Combining verbs with "bing"

Revision as of 09:12, 26 November 2020 by Malihua (talk | contribs) (→‎Examples)

并 (bìng) can be used to connect verbs. In this structure the two verbs should be of equal importance.

Structure

The verb phrases in the pattern below are often two-syllable verbs, and usually somewhat formal.

In some cases, the two verb phrases on either side of 并 are of equal stress or importance. When 并 means "moreover," however, it can be replaced with 并且.

[Verb Phrase 1] + 并 + [Verb Phrase 2]

Notice that 并且 is used with verbs, unlike 和, which is used mostly with nouns.

Examples

Here are some examples:

  • 我 同意 支持 你 的 决定。Wǒ tóngyì bìng zhīchí nǐ de juédìng.I agree with and support your decision.
  • 要 继续 保持 发扬 优秀的 民族 传统。Yào jìxù bǎochí bìng fāyáng yōuxiù de mínzú chuántǒng.We will continue to maintain and carry forward our excellent national traditions.
  • 会议 讨论 通过 了 今年的 工作 计划。Huìyì tǎolùn bìng tōngguò le jīnnián de gōngzuò jìhuà.The meeting discussed and approved the work plan for this year.
  • 脱欧 后 , 英国 需要 跟 很 多 国家 进行 贸易 谈判 签订 贸易 协议 。TuōŌu Hòu, Yīngguó xūyào gēn hěn duō guójiā jìnxíng màoyì tánpàn bìng qiāndìng màoyì xiéyì.After leaving Europe, Britain will have to negotiate and sign trade agreements with many countries.
  • 当 他们 克服 了 困难 获得 成功 以后 , 他们 会 觉得 特别 有 成就感 。Dāng tāmen kèfú le kùnnan bìng huòdé chénggōng yǐhòu, tāmen huì juéde tèbié yǒu chéngjiùgǎn.When they overcome the difficulties and succeed, they will feel especially accomplished.
  • 为了 降低 贫富差距 , 政府 制定 了 新 的 政策 开始 实施 。
  • 苹果 公司 自从 1980 年 在 科克 开始 运营 , 逐步 扩大 规模 。
  • 我们 会 和 合作 公司 尽快 沟通 解决 这 件 事 。
  • 产品 经理 负责 和 工程师 合作 制定 产品 策略 。
  • 我们 希望 给 客户 提供 最 周到 的 服务 , 想到 满足 客户 每 一 个 需求 。

Rarely will a bare verb (rather than a verb phrase) appear both before and after 并且. Where this is the case the sentence will normally take the tone of an imperative, instructing someone to do something.
