2016年雅思閱讀備考輔導(dǎo)并列詞的活用
并列信號(hào)詞
閱讀中碰到復(fù)雜的大并列時(shí),先看連詞后面的內(nèi)容。如果連詞后面是動(dòng)詞,回上文找并列的動(dòng)詞;如果是形容詞,就回上文找形容詞性的并列成分,包括_ing分詞和_ed分詞。表示并列關(guān)系的信號(hào)詞有:and,or,as well as,either----or; neither ---nor; not only---but also; rather than 等。
例1:The modern city consists of monstrous edifices and of narrow, dark streets full of petrol fumes and toxic gases, torn by the noise of the taxicabs lorries and buses, and thronged ceaselessly by great crowds.
例2:Many people stay at jobs they are too old for rather than meet possible rejection.
分析 rather than 的后項(xiàng)是動(dòng)詞meet,因此并列的前項(xiàng)也是動(dòng)詞,即stay.
