成对词的运用
成对词即把两个相关的词或同一个词用and或or连接起来的词组。它们常出现再口语或非正式书面语中,是人们再长期的语言交际中约定俗成的。看下面的实例:
1. We should serve the people heart and soul.我们应该全心全意地为人民服务。
2. The missing child came back safe and sound.那个失踪地孩子安然无恙地回来了。
3. They quarreled last night and this morning she left, bag and baggage.昨夜他们吵架了,今天早晨她收拾起自己的东西就走了。
4. After the fight, he was black and blue all over.搏斗结束后,他遍体鳞伤。
5. It is no wonder that counselors of battered women are inclined to advise a black-and- blue wife for divorce.怪不得被打妇女的律师们一般都劝告被打得鼻青脸肿的妻子离婚。
6. The man threatened to beat the boy black and blue for stealing.那人恐吓要把偷东西得孩子打得遍体鳞伤。
7. She black-and-blued my legs so badly, I told her Id go tell the police.她把我得腿打得青一块紫一块,我对她说我要去报警。
在句4中,black and blue 起形容词作用,作表语;在句中起形容词作用,充当定语;在句6中起副词作用,作状语;在句7中起动词作用,作谓词。
下面介绍是出对词的组成特点:
1. 头韵:押头的成对词不仅起到加强形容的作用,而且读起来丁当悦耳,富有诗意。
