encourage 和 support 都是及物动词,共用一个宾语。前面用and, 则二个动词共用宾语就很清楚。如果没有encourage前的and, 四个谓语动词句式为:A,B,C and D. 读者会意为C (即encourage)是不及物动词,没有宾语。有了这个and, 谓语动词为 A,B,and C and D, 读者就会把C和D结合起来理解,即二者共用一个宾语。
The UN, in handling Africa-related issues, needs to respect the will of the African people, enlist the AU and other regional and sub-regional organizations in Africa, and encourage and support Africa’s own initiatives and solutions.
老师您好,请问 and encourage and support 为什么要两个and,我理解第一个and可以省略吧。另外,respect,enlist,encourage,support是and连接的主句的并列谓语动词,对吗?
谢谢!
