我们知道,中英一大区别在于,英文中存在“主谓一致”问题,即要求句子中的主语和谓语动词在“人称”和“数”方面保持一致。
但若是并列结构作主语,谓语动词又当如何呢?并列结构作主语,主谓一致问题通常要分为以下几种情况:
1. and/ both...and
(1)若意义为复数,则谓语用复数。
Both Lucy and her mother like going 1 shopping. 路西和她妈妈都爱购物。
(2)若并列结构不是指两个或以上的人/物,则谓语用单数。
Egg and rice is her usual 2 breakfast. 她早上通常吃蛋炒饭。
(3)并列结构中有each, every或many a等限定词,谓语一律用单数。
Every boy and every girl in this class is good at English.
这个班每个男生女生英语都很好。
2. or/ nor/ either 4...or
由or/ nor/ either...or连接的并列结构,主谓通常遵循“就近原则”。
Either my parents or my brother is at home. 要么我爸妈在家,要么我哥哥在家。
3. as 3 much as
若主语后面跟着由as much as, rather 5 than, more than, no less 6 than等引导的从属结构,谓语根据主语本身单复数而定。
His brother rather than his parents is at home. 是他哥哥而不是他爸妈在家。
4. as well as
若主语后面跟着as well as, in addition 7 to, with, along 8 with, together with 等引导的词组时,谓语动词取决于主语本身。
The boy, together with his parents, is visiting the museum.
这个男孩和他父母正在参观博物馆。
由上可知,并不是所有并列结构都是两个或以上的复数概念!因此,当并列结构作主语时,谓语切不可主观采取“一刀切”的方法,而是要具体问题具体分析。
