和 Explanation: It’d help to know the context in order to be accurate. However, I thought my back translation and comments below may help you decide. First, a back translation: and media. say “play”, then say artist(’s) and album(‘s) or song(’s) name, and/then/as well as say “play playlist”, then say playlist‘s name. and/as well as channel scan. In general, 和 and 并且 both mean “and”/”as well as”, which can be used interchangeably in sentences for variety. However, I think the latter (并且) should be used where sentences are concerned - to illustrate this, when I speak Chinese, I can say “orange 和 chocolate” but not “orange 并且apple” but I could say (note this is a simplistic example for illustration) “He ate an apple并且(he) ate a piece of chocolate” or “He ate an apple和 (he) ate a piece of chocolate”. By the way, “以及” means “as well as”/”and” as well. I hope the above helps. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2014-03-14 19:53:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You're welcome, Gina. Hopefully the back translation helps - Oh, 并且can also be understood as "further" in the above. By the way, syntactically the original translation seems OK to me. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2014-03-19 22:29:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hello Gina, yes I think it ( "并且” ) can be removed.
