现代英语有个有趣的倾向,一些词类已不同程度地增加了自己的功能。目前并列连词不仅可置于并列复合句的第二部分的首位而且可置于与前句由句号隔开的独立句子的首位。连词的这种用法表示:连词可以确立复合句范围之外的联系情况,即是说,连词可用作表达各独立句之间的一定的意义关系的语 There is an interesting tendency in modern English and some parts of speech have added their own functions to varying degrees. At present, the conjunctions not only can be placed in the first place of the second part of the compound sentence, but also in the first place of the separate sentence separated from the preceding sentence by the period. This usage of conjunctions means that conjunctions can establish connections outside the scope of compound sentences, that is, conjunctions can be used as expressions of a certain meaning relationship between individual clauses
