导读：略带忧郁，早晨的阴影和黄昏的阴影，几乎连接在一起，不可分别，岁云将暮，终日黄昏，我就在这么一天，到西敏寺去散步了几个小时。 Version A adopts
略带忧郁，早晨的阴影和黄昏的阴影，几乎连接在一起，不可分别，岁云将暮，终日黄昏，我就在这么一天，到西敏寺去散步了几个小时。
Version A adopts long sentences，but it seems wordy，oracular and tedious； while in Version B phrauses and longer sentences merge into a vivid and colorful picture.
Furthermore，stylistic specialty of the original message is of primary consideration in the application of paratactic phrause multipler.More or less phrauses displays a classical flavor，which，if not properly used，may turn antiquated and unsuitable.
Example 14：
(1) A school of minnows swam by，each minnows with its small individual shadows，doubling the attendance，so clear and sharp in the sunlight.
(2) 潭中鱼可百许头，皆若空游无所依，日光下澈，影布石上……
These two sentences share the same subject and point of view as well as descriptive words，producing nearly equivalent effects.However，if sentence (1) is translated as sentence (2)，it shall not be acceptable even because the former is modern prose while the latter is ancient Chinese prose.
Generally in modern prose it will be better to avoid long passage of paratactic phrause multipler.Yet sometimes it can be adopted to produce unique rhetoric effects.
Ⅴ.Conclusion
Paratactic phrause multipler is a typical Chinese structure.It reflects the characters of Chinese sentences——diffusive，paratactic，flexible and more or less dynamic.It has found application in various situations，which may contribute to the goodness of translation.
