以下是引用turtlechen在2004-1-13 8:26:00的发言:我见您对连接词得使用粉有兴趣,这里有篇文章给您参考:

定义
连接词是指将句子中的子句、词组或字连接起来的字。
对等连接词(Coordinating Conjunctions)
and、but 等小而美的连接词都是对等连接词:
对等连接词
and but or yet for nor so
记住:这些连接词都少于四个英文字母。注意:then 和 now 都不是对等连接词,所以我们所谈论的对等连接词在句子中的角色及标点符号都不适用于这两个字。
当一个对等连接词连接两个独立子句时,它通常 (但并非总是)用一个逗点分开:Ulysses wants to play for UConn, but he has had trouble meeting the academic requirements.
当由对等连接词连接的两个独立子句具有良好的对称或句子简短时,许多写作者都省略这个逗点:
Ulysses has a great jump shot but he isn't quick on his feet.
使用逗点来分开由对等连接词连接的两个独立子句时,这个逗点永远是正确的。请参考两个独立子句之间的标点符号来获得进一步的协助。
在一系列项目中,若仅最后一个项目使用 and 来连接,则 and 前面的逗点也是正确的,不过许多写作者 (尤其是报纸)会省略最后这个逗点:
Ulysses spent his summer studying basic math, writing, and reading comprehension.
在一系列项目中,若每个项目都用对等连接词来连接,则不用逗点:
Presbyterians and Methodists and Baptists are the prevalent Protestant congregations in Oklahoma.
请参考逗点的使用规则来获得进一步的协助。逗点也跟 but 连用来表达一项对比:
This is a useful rule, but difficult to remember.
对等连接词除连接两个独立子句外还具有其它连接功能,其中荦荦大者是可以在不必藉助于逗点的情况下连接两个句子元素:
Hemingway and Fitzgerald are among the American expatriates of the between-the-wars era.
Hemingway was renowned for his clear style and his insights into American notions of male identity.
It is hard to say whether Hemingway or Fitzgerald is the more interesting cultural icon of his day.
在对等连接词中,最常见的当然是 and, but, 和 or。研究和探讨这三个小而美的连接词的用法对你在了解连接词上会有很大的帮助。下面的例句只能阐述这些连接词的一部份意思而已。
AND
a. 表示某个观念与另一个观念的时间 (前后) 顺序:"Tashonda sent in her applications and waited by the phone for a response."
b. 表示某个观念是另一个观念的结果:"Michael heard the weather report and promptly boarded up his house."
c. 表示某个观念与另一个观念成对比 (在这种用法中通常以 but 来取代):"Juanita is brilliant and Shalimar has a pleasant personality.
d. 表示一种错愕,意外的相反意思 (在这种用法中有时以 yet 来取代):"Hartford is a rich city and suffers from many symptoms of urban blight."
e. 表示某个子句附属于另一个子句 (第一个子句通常是祈使句):"Use your credit cards frequently and you'll soon find yourself deep in debt."
这是一种含有假设意思的用法,上面的句子等于 "If you use your credit cards frequently, and...."
f. 表示一种对第一个子句的「评论、发表意见」:"Charlie became addicted to gambling -- and that surprised no one who knew him."
多谢turtlechen GG.
