連接詞(Conjunction)用於連接句中的「詞與詞」「片語與片語」「子句與子句」,具有使句子「變長」或「複雜化」的功能。連接詞有and, but, or, for, as, because, if, so, that, when等。
AND
表示某個觀念與另一個觀念的時間 (前後) 順序:"Tashonda sent in her applications and waited by the phone for a response."
表示某個觀念是另一個觀念的結果:"Michael heard the weather report and promptly boarded up his house."
表示某個觀念與另一個觀念成對比 (在這種用法中通常以 but 來取代):"Juanita is brilliant and Shalimar has a pleasant personality.
表示一種錯愕,意外的相反意思 (在這種用法中有時以 yet 來取代):"Hartford is a rich city and suffers from many symptoms of urban blight."
表示某個子句附屬於另一個子句 (第一個子句通常是祈使句):"Use your credit cards frequently and you'll soon find yourself deep in debt."
這是一種含有假設意思的用法,上面的句子等於 "If you use your credit cards frequently, and...."
表示一種對第一個子句的「評論、發表意見」:"Charlie became addicted to gambling -- and that surprised no one who knew him."
BUT
鑑於第一個子句的敘述,表示一種意料之外的對比:"Joey lost a fortune in the stock market, but he still seems able to live quite comfortably."
以肯定的敘述來表示句子先前的部分係在做否定的暗示 (有時以 on the contrary 來取代):"The club never invested foolishly, but used the services of a sage investment counselor."
OR
表示只有一個可能性可能實現,排除另一個可能性:"You can study hard for this exam or you can fail."
表示所有選擇方案的組合:"We can broil chicken on the grill tonight, or we can just eat leftovers."
表示對第一個子句的改良、做更精確的敘述:"Smith College is the premier all-women's college in the country, or so it seems to most Smith College alumnae."
表示對句子先前部分的「修改」或以不同的方式重述:"There are no rattlesnakes in this canyon, or so our guide tells us."
表示一種否定的情況:"The New Hampshire state motto is the rather grim "Live free or die."
在不使用祈使句的情況下,表示否定的選擇 (參見上面 and 的用法):"They must approve his political style or they wouldn't keep electing him mayor."
仲有好多好多!
