雖然這三樣事情(行動): had breakfast, cleaned the house, went to work看似是有"時序,但從文法和句意來說,假如寫的人是"記錄"(這句是過去時態動詞),只是列出三件事情,就像例出三樣東西一樣,中間逗號不用連接詞,只有在最後一項加上and。就算是列出十項都是A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J.
她吃完早餐(He had some breakfast),清理房間(cleaned the house),然後去上班(and went to work) – 和中文的寫法可說是ㄧ致的啊!
若寫成:她吃完早餐(He had some breakfast),然後清理房間( and cleaned the house),然後去上班(and went to work) – 同樣一個字”and(然後)”重複在一句中.,即使是中文也算寫得不好啊!
不管中文還是英文,多一個”and(然後)”沒所謂嚴重錯誤,但卻是畫蛇填足,多此一舉
