Andthat(而且)用来补充说明前面的内容以加强语气。其中that代替上文中某个词、短语或句子,以避免重复。有时只用and:Returntoyourwork,andthatatonce.回去干活,马上去!Hewillcome,andthatsoon.……而且马上就来。 表示并列成分都被否定时,在not,nothing,without,never等后宜用or,不用and,因为and连接的并列成分在否定词后有歧义:Hedoesn’thavelonghairorwearjeans.=He…andhedoesn’twear….Hedoesn’thavelonghairandwearjeans.=1)同上。2)Eitherhedoesn’thavelonghairORhedoesn’twearjeans.要么…要么…Shecan’tsingordance.=She…andshe….She…………..and…….=1)….2)Eithershecan’tsingorshecan’tdance. And连接的分句表主从意义。第一分句是第二分句的条件或时间:Gobytrainandyou’llgettherequicker.=Ifyougo…Onemoreeffort,andyou’llsucceed.=Ifyoumake…Onemoreboot,andI’llhaveapair.如并列分句均为祈使句,第一句仍可表条件,第二句表结果:Surrenderandlive;resistanddie.=Ifyousurrender,you’lllive;…Don’tdrinkanddrive.=Ifyoudon’tdrink,youcandrive.Or:Ifyoudrink,youcan’tdrive.不许酒后开车。C.f.Don’tdrinkordrive.=Don’tdrinkanddon’tdrive. 有时用and表示部分否定,即否定其中一个,通常是否定后者:Heisnotateacherandawriter.他是教师,不是作家。Hedidn’tspeakclearlyandcorrectly.他讲得清楚,但不正确。 2)Or-groupcoordinatorsThisgroupincludesorandeither…or,denoting“alternation”.Besides“alternation”,orandeither…orcanalsodenoteanegativecondition.Theuseofeither…or,neither…nor,isdifferentfromthatofboth…and,notonly…butalsointhatthelatermustbefollowedbysimilarconstruction.(Page343)E.g.Notonlydidthegarageoverchargeme,buttheyhadn’tdoneaverygoodrepairjobeither.(句首)Eitherthepresidentwillresignthroughill-health,orhewilldieinoffice.(句首)Hebothlikesfictionandpoetry.(correct)Henotonlylikesfictionbutalsopoetry.(correct) 在否定句中,一般用or不用and连接同等成分。Or一般不表示所择关系:Hehasnomoneyorfood.=Hehasneithermoneynorfood.Ididn’tfindhimcleverorgood-looking.=Ifoundhimneitherclevernor….Asheepwasnotmovingaboutoreatinggrassliketheothers.有一只羊的行动和(?或)吃草的样子跟别的羊不一样。Spidersneverdotheleastharmtousorourbelongs.蜘蛛从不危害我们,也(?或)不危害我们的财物。 3)But-groupcoordinatorsThisgroupincludesbut,not…but,while,whereas,yet,only,etc,denoting“contrast”oraturninmeaning,e.g:Thiscoatisnotminebutyours.Itneverrainsbutitpours. 1.Earlyasitwas,butalotofpeoplewerewaitingtobuynewstampsinfrontofthepostoffice.(correctthemistake)But错。并列连词不可用于as,though,although引导的从属句中。2.MynameisRobert,___mostofmyfriendscallmeBobforshort.A.thenB.insteadC.howeverD.but选D,C是连接副词,在连接分句时,前面用“;”或前后用“,”,but后一般不用逗号。Exercises 3.IneverseeherbutIwanttokissher.(Translation)错:我从未……但我想……正:我没有一次见到她而不想……IneverthinkofsummerbutIthinkofmychildhood.IneverseethepicturebutIthinkofmycollegeyears.上列各句中but是butthat的省略式。它引出的从句带有结果含义,主句总是否定,并含有never,too,so,such等词。换言之,当主句是否定时,but作”without”解,译为“一…就”,“如果不…就不会…”,“除…外,就不…”又如: 4.Nomanistooold__hecanlearn.A.thatB.asC.whenD.butD.人不管多老,都可以学习。IamnotsuchafoolbutthatIunderstandyou.我不至于蠢到连你都不了解。Itneverrainsbutitpours.直译:除了倾盆下外,就总不下雨。/每次下都是倾盆而下。/一下雨就是倾盆大雨。可译为:不雨则己,一雨倾盆。 5.Thereis_wouldbesurprisedatthenews.A.nomanbutwhoB.nomanbutC.nomanD.notanymanB.上句的but是关系代词,相当于that…not,who…not.在从句中充当主语。这种从句除but外不会再有其它主语。又如:There’snoonebutknowsthat.没有人不知道这件事。There’snooneofusbutwishestohelpyou.我们中没有一个人不愿意帮助你。Thereareveryfewbutadmirehistalents.很少有人不敬佩他的才华。Thereisnorulebuthasexceptions.没有无例外的规则。/凡规则都有例外。 6.Itisoneofthosetruesayingsthatthereisnoone__errs.A.thatB.whoC.whatD.but7.Therewasnotasinglepersontherebutwhothoughtyouwereintheright.(改错)8.Withtheintroductionoftheelectroniccomputer,therearenocomplicatedproblems__canbesolved.A.thatB.asC.butD.which 9.翻译Hewasanythingbutahero./Thereisanythingbuteasy.基本用法和意义相同,都强调“某人或某事绝非…”,但1)后跟名词或代词时可有两种译法:”除…外什么都是/行/可以;绝不,根本不,一点儿也不”。2)后跟形容词时则只译“绝不,根本不”。例:Mydoctorwon’tletmedrinkanythingbutchampagne.…只让我喝…“除…外,不让”Thelittlebridgeisanythingbutsafe.…一点也不安全。Heisanythingbutpolite.他没有一点礼貌。Heisanythingbutafool.他绝不是傻瓜。 10.Itisnot“terrible”atall.Itis__“terrible”A,butforB,allbutC,nothingbutD,anythingbut比较:Heisnothingbutafool.他只不过是/仅仅是个傻瓜。Heisallbutafool.Butfor引出的介词短语相当一个非真实条件句,谓语词要用虚拟:ButforJohntheywouldallhavedied.Butfor表例外(除…之外)意义与用法近似exceptfor,但不及它普通。 1.连接主语alongwith,togetherwith,asmuchas,aswellas,and:Ann,asmuchasherbrothers,wastoblame.Theocean,aswellasthegulf,providesgoodfishing.Theambassador,andperhapshiswifetoo,islikelytobepresent.Catty,andnobodyelse,isabletodothejob.2.连接主语以外的成份:Aswellas(并列连词或介词)Aswellasbreakinghisleg,hehurthisarm.(介)Sheiscleveraswellasbeautiful.AaswellasB侧重点常在A(notonlyAbutalsoB侧重点在B)。A往往当作新信息加以强调。一般译为“不仅B,而且A;既B又A;A和B一样也…;除B外还有A”:I’maChinese,butIhaveforeignfriendsaswellasChinesefriends.(如对调则强调不对)Quasi-coordination准并列 Noticethataforcehasdirectionaswellasmagnitude.要注意,力不但有大小,而且有方向。Electricenergycanbechangedintolightenergyaswellasintosoundenergy.电能既可变为声能,又可变为光能。HooverwantedmenwhocouldhandleateacupaswellasaTommy-gun.胡佛需要既会使用自动步枪又懂社交礼仪的人。跟and,or一样,连接的成分要对等:Thomaswasarealfriend,forheadvisedmeaswellashelp(ing)mewithmyArabic.? 在现代英语里,aswellas有时也表达A和B同等重要,相当于and,andalso:Youhelpedhimaswellasme.=…both…可见,这个结构究竟在语意上强调A还是表示A,B同等重要,需对上下文进行具体分析才能确定。Aswellas还可作比较结构,意为“跟..一样好”:HespeaksEnglishaswellashisteacher.IlikeJoeaswellasJack.可有三解:1)我跟Jack一样地喜欢Joe.关联从属连词,asJack(likes).2)我喜欢Joe,同样喜欢Jack.从属连词,as从句省略Ilike.3)我不仅喜欢Jack,也喜欢Joe.准并列连词。 Ratherthan(从属连词、介词、或并列连词),相当于andnot或insteadof:Shetelephonedratherthanwrite从属/writing介词/wrote并列.用作从属连词或介词时,如果强调,其前可带逗号:Weoughttocheckup,ratherthanjustaccept/acceptingwhathesays.Ifnot和nottosay(=ifonemaynotsay)与只能引导名词词组的nottomention/nottospeakof/tosaynothingof意义不同:Itwouldbefoolish,ifnot/nottosaymad,tosellyourcar.不然的话,否则/虽说不上Hehasexperience,tosaynothingof/nottomentionscholarship.(更)不用说,当然HecanspeakGermanandFrench,nottospeakof/tosaynothingofEnglish. Stillless(=muchless),stillmore(=muchmore):Idon’tlikehim,stilllessrespecthim.Ilikemusic,stillmore(muchmore)dancing..Morexthany=xratherthany:Iwasmoreangrythanfrightened.Heismoredeadthanalive.(=Heisdeadratherthanalive.)

那是最美好的时代,那是最糟糕的时代;那是智慧的年头,那是愚昧的年头;那是信仰的时期,那是怀疑的时期;那是光明的季节,那是黑暗的季节;那是希望的春天,那是失望的冬天;我们拥有一切,我们一无所有;我们全部在直奔天堂,我们全都在直奔相反的方向--简而言之,那时跟现在非常相象,某些最喧嚣的权威坚持要用形容词的最高级来形容它。说它好,是最高级的;说它不好,也是最高级的。 孙法理译 这是最好的年代,也是最坏的年代;这是智慧的时刻,也是愚蠢的时刻;这是信任的时代,也是怀疑的时代;这是光明的季节,也是黑暗的季节;这是希望的春天,也是失望的冬天;我们前方光芒万丈,却又感到希望渺茫;我们一起奔向天堂,却又在歧路不断彷徨。。。。——双城记 前言
