平行结构
Parallel Structures
平行结构(Parallel Structures)是指在同一句话中,将语法功能相同、逻辑地位相同的词、短语或从句使用相同或相近的语法形式表达。它常用于并列信息、比较关系、列举观点、学术写作和口语回答中。对于准备 PTE Academic 和 IELTS 的中国学习者来说,掌握平行结构可以显著提升句子的清晰度、逻辑性和语言自然度,尤其有助于提高 Writing 中的 grammatical range and accuracy,以及 Speaking 中的 fluency 和 coherence。

结构公式
A and B / A, B, and C;not only A but also B;either A or B;both A and B;rather than A, B;the more A, the more B
平行结构的核心原则是:并列成分在语法形式上要保持一致。如果第一个成分是名词,后面的并列成分通常也应是名词;如果第一个成分是动名词(gerund),后面也应使用动名词;如果第一个成分是不定式(to-infinitive),后面也应使用不定式;如果第一个成分是从句,后面也应保持从句结构。平行结构不仅适用于简单的 and、or、but,也常见于 not only...but also、either...or、both...and、rather than、as well as 等连接结构中。在学术英语中,平行结构能帮助考生更准确地表达原因、结果、对比、趋势和解决方案。
The policy aims to reduce pollution, improve public health, and promote sustainable development.
该政策旨在减少污染、改善公共健康并促进可持续发展。
Students need not only academic knowledge but also practical skills.
学生不仅需要学术知识,也需要实践技能。
Online learning is flexible, accessible, and cost-effective.
在线学习灵活、易获得且具有成本效益。
使用场景
Usage Scenarios
用于列举多个观点或原因
在 IELTS Writing Task 2 和 PTE Essay 中,考生经常需要列举多个原因、影响或解决方案。使用平行结构可以让观点更整齐、更有逻辑,避免句子显得松散。
Urbanization can create job opportunities, stimulate economic growth, and improve access to public services.
城市化可以创造就业机会、刺激经济增长并改善公共服务的可及性。
Governments should invest in education, strengthen healthcare systems, and protect vulnerable groups.
政府应投资教育、加强医疗体系并保护弱势群体。
用于比较与对比
当句子需要比较两个对象时,平行结构可以确保比较对象一致,避免出现逻辑错误。学术写作中特别强调 comparable items,即被比较的内容必须属于同一语法和逻辑层级。
The study compares the effectiveness of online instruction with that of face-to-face teaching.
该研究比较了在线教学与面对面教学的有效性。
Public transport is often cheaper than driving a private car.
公共交通通常比驾驶私家车更便宜。
用于强调双重关系
not only...but also、both...and、either...or、neither...nor 等结构要求前后成分保持平行。这些表达在 PTE Writing 和 IELTS Writing 中可以增强句子的层次感和正式度。
This approach is not only efficient but also environmentally friendly.
这种方法不仅高效,而且环保。
The programme benefits both local residents and international students.
该项目既惠及当地居民,也惠及国际学生。
用于提升口语回答的流利度
在 PTE Describe Image、Retell Lecture 和 IELTS Speaking Part 2 中,平行结构可以帮助考生快速组织连续信息,使回答更自然、更连贯。
The chart shows a rise in production, a decline in costs, and a steady increase in profits.
该图表显示产量上升、成本下降以及利润稳步增加。
The speaker mentioned the causes of climate change, the impact on coastal cities, and the need for international cooperation.
讲话者提到了气候变化的原因、其对沿海城市的影响以及国际合作的必要性。
常见错误
Common Mistakes
Incorrect
❌ The course helps students to improve grammar, writing essays, and speaking fluently.
Correct
✅ The course helps students improve grammar, write essays, and speak fluently.
错误句中并列成分分别是名词 grammar、动名词 writing 和动名词短语 speaking fluently,形式不统一。正确句使用三个动词原形 improve、write 和 speak,与 helps students 后的结构保持一致。
Incorrect
❌ The government should reduce taxes and investment in education.
Correct
✅ The government should reduce taxes and invest in education.
错误句把动词 reduce 和名词 investment 并列,导致结构不平行。正确句使用两个动词 reduce 和 invest,使两个政策行为保持同一语法层级。
Incorrect
❌ Learning a language requires patience, practice, and to communicate with others.
Correct
✅ Learning a language requires patience, practice, and communication with others.
错误句将名词 patience、practice 与不定式 to communicate 并列,形式不一致。正确句将第三项改为名词 communication,使三个并列成分都为名词。
Incorrect
❌ This solution is not only practical but also reduces costs.
Correct
✅ This solution is not only practical but also cost-effective.
not only...but also 连接的内容应保持平行。错误句中 practical 是形容词,而 reduces costs 是动词短语。正确句使用两个形容词 practical 和 cost-effective,使结构更自然。
Incorrect
❌ The data indicate that unemployment rose, inflation increased, and the economy was unstable.
Correct
✅ The data indicate that unemployment rose, inflation increased, and economic instability intensified.
错误句中前两个成分是主语加动词结构,而第三个成分是完整从句,虽然语义可理解,但学术表达不够整齐。正确句使用三个名词性主语加动词的结构,使数据描述更统一。
Incorrect
❌ Compared with 2010, the population in 2020 was higher.
Correct
✅ Compared with the population in 2010, the population in 2020 was higher.
错误句表面上是在比较年份和人口,属于比较对象不平行。正确句明确比较的是 2010 年的人口和 2020 年的人口。

AI 学习建议
AI Learning Tips
检查并列连词 and、or、but 前后的词性是否一致:名词对名词,动词对动词,形容词对形容词,从句对从句。
使用 not only...but also 时,先确定 not only 后面的语法形式,再让 but also 后面的内容与之匹配。
写 PTE Essay 时,可以有意识地使用三项并列结构,例如 reduce, improve, and promote,以增强论证的节奏感。
做 Summarize Written Text 时,如果原文包含多个并列信息,可以用平行结构压缩成一个清晰的复合句。
避免把动作和名词混合并列,例如 improve education and healthcare reform;应改为 improve education and reform healthcare,或 improvements in education and reforms in healthcare。
进行比较时要确认比较对象属于同一类别,例如不能直接比较 a city 和 population,应比较 the population of one city 和 that of another city。
