除了做并列连词之外,or还可以作为选择连词出现,意思是"否则"。比如:I must study hard, or I'll fail in the exam./Overtake it or miss it for ever.

在表示选择关系的连词中,either...or是非常重要的,它的意思是"或者......或者......"。比如:Either you or I am rational./Either you tell him the truth, or I do it.还可以单独使用either,其意为"两者中的任何一个"。如:There are many hotels on either side of the street.

使用either...or这一连词的时候,要注意谓语动词采用就近原则。比如:Either you or I am right./When the girl is cheerful, she either sings or dances.在后一句子中,either...or...连接两个动词,因为主语是单数第三人称,所以谓语动词要用其相应的形式。

由于either...or...连接两个主语时,其谓语动词采取"就近原则"。如:Either you or I am going there tomorrow.所以,如果把这一句子变成一般疑问句时,要注意助动词形式与主语you保持一致,要用are提问而不是am: Are either you or I going there tomorrow?

英文习语--Chip on one's shoulder
Chip可以是"薯片",也可以是"木屑"的意思。那么,Chip on one's shoulder是解作"肩膀上有薯片"吗?其实,Chip on one's shoulder是指心情很坏而想找别人麻烦,并准备随时与别人吵嘴或打架的样子。所以,如果说"John likes arguing with everyone as he always has a chip on his shoulder.",意思是"John时常很容易生气,所以他常常与别人吵嘴"。
