并列结构

一、表示平行、递进关系的连词1.A and B:A和B

And连接两个并列成分。and也常位于句首，使上下文联系更紧密。

The fabric is light and strong.

I like reading and fishing in my spare time.This model of the computer is powerf ul,and the price is competitive.

It was a severe winter.And we had not enough food for ourselves.

2.both A and B:A和B都这一结构是and的强化形式，连接的两个成分必须在结构上等同。不能连接句子。The new tax policy benefits both workers and farmers.

Bothe she and I are interested in English literature.

3.not only…but(also)…不仅……而且……not only…but…as well不仅……而且……也

as well as和…and…as well和

*not only…but(also)…结构侧重在后者，而as well as侧重在前者。

Not only George but also his wife did a lot for us.

It is said that he can fly a plane as well as drive a car.

She can play pop music and classical music as well.

二、表示选择关系的连词

1.neither A nor B:A和B都不

这一结构表示否定意义，若连接两个句子可以采用倒装形式。

Einstein cared for neither money nor fame.You can neither take it out nor photo copy it.*在否定结构中通常用or连接两个并列成分。

You can never take it out or photocopy it.

2.or或者，大约，否则，不然

either…or…或者…….或者……，不是……就是……(either…or…结构是or的强化形式) Do you stay at home alone or go to theatre with me?

You’ll have to wait one or two days before you know the result.

Hurry up,or we’ll be late.

Have one more try,or you won’t be successful.

Either he didn’t speak clearly or you didn’t hear well.

三、表示转折和对比意义的并列连词：but（但是），yet（然而），while（而，却）

等After a busy day,I felt tired but happy.

Difficulties will arise in the course of reforming.But we will certainly overcome t hem.

He was not feeling well,yet he kept on until it was done.

四、表示因果关系的并列连词so（因此，所以），for（因为）

Many directors were absent,so the meeting had to be postponed.

He must have done something wrong,for the head teacher called him to the offi ce.*so不能与because同时出现在同一句中。For从句主要是对前面的句子作出解释或进行推断，因此for引导的句子不能用于句首。

并列结构的标点符号

由两个以上项目构成的并列结构通常只在最后一个项目之前用并列连词，其他项目之间用逗号连接。

There are five types of discharge from military service: honorable, general, undesirable, bad conduct, and dishonorable.

两个以上项目全用连词连接起来的并列结构，在修辞色彩上给人以悠闲缓慢、延续持久的感觉。
