ...
Both the earth and the moon are planets. 地球和月亮都是行星。
as well as
I like you as well as her. 我不但喜歡你,也喜歡她。
not only..but also...
He not only wants to be good in studying, but also in physical excise. 他不但想學習還,還想體育好。
neither...nor...
I love neither you nor her. 我不愛你,也不愛他。
轉折關係
but
You are not the right person for her, but I am.
however
However you are stronger, I can knock you down. 雖然你更壯實,我能把你打倒。
while
I like the songs of Lady Gaga, while you hate hers.
yet
I eat much, yet I am still thin. 我吃很多,但我很瘦
but語氣強,however語氣弱,while表對比,yet表出乎意料的結果
選擇關係
or
Who do you like the most, her or me?你最喜歡誰,我還是她?
either...or...
Either you or I must quit. 你和我必須有一個人辭職
Either you or I am going to have dinner with her tomorrow. 你和我將有個人明天和她一起吃晚飯。
He is either drunk or mad. 他要麼喝蒙了,要麼瘋了。
not...but....
I love you not because you are beautiful but because you are considerate. I喜歡你,不是因為你漂亮,而是因為你體貼。
He is not a hero, but a tyrant. 他不是一個英雄,而是一個暴君。
or else
用於表示一些事沒做的話後果會怎麼樣:You have to leave or else you will be arrested for trespassing. 你必須離開,否則你會因為非法進入被逮捕。
用於表示另一種可能: He either thinks he is not good enough for you or else he just isn't interested in you. 他要麼認為自己不夠優秀,要麼是對你沒興趣。
因果關係
for 表推斷的原因,不能回答because
They all like me, for I am easy going. 可能因為我脾氣好,他們都喜歡我。
since 既然,雙方周知的理由
Since the weather is cold, we should sweaters. 既然天氣冷了,我們該穿毛衣。
therefore
I think, therefore I am. 我思故我在。
He is only 15 and therefore not eligible to be a worker. 他才15歲,所以不能成為工人。
because 直接原因
I like you because you are considerate.
so/so that
I like you, so that I will be there for you. 我喜歡你,所以我會一直在你身邊
實例分析
上圖便是一個由三個連詞連在一起的並列句,其中的一個複合句和兩個簡單句分別是:
When we arrived in London it was sunny. ——一個狀語從句, 意思是當我們抵達倫敦時,天是晴朗的
All the street were wet. 主系表結構的簡單句,意思是街道都溼了。
It had probably been raining. 時態是過去完成進行時,表示從過去某個時間點到我們抵達倫敦的時候,倫敦一直在下雨。
連詞有兩個,but和so,分別表示轉折關係和因果關係
所以,全句的意思是,當我們抵達倫敦時,天是晴朗的,但是街道都是溼的,所以,在我們抵達倫敦前一段時間,倫敦應該在下雨。
