not only...but also...用法掃描①

黑龍江 赫廣春

not only...but also...意為“不但……而且……”，是一個并列連詞詞組，常用來連接兩個并列成分。當它連接兩個并列的主語時，謂語動詞應遵循“就近原則”，即謂語動詞要與離它最近的主語在人稱和數上保持一致。例如：

Mary can not only sing but also dance.瑪麗不但會唱歌，而且還會跳舞。

Her friend plays not only the piano but also the guitar.她的朋友不但彈鋼琴，而且還彈吉他。

The girl is not only humorous but also very lively.這個女孩不但幽默而且很活潑。

Paul speaks French not only in class but also at home.保羅不但在課堂上而且在家里都說法語。

Not only you but also Tom teaches in this college.你和湯姆都在這個大學里教書。

not only...but also...側重點在but also上，有時also可以省略。例如：

I not only heard it,but(also)saw it.我不僅聽到，而且也看到了。

【注意】當not only...but also...置于句首連接兩個并列句子時，前一個句子要用倒裝形式，而but(also)后的句子仍用陳述句語序。例如：

Not only did he come late,but also he forgot his books.他不但來遲了，還忘了把書帶來。
