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)折對比關(guān)系的并列連詞

1. but 但是，可是，而，卻

連接兩個(gè)簡單句，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。

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,而且常用逗號與前面的分句隔開。for分句主要是對前一分句補(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.
