下面这句话的语法结构和,为什么并列成分之间没有and? Perhaps no other thing has such power to lift the poor out of his poverty,the wretched out of his misery,to make the burden-bearer forget his grief,the downtrodden his degradation,as books.
简化为:no other thing has such power as books. 中间的...to lift the poor...,(to lift) the wretched...,to make...,(to make) the downtrodden (forget) his degradation.都是来限定修饰power的,而且是省略句形式,不用and,而以,隔开,能形成有气势的排比,读来也朗朗上口.
