good and fast＝“又好又快”吗

good and fast＝“又好又快”吗

good and fast 是什么意思？是“又好又快”吗？请看下面的题：

—He speaks very good English.

—No, I don’t think so. But he really speaks __________ and fast.

A. good                         B. well                        C. bad                        D. badly

此题应选A。容易误选B。误选的理由主要是：修饰动词speak要用副词well, 而不能用形容词good。

其实此题选B(well)的错误不在于修饰问题，因为单独看He speaks well and fast. 并没有什么不妥。但在本题这样的语境中，选B(well)与上文显然是自相矛盾。

此题正确答案为A(good)，其理由是：good and是一习惯用语，其义相当于very, completely等，通常放在形容词或副词前，加强语气。如：

He was good and tired. 他很累了。

It was good and cold in the room. 房间里很冷。

The soup was good and hot. 这汤很烫。

—The boy was bad. 这孩子很坏。

—Yes! He was good and bad. 是的，他确实很坏。

有时，也可以将以上用法中的 good 换成 nice, fine, big, lovely等。如：

The house stands nice and high. 这房子很高。

The car is going nice and fast. 这车跑得很快。

The grass is fine and tall. 草长得很高。

It was a lovely and warm day. 那是很暖和的一天。

The boss was always big and busy. 老板总是很忙。

The book is fine and expensive. 这本书很贵。
