英语语法之and和or的辨析

1) 并列结构中,or通常用于否定句,and用于肯定句。

2) 但有时and 也可用于否定句。请注意其不同特点:

There is no air or water in the moon.

There is no air and no water on the moon.

在否定中并列结构用or 连接,但含有两个否定词的句子实际被看作是肯定结构,因此要用and。

典型例题

---I don't like chicken ___ fish.

---I don't like chicken, ___ I like fish very much.

A. and; and B. and; butC. or; butD. or;and

答案C。否定句中表并列用or, but 表转折。

判断改错:

(错) We will die without air and water.

(错) We can't live without air or water.

(对) We will die without air or water.

(对) We can't live without air and water.
