核心问题
The road is good and long. 这个句子是否可以译为“这条路又好又长”？
词典解答
如同 nice and ..., lovely and ... 结构一样, good and ... 表面上看起来是个并列结构, 实际上, 第一个形容词并不起形容词的作用(也就是说, 它并不做主语的表语), 而起强化语的作用, 加强第二个形容词(或副词) 的语义并给它添加褒义:
-
I didn't like the speech, but at least it was nice and short. (LDCE) 我不喜欢这个演说，但是它倒是挺简短的。
-
It was lovely and cool in there. (CGEL) 在那里边是很凉爽的。
-
We flew nice and low. (LDCE) 我们飞得很低很低地。
-
I hit him good and hard. (CGEL) 我重重地打了他。
a good deal 见 a great deal
