四道易错连词语法题分析

1. I’m sorry, _____ I won’t be able to come tonight.

A. for                                                     B. and

C. but                                                   D. then

【陷阱】容易误选A,因为空格后的句子是用以说明 I’m sorry 的原因的,所以便想当然地认为要选for来表示原因。

【分析】事实上,I’m sorry 后习惯上不接表示原因的连词 for,而接表示转折的连词 but(也可省略 but),用以委婉地提出一个使对方不快的事实。又如:

Oh, sorry, but she’s out. 哦,不好意思,她出去了。

I’m sorry, but I have to disagree. 对不起,我不敢苟同。

I’m sorry, but I have already had another appointment. 对不起,我已经有约会了。

注:I’m sorry 后虽然不能接表原因的连词for,但却可接介词 for。如:

I’m sorry for shouting at you. 对不起冲你嚷嚷了。

I am sorry for what I said to you. 我后悔不该对你讲那些话。

2. The point is not who said the words, _____ they are true or not.

A. but whether                                    B. and whether

C. but how                                           D. and how

【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能误选。

【分析】最佳答案为A。此题涉及两个搭配:一是 not … but …(不是……而是……),二是 whether … or not (是否)。请看类例:

He was not an actor, who often appeared on stage, _____ a writer, writing stories.

A. but                                                    B. and

C. then                                                 D. so

答案选A,主要考查 not … but … 结构。

3. Just because they make more money than I do, _____ they seem to look down on me.

A. so                                                     B. and

C. but                                                   D. 不填

【陷阱】但容易误选A,将汉语的“因为……所以……”直译为 because … so …。

【分析】此题正确答案为D,但是按英语语法,because 为从属连词,用以引导原因状语从句,它表明整个句子为复合句;而 so 在表示“所以”时,它是并列连词,用以连接两个简单句使之成为并列句。由于在同一句中既用了从属连词 because,又用了并列连词 so,使得该句一半像复合句,一半像并列句,从而导致错误。正确的做法是,任意去掉 because 和 so 中的一个,使之要么成为复合句,要么成为并列句。

4. When the last prize had been awarded _____ everybody cleared off.

A. and                                                  B. so

C. or                                                      D. 不填

【陷阱】容易想当然地误选A。

【分析】句首 when 引导的是一个时间状语从句,它暗示整个句子为复合句;而so, and, or 为并列连词,无论选哪一个,都表明整个句子为并列句,从而导致前后矛盾,所以A、B、C均不能选择。此题正确答案选D,everybody cleared off 为整个复合句的主句。请看类似例子:

(1) If wishes were horses, _____ beggars would ride.

A. and                                                  B. so

C. or                                                      D. 不填

(2) If I’m mistaken, _____ you are mistaken too.

A. so                                                     B. and

C. or                                                      D. 不填

(3) Just before I left London, _____ I sent him a telegram.

A. and                                                  B. so

C. or                                                      D. 不填

(4) After they had each said a few words, _____ Lloyd George took the floor.

A. and                                                  B. so

C. or                                                      D. 不填

答案均选D,空格前分别为 if, when, before, after 引导的状语从句,空格后为整个复合句的主句。
