and的用法及含义

And是英语中一个普通的连词,然而and并非只作并列连词用,它还具有一些不太常见的表达方式和意义,应根据上下文的特殊环境,作出判断才能准确理解其用法和意思。

1.and作并列连词,译为“和、并且”等,当连接三个以上的并列成分时,它放在最后一个成分之前,其余用逗号分开,例如:

He bought a book and a pen.他买了一本书和一支笔。

Solid,liquid and gas are the three states of matter.固态、液态和气态是物质的三种状态。

2.名词+and+名词,若这种结构表示一个概念时,and+名词相当于介词with+名词,译为“附带、兼”的意思,例如:

Noodle and egg is a kind of delicious food.(and egg=with egg)鸡蛋面是一种美味食物。

Whose is this watch and chain?(and chain=with chain)这块带表链的手表是谁的?

3.名词复数+and+同一名词的复数,强调连续或众多的含义。例如:

There are photos and photos.照片一张接着一张。

They saw film hours and hours last week.上星期他们一小时接一小时地看电影。

4.形容词+and+形容词,这种结构形似并列,实际并非并列结构。例如:

This roon is nice and warm(= nicely warm).

The coffee is nice and hot(=thoroughly hot).

5.用and连接动词的用法:and+动词作目的状语。动词 go(come,stop等)+and+动词,此时,and+动词相当于in order to+动词,例如:

①I'll go and bring back your boots,(go and bring back=go in order to bringback)我去把你的靴子拿来。

②and+动词,起现在分词的作用,表示方式或伴随情况。例如:

He sat and waited.(and waited=waiting)他坐着等。

③and+同一动词表示动作长时间地“继续”或“重复”,例如:

We waited and waited.我们等呀等。

6.用来补充语意起强调作用,例如:

You have to send in the application and(that)without delay.你得交上申请表格,不能拖延。

He can express his ideas in English and(that) effectiyely.他能用英语准确地表达自己的想法。

7.用来连接一句祈使句和一句陈述句,这里祈使句+and相当于if…,例如:

Persevere,and you will succeed.

Make haste,and you will get there in time.

以上两句分别改为:

If you persevere,you will succeed.

If you make haste,you will get there in time.

8.用于插入语中作为一种评语,例如:

He has a somewhat swelled head,and I don't like this.

They refused to sign the agreement and that's not surprising which put us in anawkward position.9.表示对比,例如:

Mary likes music and Jim is fond of sports.

He was so rich and lived like a beggar.

10.表示条件,例如:

Use your head,and you'll find a way.

Think it over again and you'll find a way out.

11.表示因果关系,例如:

He heard a cry for help,and he rushed ont of the house.

12.表示先后顺序,例如:

He read for an hour and went to bed

13.表示意义增补,例如:

He is Jack of all trades and master of none.

14.用and连接比较级,表示程度逐步增强,意思是“越来越”,例如:

15.用and重叠句子表示“又、再”,例如:

We read the book again and again.我们反复阅读这本书。

16.表示时间的一致性,例如:

She slept and dreamed last night.

17.用来加强其后面的词或词组,例如:

She has lost her pencil and that one is new.

18.有时形容词的同位语由and引出,此时译为“即,也就是”,例如:

The third and last point is how to be a good student.第三点,也就是最后一点,是如何成为一名优秀的学生。

19.表示递进,例如:

He did the work and he did it well.

20.用在句子的开头以表示连续性和惊讶的意思,例如:

And he said to John.接着他对约翰说。

And is it true?这是真的吗?

21.连接数词,译为“加”,例如:

4 and 2makes 6.4加2等于6。
