两句的连接方法
2-5:连词的独立用法
and,or,but通常置于两个并列的主句之间,以发挥连词的功能
有时我们也可见到and,or,but变成大写,置于单一的主句(即简单句)句首,形成独立的用法。惟此类用法必须要有上下文才能存在。
例如:无上下文:and he took my advice.(x)
有上下文:he was not sure as to how to handle the problem,but i told him not to worry about it until his father came.and he took my advice.(o)
(他不能确定如何处理这个问题,但是我告诉他在他父亲来以前别担心。而他接受了我的劝告。)
无上下文:but he left just the same.(x)
有一下文:since it was raining quite hard,i asked him to stay lest he should catch a cold walking in the rain.but he left just the same.(o)
(因为雨下得很大,我要他留下来以免走在雨中着凉,但他还是走了。)
