二、内容简述
(一)定义
英语中用来连接句子成分或不同句子的词语叫作连词(Conjunctions)。
英语中的连词主要分为并列连词(Coordinating conjunctions)和从属连词(Subordinating conjunctions)。但是,在英语的并列连词中,还有一类成对使用的特殊连词叫作关联连词(Correlative conjunctions)。
(二)并列列词
常见的并列连词主要有:for(因为), and(而且), nor(也不), but(但是), or(或者;否则), yet(然而), so(因此),可以通过fanboys来识记这些连词,因为这些连词的首字母刚好可以组成单词fanboys(粉宝们)。此外,当while表“然而”时,也是用作并列连词。如:
I will get financial aid for college, for I applied on the first
day.
I went to the station and waited for half an hour.
Worms cannot swim, nor can they walk.
I can understand everything but I can't speak very well.
We can watch a movie or have dinner outside.
Fred is very good at math, yet he is majoring in biology.
She loved flying, so she flew as much as she could.
在英语中还有一些成对使用的并列连词,叫作关联连词,主要有:both...and..., either...or..., neither...nor..., not only..., but also...。如:
Both Mia and Katie are coming.
Neither my parents nor my friend approves my work.
You either come with us or I will punish you.
She is not only beautiful but also very intelligent.
(三)从属连词
英语中用来连接从句的连词叫作从属连词,根据主从句的逻辑关系不同,从属连词可表达时间、地点、原因、结果、目的、比较、方式、条件和让步等关系,如:
After she (had) made a phone call, she left home. (时间)
He follows me wherever I go. (地点)
Because she was tired, she went straight to the bed. (原因)
She is such a lovely girl that everyone likes her very much. (结果)
I want to improve my English so that I can communicate better. (目的)
She runs much faster than Jane. (比较)
I will cook the fish as you have told me. (方式)
I will help you as long as you don't disappoint me. (条件)
Although it was raining, she went out for a walk. (让步)
