| 释义 | 1．关于 He cannot read (n)or write 等句，参见 nor 2 2．两个或两个以上的属于单数形式的名词，被 or 连接起来了，那动词必须是单数。例如：A man or a woman is waiting in the room. A man, a woman, or a boy is waiting in the room.和 A man or a woman or a boy is waiting in the room. 3．注意下面各句里的斜体字： Were you or he there? Was he or you there? Either he or you were there. Either you or he was there. 但这种结构往往被避免使用，上面四句可以改作： Were you, or was he there? Was he, or were you there? Either he was there, or you were. Either you were there, or he was. 4．注意下面各句里的斜体字： A boy or a girl is preparing his or her lessons. A boy or a girl is preparing his lessons. A boy or a girl is preparing their lessons. Either a boy is preparing his lessons or a girl is preparing hers. 第一句不自然，第二句不正确，第三句不合语法，第四句不简洁。这种句子最好避免。在不能避免的时候还是用第一句或第四句的好。 5．可以说 Paul had to obey his boss or resign。His boss is the kind of man Paul had to obey or resign 里的 or resign 在语法上讲不通，但合乎习惯。 6．比较下面三句： Put on more clothes, or you may catch cold. I told him that he should put on more clothes, or he might catch cold. I told him to put on more clothes, or he might catch cold. 第二句和第三句不及第一句合理，但都可以说。 |
