除了片语动词、动词短语等之外,这里要介绍一种三位一体的词组,我把它们命名为三合一惯用语,由名词+名词、动词+动词、形容词+形容词以及副词+副词合组而成。有时两个词之间不用 and而用or。三合一惯用语数目不算多,但已渐渐在增长中,相当配合时尚,可以多加留意,尽量学用。 下面是些常见的例子: ㈠ 名词+名词 ● rules and regulations(各种条例) One should pay attention to all the rules and regulations of a working place. ● law and order(法律秩序;法纪) The polices job is to maintain law and order of a country. ● facts and figures(事实和数字) Traditional teaching tends to cram students with facts and figures for memorisation and regurigitation. ● dos and donts (应注意的事项) Try to be familiar with the dos and donts of an organisation. ● merits and demerits(优缺点) To evaluate a system, one has to take into account both its merits and demerits. ● bag and baggage(连同全部财物) The rascal was turned out of the room bag and baggage. ● pros and cons(赞成和反对的理由) |
