并列结构和并列句
1) 并列结构的类型
两个或两个以上意义相关、层次相同、句法功能也相同,并由并列连词
(coordinator)
或其他并列手段连接起来的语法结构序列叫做”并列结构'
(coordinate
structure)。并列结构分为不同的层次,它可以是词和词的并列:
knife and fork
buy or sell
good but expensive
也可以是词组和词组的并列:
a teacher and a
student
one way
or the other
with strength but
without confidence
也可以是分句和分句的并列:由两个或两个以上并列分句构成的句子叫做并列句
(compound
sentence)。例如:
The teacher's name is
Smith, and the student's
name (is) Keith.
The children can go with us
or they can stay
at home.
This sentence may be
correct grammatically, but a
native speaker never
says it that
way.
Mary is a nurse,
her brother is a
doctor, and her parents are both
famous
writers.
一串平行的句子,不带并列连词,但语义相关,结构相同,也可归入并列句之列。例如:
We were discussing where to
go for the
holiday: some wanted to
go to the seaside; some
liked to visit the
'Sea World'; others
preferred to stay overnight in a
country house.
此类并列结构叫做“不带连词的并列结构' (asyndetic
coordination) ;
那常见的并列结构便叫“带连词的并列结构' (syndetic
coordination)。
2) 并列结构和标点符号
由上述诸例可以看出,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,其他项目之间仅用逗号连接。又例如:
There are five
types of discharge from
military service
(退役): honorable, general,
undesirable, bad conduct,
and dishonorable.
At diploma mills (文凭制造厂) throughout
the states you can buy a bachelor's
degree (学士学位)
for about $1,500, a
master's degree for
$1,600, or a
doctorate for $1,700.
但也有全用连词的,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。例如:
Raising vegetables presents endless
opportunities for weeding and
thinning and hoeing
and watering.
相反地,有时也可全用逗号,这就在修辞色彩上给人以紧张、急促、明快、利落的感觉。例如:
Individuals are less
toubled by feelings
of gu when they share
responsibility for
things with a group
- a street gang, lynch mob
(对黑人施私刑的暴民), terrorist
organization.
有时,在一个句子中有两个并列结构,其一全用逗号,另一全用连词,这样处理是为了达到上述两种修辞效果。例如:
In the country there
are no honking
horns (汽车喇叭声), no
diesel rucks, no
pollution —just the
sounds of wind
rustling the tree leaves and ed
squirrels (松鼠) chattering
in the distant oaks
and cool creek water
rushing down its endless
course.
除了逗号,分号(;)和冒号(:)也能起并列连词的作用
一般说来,用分号连接两个并列分句,通常表示一种对比关系。例如:
Golf demands the best of time and
space; tennis, the best of personal
energy.
After he father's
death, she went out very little;
after her sweetheart went
away, people saw her
hardly at all.
He was caught: behind him was a locked
door in
front of him were the
officers and the dogs.
在某些连接性状语 (Conjunct) accordingly,
furthermore, hence, however, nevertheless,
therefore等之前通常要用分号,而不用逗号,因为这些词项是副词,而不是连词。
例如:
He had worked in the
foreign service for two
years without leave;
hence he was tired almost
beyond endurance.
om a running start Pedro
launched his body into a vigorous
acing dive;
however, he was about
thirty feet from the pool at the
time.
Nations indeed seem to
have a kind of
biological span like human
life, from rebellious youth,
through caution, to decay;
consequently, predictions of
doom are not uncommon.
用冒号连接两个并列分句,通常表示下文是对上文的解释和发挥。
例如:
A house with an aging furnace costs more than the asking
price suggests: ten dollars more a month
in fuel means about eighty dollars more a
year.
Hijackers and kidnappers
offered two
equally impossible alternatives: a refusal to meet
their terms may mean
death for their
victims; meeting their terms may
mean more victims in the
future.
3) 并列结构中的插入语
不论是由两个或两个以上项目构成的并列结构,都可在最后一个项目之前插入一个词语,从而使这个项目处于更加突出的地位。例如:
The conference on
nuclear energy was attended by students from Stanford
and, predictably, teachers
from Berkeley.
Donna was happy
with her achievement but,
after three days of
intense competition, tired
from the
struggle.
Keith spends Saturday night walking
down the street or, when the cops are
after him, running
through alleys.
John Frankenheimer has
directed action movies
(导演动作片) such as
'The Manchurian
Candidate' , 'Seven
Days in May' ,
'G and Prix'
, and, more recently,
'Black Sunday and
Brinks' .
4) 并列结构的对称组合
如果一个并列结构由四个或四个以上项目构成,常用成对组合的办法使整个结构更加紧凑。
例如:
Only a few cities are known as
'good baseball towns' - Cincinnati,
Detroit, Chicago,
Boston, Los
Angeles, and New
York.
上述六个并列项目可以重新组合为三个平行的并列结构:
Only a f
