连词and 用法方方面面

1. 基本义为“和”“又”“而且”等,但它有时还可表示对比或转折,相当于汉语的“而”“但”“却”。如:

She’s a bank manager and I’m just a road-sweeper. 她是银行经理,而我不过是个扫街的。

I’ve read Tony’s book and I don’t understand it. 我读过托尼的书,但我不懂。

He hasn’t had anything published and he calls himself a writer! 他什么都没发表过,却自称作家!

2. 有时用于连接两个相同的词语,主要有以下用法:

(1) 连接两个相同的比较级,表示“越来越……”。如:

The weather is getting colder and colder. 天气越来越冷了。

Your English is getting better and better. 你的英语越来越好了。

Computers are becoming more and more complicated. 计算机变得越来越复杂。

(2) 连接两个相同的动词,表示动作的反复或连续。如:

He coughed and coughed. 他咳个不停。

He tried and tried but without success. 他试了又试却未成功。

(3) 连接两个相同的副词,也表示动作的反复或连续。如:

He kept moaning on and on. 他呻吟不已。

(4) 连接两个相同的名词,有以下两种主要用法:

①表示“许多”。如:

They talked for hours and hours. 他们谈了很长很长时间。

The road went on for miles and miles. 这条路很长很长。

②强调差别,意为“与……不同”。如:

Don’t worry there are rules and rules. 别担心——规则跟规则不一样。

I like city life but there are cities and cities. 我喜欢城市生活,但城市之间也有差别。

3. 在come和go以动词原形出现时,其后习惯上不跟不定式表示目的,而是用“and+动词原形”表示目的。如:

I must go and help my mother. 我必须去帮助我母亲。

I’ll come and check the accounts. 我将来清理账目。

Go and buy yourself a new pair of shoes. 去给自己买双新鞋吧。

Come and play a game of bridge with us. 来跟我们一起打桥牌吧。

但是,如果go和come不是以动词原形出现,而是以过去式、过去分词、现在分词、动名词等方式出现,则其后应不定式表示目的。如:

I’ve come to collect my book. 我来取我的书。

I’ m thinking of going to look for mushrooms. 我想去采蘑菇。

I didn’t come to talk to Bill; I came to talk to you. 我不是来跟比尔说话的,我是来跟你说话的。

I went to buy a newspaper and lost my place in the queue. 我去买了份报纸,回来就找不到我排队中的位置了。

另外,在come, go 之后的 and 有时可以省略(尤其在美国英语中)。如:

I’ll come (and) see you later. 我晚些时候再来看你。
4. 用在祈使句后,表示结果,意为“那么”(暗示一种条件)。如:

Work hard and you’ll pass the examinations (=If you work hard, you’ll pass the examinations). 努力吧,你考试会及格的。

Arrive late once more and you’re fired (=If you arrive late once more, you’re fired). 再迟到一次,就把你开除。

有时也可以不是用于祈使句后表示结果。如:

One more step and I will fire. 你再动一步,我就要开枪了。

5. 用在 good, nice, fine 等之后,表示“很”“挺”。如:

I won’t go until I’m good and ready. 我完全准备好了才去。

Make sure you cut the bread nice and thick. 你一定要把面包片切得厚厚的。

6. 在主从复合句中,不要在主句前误加 and。如:

误:If you use mirrors, and you can see the back of your head.

正:If you use mirrors, you can see the back of your head.

7. 某些用 and 连接的两个词,与汉语顺序相反,不要按汉语词序颠倒过来。如:

rich and poor 贫富          land and water 水陆

right and left 左右           north and south 南北

food and drink 饮食      food and clothing 衣食

8. 比较以下各组句子有无连词 and 的差别:
