乘。过山车就在你的左边。

该句中的“祈使句 walk past... + and + 句子(常用…一般

将来时)”为一个固定句型。“祈使句 + and + 句子”，句

子中的祈使句相当于if条件状语从句。句子中的

“and”还可以用“or”。“and I / or”也可以用破折号代替。

以互换，但要注意结构和语序大不相同。例如：

[考例4](NMET 1998) 短文改错：

We must keep in mind that we play for the team instead

ourselves. (92题)

[考查目标] instead 与instead of 的区别。

[答案与解析]instead 后加of　 nstead后有反身代词，

需要介词。句子意思是“我们必须记住我们是为整个

队比赛，而不是我们自己”。
