2 yes and no还是yes or no

Did Nielsen then feel content in his career? Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing the comedy that he always felt he should do, but even during his last few years, he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the corner. He never stopped working, never retired.

上面一段出自2021年高考英语浙江卷的阅读理解A。为什么用的是 yes and no,平时总是听老师说 yes or no

yes and no yes or no 都可以说,但意思不同:

yes and no 的意思是“既是又不是”“既同意又不同意”“既满意又不满意”等,表示情况复杂,难以给出明确态度或答复,有时相当于汉语的“说不准”。如:

Were you angry?—Well, yes and no. 你生气吗?——既生气也不生气。

Are you happy with your job?—Yes and no. 对你的工作还满意吗?——满意又不满意。

Did it come as a surprise to you?—Yes and no. 这对你来说是意外吗?——既意外也不意外。

Are you enjoying it?—Yes and no. 你喜欢这个吗?——不好说。

Was it strange for you, going back after such a long absence?—Yes and no. 那么长时间不在,然后又回来,你会觉得陌生吗?——既陌生又不陌生。

Were you surprised?—Well, yes and no. I knew they were planning something, but I wasn’t sure what. 你觉得惊讶吗?——嗯,既惊讶又不惊讶。我知道他们在计划着什么,但又不确定是什么。

Have you got a car?—Well, yes and no. We have, but it’s not working at the moment. 你们有车吗?——还真难说了。我们有一辆,不过现在坏了。

yes or no 的意思是“是或者不是”“同意或者不同意”“行或者不行”等,表示在 yes no 当中选择一个。如:

Yes or no? Give me an answer. 同意还是不同意? 给我一个答案。

I need a simple yes or no. 我只需要一个简单的的回答。

She won’t say yes or no; she is being cagey. 她既不会同意也不会不同意;她很谨慎。

Yes or no, you must answer this question. 不论是与否,你总得回答这个问题。

Can’t you give me a straight yes or no? 你能不能给我一个直截了当的答复,行还是不行?

有时用于 either yes or no。如:

You must answer either yes or no. 你必须回答是或者不是。

Answer these questions with either Yes or No. 不是回答这这些问题。
