And 用法中几个值得注意的问题
1、and 连接两个动词,有时后面动词的行为是前面动词的行为对象或目的,译成汉语时可以连着翻译。但有时and前面的部分用来表示条件。例:Tryanddo it again. 再做做看。(行为对象)Please sendandfetch the mini-camera. 请派人把小型照相机拿来。(行为目的)Let us goandtry it again. 让我们再去试试。(行为目的)Try againand youwill succeed. 再试一次,你就会成功。(条件)
2、an蟠校盯昂d 所连接的并列关系及判别例:It is impossible to live in societya荏鱿胫协ndbe independent of society. 生于社会,不能超乎(或脱离)社会。(and连接两个不定式。)Everywhere you can find new types of menandobjects in the hometown. 在故乡,新人新事比比皆是。(and连接两个名词 men 和 objects。)This crude oil is a complex mixture of gaseousandliquid saturatedandunsaturated molecules. 这种原油系气态、液态饱和分子和气态、液态非饱和分子所构成的混合物。Rubber gets warmer when stretchedandcools when relaxed. 橡皮(被)拉伸时发热,而放松时变凉。(and连接两个谓语 gets 和 cools。)
3、用 and 来重叠词的用法I. 用 and 重叠比较级来表示“越来越……”之意:例:In spring the day is gettinglonger and longerand the night (is getting)shorter and shorter. 春季白天越来越长,夜晚越来越短。II. 用 and 重叠词来表示强调和延续之意:例:What we want,first and foremost, isto learn, to learn and to learn. 我们首先需要的是学习、学习、再学习。
4、注意 and 可使句子成分大为省略例:The best conductor has the least resistance,andthe poorest (conductor has) the greatest (resistance). 最好的导体电阻最小,而最差的导体电阻最大。All bodies consist of moleculesandthese (molecules consist) of atoms. 一切物体都由分子组成,而分子由原子组成。
5、注意 and 前的省略情况,一般以“名词 + and…”结构出现例:Another hour,andall the doors will be locked. 再过一小时,所有门都要上锁。(Another hour, and… = When another hour has passed…)One more effort, andwe shall succeed. 再努力一下,我们就会成功。(One more effort, and… = If we make one more effort…. )
6、注意 and 用于加法和一百以上的数字中例:Oneandtwo are(或 make)three. 一加二等于三。one hundredandtwelve pagers. 一百一十二个寻呼机
7、and 用于罗列举例之末,表示“…等”之意时短语汇总例:and so on, and so forth, and others, and the like, and what not 以及 “, etc. ”(但前面不能用 and )等。
