什么叫并列復合句

所謂并列復合句，就是指并列句中的兩個分句中又內含從句，或者說就是含有復合句的并列句。如：

The policeman looked at me suspiciously. 那警察用懷疑的眼光看著我。（簡單句）

He asked me what I wanted. 他問我要干什么。（復合句，其中的的 what 引導賓語從句）

The policeman looked at me suspiciously, and he asked me what I wanted. 那警察用懷疑的眼光看著我，于是問我要干什么。（并列復合句；and 連接兩個分句構成并列句，但 and 后面又是一個含有賓語從句的復合句）

又如（注意黑體字部分）：

He is my friend and that’s why I have accepted the task. 他是我的朋友，因此我才接受了這個任務。

Of course, they couldn’t see with their eyes, but they thought that by touching him they could learn just what kind of animal he was. 他們當然不能用眼看，但他們想通過觸摸也可以辨認出它到底是一種什么動物。
