九、平行结构
1.注意比较结构中相比较的内容在语法形式上是否相同。如:
It is better to die on one’s feet than to live on one’s knees.Despite the temporary difficulties, the manager prefers increasing the output to decreasing it.2.其他具有并列或比较意义的短语。
(1)rather than, let alone 虽不是并列连词,但在结构上连接两个语法形式相同的成分。如:
We are taught that a busine letter should be written in a formal style rather than in a personal style.For the new country to survive, let alone for its people to enjoy prosperity, new economic policies will be required.(2)如果平行的两个成分在形式上是介词短语,而且介词相同,一般说来第二个介词不要省略。如:
At times, more care goes into the composition of newspaper and magazine advertisements than into the writing of the features and editorials.
