怎样讲英语连词成句
学习利用连词扩充句子的长度与内容现在,我们已经清楚了解了单句结构,并且可以用语法知识自行造句,接着我们就开始学连词,以延伸或扩展句子的内容。
中文句子可允许双连词的存在,如下例:
由于现在正在下雨,所以我们只好待在家里。
然而在英语句子结构中,两句只能使用一个连词,所以我们不能说:
Because/As/Since it is raining now, so we have to stay home.(X)
因此,如果句首已经有 Because、As 或 Since(均表“由于”或“因为”),连词 so 就应删除,反之亦然:
Because/As/Since it is raining now, we have to stay home.
(因为现在正下着雨,我们不得不待在家里。)
It is raining now, so we have to stay home.
(现在正在下雨,因此我们不得不待在家里。)
同理:连词 although(虽然)、even though(虽然)、though(虽然)、even if(即使)、 but(但是)也不能并存,否则会造成双重连接的错误句构,请参看下例:
Although Mary is pretty, but there is no chemistry between us.(X,Although与 but 不应并存)
应改为:
Although Mary is pretty, there is no chemistry between us.(虽然玛丽很美,我俩却没缘分。)
= Mary is pretty, but there is no chemistry between us.
(玛丽很美,不过我俩却没缘分。)
注意:英语中有下列所谓的连词性副词,这些副词有连词的意味,却仍是副词而非连词,所以使用时副词后应加逗号,并以分号或句号连接两个句子:
(a) 有连词 but 意思的连词性副词:
however(然而)、 nonetheless(然而)
(b) 有连词 so 意思的连词性副词或副词词组:
therefore(因此)、consequently(因此)、as a consequence(因此)、as a result(因此)
(c) 有连词 and 意思的连词性副词或副词词组:
moreover(此外)、furthermore(此外)、in addition(此外)、besides(此外)
The job is difficult, but you should at least give it a try.
= The job is difficult; however, you should at least give it a try.
= The job is difficult; nonetheless, you should at least give it a try.
= The job is difficult. However, you should at least give it a try.
= The job is difficult. Nonetheless, you should at least give it a try.
(这工作很困难,不过你至少应试试看。)
John studied very hard, so he passed the test.
= John studied very hard; therefore, he passed the test.
= John studied very hard; consequently, he passed the test.
= John studied very hard; as a consequence / in consequence, he passed the test.
= John studied very hard; as a result, he passed the test.
(约翰很用功,因此他考试及格了。)
Mary sings well, and she is good at playing the piano.
= Mary sings well; moreover, she is good at playing the piano.
= Mary sings well; furthermore, she is good at playing the piano.
= Mary sings well; in addition, she is good at playing the piano.
= Mary sings well; on top of that, she is good at playing the piano.
(玛丽歌唱得很好,而且她也弹得一手好钢琴。)
Stay away from Paul. He is selfish, and he tends to lie.
= Stay away from Paul. He is selfish; besides, he tends to lie.
(远离保罗。他为人自私,而且他也爱说谎。)
由上得知,我们可借助连词或连接性副词将句子延伸,增加句子的内容,同时也可以奠定写长文的基础。语法学到这个地步我就开始进入每天写日记的阶段,把每天学到的单词、例句及造句的基本语法知识加以结合,再用写日记的形式表现出来。
