英语常用并列连词，如and, but, so, yet, for, nor, or, not onlybut also, eitheror或 neithernor等连接两个或几个同等成分，这种结构称为并列结构。连接的同等成分可以是两个或几个动词的宾语、两个或几个名词的定语、两个或几个介词短语等。如果并列连词连接的是两个或几个简单句，则构成一个并列句，使用并列结构可以使文字简洁，结构紧凑，并避免重复。 7. That is why women remain children their whole life long: never seeing anything but what is quite close to them, clinging to the present moment, taking appearance for reality, and preferring trifles to matters of the first importance. 分析：该句中，四个现在分词短语构成并列结构，做状语。对前面的表语从句进行补充说明。 译文：那就是为什么妇女一生都不成熟：从来都只看见眼前的事情，都只抓住眼前的一刻，都把表面当本质，都倾心于琐事而放过至关重要的事。 8. But since the consequences of poverty are related to powerlessness, not to the absolute supply of money available to the poor, and since the amount of power purchasable with a given supply of money decreases as a society acquires a larger supply of goods and services, the solution of raising the incomes of the poor is likely, unless accompanied by other measures, to be ineffective in a wealthy society. |
