雅思考试想要获得高分,就不能忽视一些小的细节。即使像and这种自学英语时就接触到的词汇,其中许多细小的知识点也要掌握。下面我们来看and的详细用法。
1.连接两个相同的比较级,表示“越来越……”。
如:It moves faster and faster. 它动得越来越快。
Your work is getting better and better. 你的工作干得越来越好了。
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,但没有成功。
3.连接两个相同的名词,表示“许多”或“有各种各样的” (即有好的也有坏的)。
如:They talked for hours and hours. 他们谈了很长时间。
There are books and books. 有各种各样的书(即书有好坏之分)。
4.在口语中用在 come, go, run, stay, stop, try 等之后表示目的(and 在此相当于不定式符号 to)。
如:Come and have a look. 来看一看。
We will try and get one tomorrow. 我们明天设法弄一个来。
We ought to stop and think. 我们应该停下来想一想。
Will you go and fetch me some paper, please? 请你去给我拿点纸来好吗?
以上动词除 try 只能用原形外,其它动词都可有多种形式。
如:正:We stayed and had a drink with him. 我们留下来同他喝 了一杯。
正:We stopped and bought some flowers. 我们停下来买了些花。
误:He tried and finished the work in time.
注: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。
5.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。
6.用在 good, nice, fine 等之后,表示“很”、“挺”。
如:It’s nice and cool under the tree. 这树下很凉快。
The book is nice and expensive. 这本书很贵。
7.在主从复合句中,不要在主句前误加 and。
如:要是下雨,我们就呆在家里。
正:If it rains, we’ll stay at home.
误:If it rains, and we’ll stay at home.
8.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
9.比较以下各组句子有无连词 and 的差别:
如:天气晴朗,我们出去散了步。
正:The weather being fine, we went out for a walk.
正:The weather was fine, and we went out for a walk.
