前面我們已經對描述一件事做了詳細的學習,這篇開始我們來研究多件事的描述。
多件事的描述用多個簡單句描述。
如何進行描述呢?
n. + v. n. + v. n. + v. ......
與中文不一樣的是:中文描述時在簡單句間用逗號或分號隔開就OK了;英語在連接時必須在句子間加連接詞,注意形合。表示什麼關係就加對應的連接詞。
即:(n. + v.) conj. (n. + v.) conj. (n. + v.) conj (n. + v.) ......
其中conj.可用表示條件的、表示 因果的等。
(n. + v.) conj. (n. + v.) conj. (n. + v.) conj (n. + v.) ......這就是長難句。
長難句分成:並列句;複合句。
多件事情一樣重要的用並列句。
多件事情有區別的用複合句,即要區分主從關係。
(一)並列句
並列句的構成 :(多件事分別寫成多個簡單句)由多個簡單句 + 並列連詞
關鍵點:並列連詞(分4大類)
例句:The financial fallout has begun,and the political fallout may not be far behind.
