二、并列句
1. 定义
包含两个或两个以上主谓结构的句子叫并列句,句与句之间通常用并列连词,如and, but, or, so等或分号来连接。例如:
eg. The food was delicious, but he had little appetite this morning.
One of the clock’s hands is short; the other two are long.
2. 并列句的分类
1) 表并列关系,连接词有:and, not only...but also, neither...nor, both...and, not...but…. etc.
I neither knew nor cared what had happened to him.
The new job is not a promotion as such, but it has good prospects.
2) 表转折关系:but, yet, whereas, nevertheless (但是;然而)
Han likes playing basketball, but he didn’t play it yesterday.
Jenny said that she was ill, yet/but/whereas I saw her in the shop just now.
3. 表选择关系:or, otherwise, or else, either...or
Hurry up, or we’ll miss the first train to Shanghai.
-- Either you are mad or I am. --- Both, sir.
4. 表因果关系:for, so
You’d better stay at home, for it was raining outside and a bit cold.
Henry hadn’t studied very hard, so he failed in the final exam.
5. 表对比关系: while
I do almost all of our housework while my husband Tom just helps me to clean floors now and then.
6. 祈使句+and/or +简单句
祈使句表示一个条件,and引导的简单句表示一个承接的结果,or引导的简单句表示一个相反的结果,简单句多用一般将来时态。
Keep working hard, and you will achieve success.
继续努力,你就会成功的。
Never try to waste other people’s time, or we will be punished some day.
不要去浪费别人的时间,不然总有一天我们会受到惩罚。

③Leave it with me ____________ I will see what I can do with it.
④Don’t drive so fast ____________ you’ll have an accident.
⑤The shops were closed ____________ I didn’t get any milk.
在空白处填入适当的并列连词
but
and
and
or
so
三、复合句
1. 定义及结构:
由一个主句和一个或一个以上的从句构成的句子叫复合句。在复合句中主句是全句的主体,从句是全句的一个成分,可以是主语、宾语、定语或状语,但不能独立存在。主句与从句之间用关联词连接起来。例如:
Anybody who breaks the laws will be punished.
任何违反法律的人都将受到惩罚。
The film had begun when we got to the cinema.
我们到达电影院的时候,电影已经开演了。
What they will do hasn’t been decided.
我们将要做什么还没有决定下来。
2. 主从复合句的分类
根据从句对主句的修饰、限定和补充作用,主从复合句主要分为名词性从句、定语从句和状语从句。
1) 名词性从句 在句子中起名词作用的句子叫名词性从句。名词性从句的功能相当于名词词组,因此可分为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
That English is of vital importance is not acknowledged by all. (主语从句)
It is unknown when they arrived. (主语从句)
Jack was informed that he should register by August. (宾语从句)
She asked me if/whether I liked swimming. (宾语从句)
The question is whether they have singed a contract. (表语从句)
The question is why he cried yesterday. (表语从句)
There is a rumour that he married a widow. (同位语从句)
The idea that money means everything is not right. (同位语)
2.定语从句
定语从句多由关系词(关系代词或关系副词)引出。
People who/that create computer viruses are called hackers.
It was an actor whose name escapes me for the moment.
A prosperity which/that had never been seen before appears in the countryside.
I’ll never forget the days when I worked together with you.
(when在从句中作状语,可替换成介词in+which)
As we know, after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, there were several attempts to draft a civil code (起草民法典).
(as引导非限制性定语从句,可位于主句前面)
3. 状语从句
用作状语的从句很多,可以表示时间、地点、原因、条件、方式、目的、结果、比较、让步等。
I didn’t work it out until you had explained how. (时间状语从句)
Since/As the weather is bad, we have to delay our meeting. (原因状语从句)
You must speak a bit louder so that/in order that you can make yourself heard by all. (目的状语从句)
He is so young that he can’t go to school by himself. (结果状语从句)
As long as you are good in your health, nothing else matters. (条件状语从句)
Although it’s raining heavily, the farmers are still working in the fields. (让步状语从句)

③After three days’ waiting,there was a little doubt in the mother’s mind ________ the police could find her lost child.
④The fact ____________ he has not been seen recently disturbs everyone in his office.
在空白处填入适当的引导词
which
why
whether
that
四、并列复合句
在并列句中,如果两个分句又含有一个或几个从句的话,那就成为更加复杂的并列复合句。例如:
There is no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer, but there is fierce debate over whether it is human activity that has caused this global warming or whether it is just a natural phenomenon.
毫无疑问,地球正在变暖,但对于是人类活动导致了这种全球变暖,还是这只是一种自然现象,存在着激烈的争论。
前1、2分句是并列关系,而第1、2分句中都带有各种从句。
I admire Tim, but he doesn’t admire me, although I try hard to impress him.
我钦佩蒂姆,但他并不钦佩我,尽管我努力想给他留下深刻印象。
前1、2分句是并列关系,而第1、2分句与第3分句之间又是主从复合关系。
Even if you fail, at least you try, and you are a better person for it.
即使你失败了,至少你努力了,而且你是做这个事情的理想人选。
前1、2分句是主从复合关系,而第1、2分句与第3分句之间又是并列关系。
Not only did Tom introduce over 120 species of plants to Western gardens but he also shipped 20,000tea plants from Shanghai to India, where a successful tea industry was established.
汤姆不仅将120多种植物引进西方花园,还将20000株茶树从上海运到印度,在那里建立了成功的茶业。
前1、2分句是并列关系,而第2分句与第3分句之间又是主从复合关系。

倒装句

In a way, I think we both won: I the game, but cousin Ed my respect.
在一定程度上,我认为我们都赢了:我赢得了这次比赛,但伊德表弟赢得了我的尊重。
Rising through the roof is the Tower of the Sun
省略句
(won)
(won)
本句是复合句。主句 Rising...the Sun 是倒装句,"主谓状"结构把现在分词短语提到句首,助动词 be 提到主语的前面,形成完全倒装;inside which引导定语从句,谓语动词 stands 提到主语前面形成完全倒装。
I the game中,I后面承前省略了 won; cousin Ed 后也是这样。
(1) 首先确定句子是简单句、复合句、并列句,还是并列复合句。
(2) 如果是简单句,首先确定主语和谓语,然后确定其他成分。
(3) 如果是并列句,首先找出并列连词,然后确定各个并列分句的主语和谓语及其他成分。
(4) 如果是复合句,首先找出从属连词确定从句,看成一个整体;然后确定主句(句首没有从属连词),注意连词省略现象和多义连词在句中的确切含义。
(5) 若长句在语篇中与上下文存在较为紧密的衔接连贯关系,尤其是句中有指代词的时候,除了弄清楚句子结构和语意逻辑外,有时还需要结合句子所在的上下文,分析明确长句中指代词的具体所指。

Karl Marx; 1818-1883; born in Germany, died in London; studied law and philosophy; philosopher and thinker, economist, historian, sociologist, revolutionary socialist; creator of Marxism, founder of international communism, co-writer of The Communist Manifesto
Read the two profiles below. Write a paragraph about one of them or any other person you admire. Try to make the sentences work together effectively.
Karl Marx was born in Germany in 1818 and died in London in 1883. At university he studied law and philosophy, but he wore many hats in his long career: He was a philosopher and thinker, economist, historian, and sociologist.
