【中文作文中段落与段落的连接词】十二大基本语法体系2:连接词

连接词是英语的重要组成部分，它将英语中的句子和段落连接起来，使句子流动自然，使英语句子和句子之间的段落和段落之间的关系一目了然。在英语中，连接词分为连接词性连接词(连接词)和副词性连接词两大类。

一、连接词连接词(连接词)

连接词用来连接连接词和单词、词组和短语或句子和句子。连接词不能单独构成句子成分，也没有形态变化。连接词分为并行连接词和从属连接词两种。

并列连词

并列连接词用于连接句子中承担相同成分的单词、短语或子句。一般有7个单词和4个短语：and、but、or、for(因为)、nor、so、yetBoth.and.not only.but also.either.or.neither.nor

1.and用于连接表示平行或对称关系的单词、短语或子句。

The man put on his coat and hat，and went out of the office。那个人穿上大衣，戴上帽子，离开了办公室。

a car and a dictionary are both useful。汽车和词典都很有用。

I went home and John stayed there。我回家了，约翰在那儿。

2.but连接两个意思不同或相反的单词、短语或子句，表示转换。

not everybody is honest and hard working，but Tom is。不是所有人都像汤姆一样诚实和乐意。

we tried to persuade her to do it but failed。我们试图说服她，但没有成功。

3.or表示两者之一，表示选择。

4 .因为for(因为)只能放在表示结的子句后面，可以引导表示理由的子句。

He didn't go there，for he was ill。他没有去那里，因为他病了。

5.both.and.只能用于连接两个并列单词或短语。无法连接句子。

His plan is both easy and practical。他的计划简单实用。

both this plane and its engines are made in China。这架飞机的机身和发动机都是中国制造的。

6.not only.but also.不仅可以连接单词和短语，还可以连接盗窃。also有时会被省略(当not only在句子的开头时，必须颠倒主语和谓词)。

he is not only an actor but also a writer。他不仅是演员，还是作家。

he not only read it but also remembered what he had read。他不仅读过，还记住了读过的一切。

not only did he say it but(also)he did it。他不仅说了，而且做了。(翻转芯片)

7.爱瑟.or.“或者……”，“不.或者……”的意义(either.or.整体结构成为主语时，句子中的动词通常必须与相邻的主语一致):

9. so(因此)，引导表示结过的分句，原因分句在前(与for相反)：

It’s getting dark, so I must be going. 天黑了，因此我得走了。

I had a headache, so I went to bed early last night. 我头痛，于是昨晚很早就睡了。

10. yet (然而)，有时和and 一起用，表示吃惊、表示转折，相当于but at the same time, however, nevertheless:

(二)从属连词：引导从句

1. 连词that, if, whether，连接代词what, which, who, whom, whose以及连接副词how, when, why, where可用来引导名词从句，充当主语、表语、宾语等。非正式文体中的宾语从句常省略that：

I think (that) he’ll be back in an hour. 我认为他一小时后就会回来。

Who they are doesn’t matter much. 他们是谁没什么大关系。

Can you tell me where he is? 你能告诉我他在哪儿吗?

He asked me if/whether I knew John. 他问我是否认识约翰。

此外，that, which, who, whom, whose, when, why, where等还可以引导定语从句。

2. 连词when, while, before, after, till/until, since, as soon as等引导时间状语从句：

She said hello to me when she saw me. 她看到我的时候，和我打了招呼。

I’ll wait here until you come back. 我将在这里等你回来。

3. 连词if, unless引导条件状语从句;because, as, since引导原因状语从句：

I’ll help her if she asks me to. 如果她要求我，我就帮助她。

I won’t help her unless she asks me to. 除非她要求我，否则我不会帮她。

He didn’t come because he was ill. 因为他病了，所以没来。

As he hasn’t appeared yet, we shall start without him. 既然他还没有出现，我们就先开始吧。

Since everybody is here, let’s begin. 既然大家都到了，咱们就开始吧。

4. 连词in order than, so that引导目的状语从句;so…that…引导结果状语从句：

I locked the door in order that we might continue our discussions undisturbed. (=I locked the door in order to continue our discussions undisturbed.) 我把门锁上了，以便我们可以继续讨论而不受打扰。

The car ran so fast that I couldn’t see who was in it. 汽车跑得那么快，我没看清谁坐在里面。

5. 连词than, as…as…, not as/so…as…用来引导比较状语从句：

He is as well educated as his brother. 他和他兄弟受的教育一样好。

He is not as/so well educated as his brother. 他没有他兄弟受的教育好。

6. 连词although, though 引导让步状语从句;where, wherever 引导地点状语从句：

I’ll go wherever you go. 不管你去哪儿，我就去那儿。

Though/Although she is rich, she’s not happy. 尽管她富有，但她并不幸福。

Stay where you are! 原地别动!

一般来说，连词性质的连接词连接两个分句或引导一个从句，两个分句或主从复合句之间用逗号连接。

二、副词性连接词

副词性质的连接词不能象连词一样分句或主从复合句之间用逗号连接。也就是说它们不能连接两个分句或引导从句。它们引导的句子与前面的句子之间要用分号或句号，而它们与引导的句子之间往往用逗号。副词性质的连接词在写作中常常使用，主要分为以下几类：

1. 表示顺序的，如first, in the first place, then, finally, in the end等等，尤其要注意then：

误：He graduated from college in 2003, then he found a job.

正：He graduated from college in 2003. Then he found a job.(=He graduated from college in 2003, and then he found a job.)

2. 表示递进关系的，如in addition, what is more, furthermore, moreover等。注意in addition 与in addition to 的区别：in addition 是副词性质;而in addition to 是介词性质，后面必须接宾语

3. 表示转折关系的，如 however, nevertheless, nonetheless, on the contrary, in contrast, 等等。要注意不要把however 当成连词：

误：In 2003, the United States launched the war on Iraq on account of Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction (WMD), however, no WMD has been found in Iraq so far.

正：In 2003, the United States launched the war on Iraq on account of Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction (WMD). However, no WMD has been found in Iraq so far.
