并列句中的分句通常用一个并列连词来连接,其中的各分句意义同等重要,联系密切,无从属关系.使用时要特别注意其连词特性.

　　1.由and,notonly...but(also)...,neither,nor,neither...nor...等词连接的并列句,在意义上主要对前一句作补充或引伸,包括肯定和否定两方面意义.

　　1)and连接并列句表示意义的增补、动作的先后、条件和结果等.例如:

　　OnedayJohnwaslate,andhisteacherwasangry.

　　Thecarbrokedownhalfway,andtheyhadtostayinasmallinnforthenight.

　　Thinkitover,andyou'llfindawayout.

　　2)notonly...but(also)...表示"不但……而且",重点强调的是后一部分.例如:

　　Notonlyishehimselfinterestedinthesubject,butalsohisstudentsbegantoshowinterestinit.

　　Notonlyisyouranswerright,butminealsois.

　　3)neither...nor...,nor,neither等表示否定意义的引伸,放在句首要倒装.例如:

　　Neitherdoesheworkhard,nordoeshisbrother.Mr.Wangdoesn'tsmoke,neither/nordoesLiPing.

　　2.or,either...or...连接并列句表示选择意义.

　　1)or常表示选择、换个说法、否定条件等意义.例如:

　　Thechildrencangowithus,ortheycanstayin.(选择)

　　Theworkerswerecheerful,oratleasttheyappearedtobecheerful.(换个说法)

　　Becareful,oryouwillbreakyourneck.(否定条件.)

　　注意:or用于表示否定条件时,可以和else连用,或换成otherwise.例如:

　　Hurryup,orelse/otherwise/oryouwillbelate.

　　2)either...or...连接句子时,选择意义比or强.例如:

　　Eitheryouaremad,orIam.

　　并列连词引导两个并列的句子.1)and与or判断改错：(错)Theysatdownandtalkaboutsomething.(错)Theystartedtodanceandsang.(错)Isawtwomensittingbehindandwhisperthere.(对)Theysatdownandtalkedaboutsomething.(对)Theystartedtodanceandsing.(对)Isawtwomensittingbehindandwhisperingthere.解析：第一句：and连接两个并列的谓语,所以talk应改为talked.第二句：and连接两个并列的动词不定式,第二个不定式往往省略to,因此sang应改为sing.第三句：and连接感观动词saw后面的用作的宾补的两个并列分词结构,因此whisper应改为whispering.注意：and还可以和祈使句或名词词组连用表示条件.（or也有此用法）Makeupyourmind,andyou'llgetthechance.=Ifyoumakeupyourmind,you'llgetthechance.Onemoreeffort,andyou'llsucceed.=Ifyoumakeonemoreeffort,you'llsucceed.2)both…and两者都Sheplays(both)thepianoandtheguitar.3)notonly…but(also),aswellas不但…而且Sheplaysnotonlythepiano,but(also)theguitar.注意：notonly…butalso关联两个分句时,一个分句因有否定词not而必须倒装Notonlydoeshelikereadingstories,butalsohecanevenwritesome.4)neither…nor意思为"既不……也不……"谓语动词采用就近原则,与nor后的词保持一致.Neitheryounorheistoblame.

　　1)or意思为"否则".Imustworkhard,orI'llfailintheexam.我必须努力学习,否则我的考试成绩将要下降.2)either…or意思为"或者……或者……".注意谓语动词采用就近原则.EitheryouorIamright.或者是你对,或者是我对.

　　1)but表示转折,while表示对比.Somepeoplelovecats,whileothershatethem.典型例题---Wouldyouliketocometodinnertonight?---I'dliket
