【摘要】连词是一种虚词,用于连接单词、短语、从句或句子,在句子中不单独用作句子成分。连词按其性质可分为并列连词和从属连词。并列连词是连接主语与主语,谓语与谓语,句子与句子,分词与分词的词,它要求前后两部分有相同的形式和语法作用;而从属连词一般连接主句与从句,从句形式有名词性从句,定语从句和状语从句等。

【Abstract】A conjunction is a word that “joins”. A conjunction joins two parts of a sentence. Coordinating conjunctions are used to join two parts of a sentence that are grammatically equal. The two parts may be single words or clauses;Subordinating conjunctions are used to join a subordinate dependent clause to a main clause.

连词是一种虚词,用于连接单词、短语、从句或句子,在句子中不单独用作句子成分。连词按其性质可分为并列连词和从属连词。并列连词是连接主语与主语,谓语与谓语,句子与句子,分词与分词的词,它要求前后两部分有相同的形式和语法作用;而从属连词一般连接主句与从句,从句形式有名词性从句,定语从句和状语从句等。使用连词时常见的错误有以下几种:
1 不能准确理解和把握英语中连词的作用
英语与汉语在句子结构方面最基本的差异是:汉语并不追求形式上的完整,往往只求达意;而英语句法重视句子结构形式的完整和逻辑上的合理。具体来讲,中文的句子里,不讲究什么主句、分句。因此,只要你觉得你一句话没说完,就可以一直逗号逗下去,从头逗到尾都没关系。可是,在英语中,两个简单句之间不能用逗号分开,要用连词连接起来,或者使它们单独成句子。例如:
误: We came to the crossroads, a young man and a girl came up, stopped us.
正: When we came to the crossroads, a young man and a girl came up and stopped us.
正: We came to the crossroads. A young man and a girl came up and stopped us.
析:显然误句是按照汉语思维进行组句的。纠正时既可使用连词连接两句,也可使前后两部分单独成句。另外,同一个句子中,两个并列的动词之间也必须用连词。
2 从属连词与并列连词同时使用
并列连词是用来引导并列句,从属连词用来引导名词性从句和状语从句。在使用连词时,注意不要将though / although与but, because / since / as和so同时用在一个句子中。例如:
误:Though he caught a cold, but he still went to school.
正:Though he caught a cold, he still went to school.
正:He caught a cold, but he still went to school.
误:Because I am a football fan, so I never miss a match.
正:Because I am a football fan, I never miss a match.
正:I am a football fan, so I never miss a match.
3 混淆介词和连词
由于受汉语干扰,容易错把一些介词当作连词。主要有以下几种情形:
(1)表示“随着”时,引导从句要用as,不能用with,因为with是介词。如若使用with,应当用介词短语的复合结构来表示。例如:
误: With time went on, Einstein’s theory proved to be true.
正: As time went on, Einstein’s theory proved to be true.
正: With time going on, Einstein’s theory proved to be true.
(2)表示“尽管”时,引导从句要用though / although,不能用in spite of/despite,因为in spite of/despite后面不能跟从句。例如:
误: In spite of the working conditions were poor, they fulfilled the task ahead of time.
正: Though the working conditions were poor, they fulfilled the task ahead of time.
正: In spite of the poor working conditions, they fulfilled the task ahead of time.
4 混淆连词在不同语境中的不同用法
此类错误是连词使用中的重点和难点,应特别予以注意。
(1)误: I was about to go for a walk while it began to rain.
正: I was about to go for a walk when it began to rain.
析: 这里的when用作并列连词,表示“在那时”,相当于and at that time或and then,此时不能使用while。
(2)误: It must have rained last night, because the ground is wet this morning.
正:It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet this morning.
析:此处的for用作并列连词,它引导的句子是对主句的内容加以解释或推断的,不能用because代替。
(3)误:You will be late for the class unless you don’t hurry.
正:You will be late for the class if you don’t hurry.
正:You will be late for the class unless you hurry.
析: unless引导条件状语从句时,相当于if ... not ... ,故其引导的从句中不再使用否定式。
(4)误: I wonder that they have finished the task.
正: I wonder whether they have finished the task.
析: wonder表示意义不确定,故不与that搭配,应将其改为whether或if。
(5)误: If he will be invited to the party hasn’t been decided.
正: Whether he will be invited to the party hasn’t been decided.
析:本句中是主语从句作主语,if和whether意思相同,但是在引导主语从句、表语从句或同位语从句时,通常用whether而不用if。
(6)误: Whatever difficult the work may be, I’ll carry it out.
正: However difficult the work may be, I’ll carry it out.
析: whatever是连接代词,它引导让步状语从句时,在从句中本身可以作主语、表语或宾语,不可用来修饰形容词或副词。故应将whatever改为however。
5 不能正确使用关联连词
关联连词是意义相关的一组连词,使用时应注意匹配一致。
(1)误: Failure to advertise could result in either reduced sales and less profit.
正: Failure to advertise could result in either reduced sales or less profit.
析:这里either和or是意义相关的一组连词,故应将and改为or。
(2)误: No sooner had we reached our destination, they left.
正: No sooner had we reached our destination than they left.
析: no sooner必须和than搭配成关联连词,把than省略是不对的,应该补上。
(3)误: His plan was such a good one as we all agreed to accept it.
正: His plan was such a good one that we all agreed to accept it.
析:后一分句不缺少成分,故不能使用such ... as。此处应将as改为that,构成such ... that引导的结果状语从句。
(4)误: He was not only impressed by the Chinese doctors’ skill, but by their devotion to the patient.
正: He was impressed not only by the Chinese doctors’ skill, but by their devotion to the patient.
析: not only ... but (also)用来连接两个并列成分,故应将题干中的not only置于impressed之后。
6 对部分特殊连词缺乏了解
英语中有一部分名词短语及副词可用作连词,这种由于词性发生转化而被使用的连词对同学们会有极大的迷惑性,学习时应特别注意掌握。如由名词短语转化的连词:the moment, the minute, the instant, the second, the first / last time, each / every time等;由副词转化来的连词有:immediately, directly, instantly等。
(1)误: I liked her for the first time I met her.
正: I liked her the first time I met her.
析: 此处the first time用作连词,用来引导时间状语从句,此时其前无须再加介词for。
(2)误: Every time when I went to her house, she was out.
正: Every time I went to her house, she was out.
析: every time可以用作从属连词,引导时间状语从句,故应去掉when。
