    一、连词连接两个对等的词和对等的结构

    并列连词and, but, as well as, or, or else, both … and, neither … nor, either … or, not only … but (also), rather than等以及从属连词than可连接两个对等的词和对等的结构.

    1.所连接的谓语形式必须一致

    例1:He went downtown, bought some books and visited his daughter.

    例2:Gunpowder was discovered in the twelfth century, but not used in warfare until two hundred years later.

    2.所连接的词或短语形式必须一致

    例1:Your semester grade is based not only on how well you do on each test, but also on how you participate in

    class.

    例2:We often go to the countryside as well as to factories.

    例3:I would much rather go to the countryside than stay here.

    3.连接的非谓语动词的形式必须一致

    例1:Some find swimming more enjoyable than sitting at home reading.

    例2:He was engaged in writing a letter rather than reading the newspaper.

    4.所连接的句子结构必须一致

    例1:She is pleased with what you have given and all that you have told him.

    例2:The purpose of the research had a more different meaning for them than it did for us.

    二、某些特定的固定结构.例如:

    (1)有些词后要用平行结构.例如:

    prefer sth to sth

    prefer doing sth to doing sth

    prefer to do sth rather than do sth

    1) I prefer rice to noodles.

    2)I prefer watching TV to listening to music.

    3) He preferred to die rather than surrender.

    (2)有些结构中要用平行结构.例如:

    would / had rather / sooner do something than do something, would / had as soon do something as do something (宁可……也不……)

    1) Liu Hulan said she had rather die than give up.

    2) I would as soon stay at home as go.

    III 部分强调句

    要强调句子的某一部分,可以把句子的结构改变一下,通常有两种表示强调的句式:It is / was … that …结构和What … is / was…结构.

    一、It is / was … that … 结构

    1.It is / was … that … 结构可以用来强调句子中几乎任何部分

    例1:It was my mother that threw an egg at Mr. Li yesterday.

    例2:It was Mr. Li that my mother threw an egg at yesterday.

    2.被强调的部分指人时,可用who枵whom

    强调主语时,如果指的是人, 可以不用that而用who来代替.强调宾语时,如果指点的是人,可用whom.例如:

    1)It was the dean who walked by.

    2)It was Mary whom the old lady missed most.

    3被强调部分指物时,要用that

    例如:It was an egg that my mother threw at Mr. Li yesterday.

    4.被强调部分是状语时,也只能用that,不能用when或where.

    例1:It is during his spare time that John has been studying a course in French.

    例2:It was in the hall that the mayor held the press conference.

    5.不能用It is / was … that 结构强调动词 强调动词常用do,过去式用did.例如:

    1) They did study very hard yesterday.

    2) He does look forward to making the acquaintance of her.

    What … is / was … 结构

    二、What … is / was … 结构常用来强调主语或宾语,在这种结构中,is/ was后面是强调的部分.例如:

    1)What hurts is my left leg.

    2)What I like is her style.
