英译连词是指连接单词与单词、词组与词组、句子与句子、从句与主句的词。连词是虚词,不能独立作句子成分。
英语要想学好全靠基础打的牢,连词可以分为并列连词和从属连词,今天介绍三个并列连词and,but和or,不要小看这三个简单的连词,从小学一直高考这三个连词经常出现在试题当中,而且很多同学都是因为对连词的作用没有引起足够的重视,而导致失分,实在是可惜!
连词的作用要分清,如果连接前后两个句子,用不同的连词,前后两个句子的关系也不同,and连接时表示顺呈关系,而用but时表示转折关系。
举例说明,有比较,更有辨别。
1. We are hungry andthirsty. 我们又渴又饿
2. The boy likes music andmovies. 这个男孩喜欢音乐和电影
3. Mom made a salad anda cake.
4. Where are Tom andBetty?
5. I had breakfast and went to school.
6. His father is a driver andhis mother is a nurse.
and在句子中可以连接两个词或两个句子,可以翻译成又,和或者不用翻译
1. Our house is small butnice. 我们的房子虽小,但是很漂亮。
2. It"s a rainy day, butit isn"t cold. 下雨了,但是天不冷。
3. It"s late, butshe is still working. 天晚了,但是她还在工作。
4. They have a new car, butit"s very cheap.
5. They are poor, butthey are happy.
6. The problem is easy,but we do it slowly.
7. The girl stayed with us, butdidn"t speak to us.
but连接句子或单词时,前后语意发生了转折变化,常翻译成但是。
1. Is the television on or off? 开着电视还是关了它。
2. You can go nowor you can wait here. 你现在可以走了,也可以等着。
3. She doesn"tlike music or movies. 她不喜欢音乐,也不喜欢电影
4. They didn"tsing or dance at the party.
5. Do you speak English or Chinese?
6. He doesn"t have a house or a car.
or连接时,前后单词或句子表示并列关系,常翻译成还,也不,也等,另外or经常用在疑问句和否定句中。
总结,and和or表示并列关系,but表示转折关系,or经常用在否定句和疑问句当中,仔细观察,认真总结,不辨不明。
