and 是最常见的连词,我们都很熟悉,今天分享 and 鲜为人知的4个用法: 1.and 连接两个物品被视为一物或同一人有两种身份时,第二个被连接的词不加冠词。作主语时,谓语动词要求用单数。例如: 1)Spaghetti and meat sauce is a favorite dish with our employees.拌肉酱的通心粉是我们化计们最喜欢的食物。 2)The poet and novelist is his father.那位诗人兼小说家是他爸爸。 2.and 有时连接两个相同的字,多指“渐渐”、“重复”或加强语气。例如: 1)The voice became fainter and fainter.声音变得越来越模糊不清了。 2)They tried and tried, but they did not succeed.他们一试再试,但没有成功。 3.祈使句之后接and 有条件句的作用。例如: Persevere, and you will succeed.假如你坚韧不拔,你一定会成功。 4.形容词+and 可以代替副词使用,作“多么,非常”解。例如: Everyone arrived nice and early. 大家都早早地到了。(nice and=very) It’s nice and warm today.今天很暖和。(nice and=very) I won't go until I'm good and ready. 我要完全准备就绪后才走。(good and = very)
