成对词即把两个相关的词或同一个词用and或or连接起来的词组。它们常出现再口语或非

正式书面语中，是人们再长期的语言交际中约定俗成的。看下面的实例：

1．Weshouldrvethepeopleheartandsoul.

我们应该全心全意地为人民服务。

2．Themissingchildcamebacksafeandsound.

那个失踪地孩子安然无恙地回来了。

3．Theyquarreledlastnightandthismorningsheleft,bagandbaggage.

昨夜他们吵架了，今天早晨她收拾起自己的东西就走了。

4．Afterthefight,hewasblackandblueallover.

搏斗结束后，他遍体鳞伤。

5．Itisnowonderthatcounlorsofbatteredwomenareinclinedtoadviablack-and-bluewife

fordivorce.

怪不得被打妇女的律师们一般都劝告被打得鼻青脸肿的妻子离婚。

6．Themanthreatenedtobeattheboyblackandblueforstealing.

那人恐吓要把偷东西得孩子打得遍体鳞伤。

7．Sheblack-and-bluedmylegssobadly,ItoldherI’dgotellthepolice.

她把我得腿打得青一块紫一块，我对她说我要去报警。

在句4中，blackandblue起形容词作用，作表语；在句中起形容词作用，充当定语；在句

6中起副词作用，作状语；在句7中起动词作用，作谓词。

下面介绍是出对词的组成特点：

1．头韵：押头的成对词不仅起到加强形容的作用，而且读起来丁当悦耳，富有诗意。
