章振邦语法英语句子汉译:并列句与并列结构


并列结构和并列句
1) 并列结构的类型
两个或两个以上意义相关、层次相同、句法功能也相同,并由并列连词 (coordinator) 或其他并列手段连接起来的语法结构序列叫做”并列结构" (coordinate structure)。并列结构分为不同的层次,它可以是词和词的并列:
knife and fork
buy or sell
good but expensive

也可以是词组和词组的并列:
a teacher and a student
one way or the other
with strength but without confidence

也可以是分句和分句的并列:由两个或两个以上并列分句构成的句子叫做并列句 (compound sentence)。例如:
The teacher's name is Smith, and the student's name (is) Keith.
The children can go with us or they can stay at home.
This sentence may be correct grammatically, but a native speaker never says it that way.
Mary is a nurse, her brother is a doctor, and her parents are both famous writers.

一串平行的句子,不带并列连词,但语义相关,结构相同,也可归入并列句之列。例如:
We were discussing where to go for the holiday: some wanted to go to the seaside; some liked to visit the "Sea World"; others preferred to stay overnight in a country house.

此类并列结构叫做“不带连词的并列结构" (asyndetic coordination) ; 那常见的并列结构便叫“带连词的并列结构" (syndetic coordination)。

2) 并列结构和标点符号
由上述诸例可以看出,由两个以上项目构成的并列结构通常只在最后一个项目之前用并列连词,其他项目之间仅用逗号连接。又例如:
There are five types of discharge from military service (退役): honorable, general, undesirable, bad conduct, and dishonorable.
At diploma mills (文凭制造厂) throughout the states you can buy a bachelor's degree (学士学位) for about $1,500, a master's degree for $1,600, or a doctorate for $1,700.

但也有全用连词的,两个以上项目全用连词连接起来的并列结构,在修辞色彩上给人以悠闲缓慢、延续持久的感觉。例如:
Raising vegetables presents endless opportunities for weeding and thinning and hoeing and watering.

相反地,有时也可全用逗号,这就在修辞色彩上给人以紧张、急促、明快、利落的感觉。例如:
Individuals are less toubled by feelings of gu when they share responsibility for things with a group - a street gang, lynch mob (对黑人施私刑的暴民), terrorist organization.

有时,在一个句子中有两个并列结构,其一全用逗号,另一全用连词,这样处理是为了达到上述两种修辞效果。例如:
In the country there are no honking horns (汽车喇叭声), no diesel rucks, no pollution —just the sounds of wind rustling the tree leaves and ed squirrels (松鼠) chattering in the distant oaks and cool creek water rushing down its endless course.

除了逗号,分号(;)和冒号(:)也能起并列连词的作用 一般说来,用分号连接两个并列分句,通常表示一种对比关系。例如:
Golf demands the best of time and space; tennis, the best of personal energy.
After he father's death, she went out very little; after her sweetheart went away, people saw her hardly at all.
He was caught: behind him was a locked door in front of him were the officers and the dogs.

在某些连接性状语 (Conjunct) accordingly, furthermore, hence, however, nevertheless, therefore等之前通常要用分号,而不用逗号,因为这些词项是副词,而不是连词。 例如:
He had worked in the foreign service for two years without leave; hence he was tired almost beyond endurance.
om a running start Pedro launched his body into a vigorous acing dive; however, he was about
thirty feet from the pool at the time.
Nations indeed seem to have a kind of biological span like human life, from rebellious youth,
through caution, to decay; consequently, predictions of doom are not uncommon.

用冒号连接两个并列分句,通常表示下文是对上文的解释和发挥。 例如:
A house with an aging furnace costs more than the asking price suggests: ten dollars more a month in fuel means about eighty dollars more a year.
Hijackers and kidnappers offered two equally impossible alternatives: a refusal to meet their terms may mean death for their victims; meeting their terms may mean more victims in the future.

3) 列结构中的插入语
不论是由两个或两个以上项目构成的并列结构,都可在最后一个项目之前插入一个词语,从而使这个项目处于更加突出的地位。例如:
The conference on nuclear energy was attended by students from Stanford and, predictably, teachers from Berkeley.
Donna was happy with her achievement but, after three days of intense competition, tired from the struggle.
Keith spends Saturday night walking down the street or, when the cops are after him, running through alleys.
John Frankenheimer has directed action movies (导演动作片) such as "The Manchurian Candidate" , "Seven Days in May" , "G and Prix" , and, more recently, "Black Sunday and Brinks" .

4) 列结构的对称组合
如果一个并列结构由四个或四个以上项目构成,常用成对组合的办法使整个结构更加紧凑。 例如:
Only a few cities are known as "good baseball towns" - Cincinnati, Detroit, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, and New York.

上述六个并列项目可以重新组合为三个平行的并列结构:
Only a few cities are known as "good baseball towns" Cincinnati and Det oit Chicago and Boston, Los Angeles and New York.

又例如
Black American writers like Frederick Douglas, W. E. B. Du Bois, Malcolm X, and Eldridge Cleaver have found autobiography (自传) an especially congenial (宜人的) form.
以上并列结构可作如下的重新组合
Black American writers from Frederick Douglas and W. E. B. Du Bois to Malcolm X and Eldridge Cleaver have found autobiography an especially congenial form.

5) 并列句的类型
并列结构的形式和意义,其中许多方面都适用千并列句。并列句就是由两个或两个以上并列分旬 各种并列手段连接起来的句式。连接并列分句的手段可以是并列连词 ,可以是连接副词 ,也可以是某些标点符号如分号和冒号。例如带并列连词的并列句:
The signal was given, and the ship moved slowly out of the dock.
Being idle sometimes is agreeable, but being idle all the time might become monotonous.
We must be early or(else) we won't get a seat.

We must run, otherwise we will be too late.

He says he is a scholar; however he has three houses and drives a Rolls.
