内部讲义:常考词的语法与用法(02)

among prep.

1. 表示“在…中间”,通常用于三者或三者以上的人或事物,其宾语通常是一个表示笼统数量或具有复数(或集合)意义的名词或代词。如:

They hid themselves among the trees. 他们躲在树林中。

I found it among a pile of old books. 我在一堆旧书中找到了它。

2. 有时可用来引出最高级的比较范围。如:

The book is the best among the modern novels. 在现代小说 中这本是最好的。

3. 表示“是……当中的一个”,相当于 one of。如:

I was among the first to come. 我是来得最早的一个。

Paris is among the largest cities in the world. 巴黎是世界上最大的城市之一。

 

amount n. & v.

1. 用作名词,意为“数量”、“金额”等,通常用于 a (great, large) amount of 这类结构,其后通常接不可数名词; 这类结构用作主语,其谓语的数取决于 amount 的数。如:

在这座桥上花了大量资金。

正: A large amount of money was spent on the bridge.

正: Large amounts of money were spent on the bridge.

比较:在 a great number of 之后通常接可数名词(用复数)。

2. 用作动词,意为“合计”、“等于”、“意味着”,通常是不及物动词,其后常接介词 to。如:

Building cost amounts to six million dollars. 建筑费用达600 万元。

Her reply amounts to a refusal. 她的回答等于拒绝。

This amounts to doing the whole thing over again. 这等于要把整个事重做一遍。

 

and conj.

1. 连接两个相同的比较级,表示“越来越……”。如:

It moves faster and faster. 它动得越来越快。

Your work is getting better and better. 你的工作干得越来越好了。

2. 连接两个相同的动词,表示动作的反复或连续。如:

He coughed and coughed. 他咳个不停。

He tried and tried but without success. 他试了又试,但没有成功。

3. 连接两个相同的名词,表示“许多”或“有各种各样的” (即有好的也有坏的)。如:

They talked for hours and hours. 他们谈了很长时间。

There are books and books. 有各种各样的书(即书有好坏之分)。

4.口语中用在 come, go, run, stay, stop, try 等之后表示目的(and 在此相当于不定式符号 to)。如:

Come and have a look. 来看一看。

We will try and get one tomorrow. 我们明天设法弄一个来。

We ought to stop and think. 我们应该停下来想一想。

Will you go and fetch me some paper, please? 请你去给我拿点纸来好吗?

以上动词除 try 只能用原形外,其它动词都可有多种形式。如:

正:We stayed and had a drink with him. 我们留下来同他喝 了一杯。

正:We stopped and bought some flowers. 我们停下来买了些 花。

误:He tried and finished the work in time.

注:在 come, go 之后的 and 有时可以省略(尤其在美国英语中)。如:

I’ll come (and) see you later. 我晚些时候再来看你。

5. 用在祈使句后,表示结果,意为“那么”(暗示一种条件)。如:

Work hard and you’ll pass the examinations (=If you work

hard, you’ll pass the examinations). 努力吧,你考试会及格的。

Arrive late once more and you’re fired (=If you arrive late once more, you’re fired). 再迟到一次,就把你开除。

有时也可以不是用于祈使句后表示结果。如:

One more step and I will fire. 你再动一步,我就要开枪了。

6. 用在 good, nice, fine 等之后,表示“很”、“挺”。如:

It’s nice and cool under the tree. 这树下很凉快。

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

7. 在主从复合句中,不要在主句前误加 and。如:

要是下雨,我们就呆在家里。

正:If it rains, we’ll stay at home.

误:If it rains, and we’ll stay at home.

8. 某些用 and 连接的两个词,与汉语顺序相反,不要按汉语词序颠倒过来。如:

rich and poor 贫富 land and water 水陆

right and left 左右 north and south 南北

food and drink 饮食 food and clothing 衣食

9. 比较以下各组句子有无连词 and 的差别:

天气晴朗,我们出去散了步。

正:The weather being fine, we went out for a walk.

正:The weather was fine, and we went out for a walk.
