这个句子的子句可不可以用逗号连接
是说维多利亚女王的.
As the mother of a rapidly expanding family,Victoria might have been expected to know that if the cult of progress was to make britain not just a great nation but a good one,be a home maker not a home-breaker,it would fall to our women to see us through the painful change to an industial society,safe and sound.这一句中的 be a home maker not a home-breaker,是前一句动词was 的宾语,作为和make britain not just a great nation but a good one并列的子句,它为什么要用逗号隔开,不是应该用and连接吗?例如这个句子：我随便写的
I want to do my homework and help my mother look after my brother.这个句子可不可以写成I want to do my homework,help my mother look after my brother.

Answer 1

be a home maker not a home-breaker是和make britain not just a great nation but a good one并列的.
用逗号隔开是为了方便读者更容易分辨出这个句子的结构.如果用and的话,也可以.不过容易让读者在忒长的句子中找不着北.
如果你用心发现的话,英美本土作家在写长句子的时候,会尽量用标点符号来拆分主句,分句.而不是想很多英文初学者一样不停的用which,that,who来连接从句.
