Unit3 Tomorrow’s World單元學案

2、not only…but also句型一般只可以省略also，但在連接句子時，有時也可見到省略but甚至but also的情形。例如：not only was i tired, i was also cold. 我不光困倦，還感到很冷。（省去了but）since moisture is needed for rain, dry air in the morning not only allows the spider to get an early start, is also means a dry day.  有了濕度才會下雨，因此，早晨空氣干燥不僅使蜘蛛早點開始結網，而且意味著這一天不會下雨。(省去了but)not only has she been an excellent wife, she has been a better husband than i’ll never be. 她不僅是一個極其出色的妻子，而且是一個我永遠也做不到的好丈夫。(省去了but also)3、not only…but also的形式比較固定，但也會出現but與also被分開的情形。例如：not only the mother but the children are also sick. not only is his right lung affected but his left lung is also. 4、not only a but also b的替代式常見的還有not only a but b …as well, not only a but b too, not merely a but also b, not just a but also b, not…alone. ..but等。例如：in jurisprudence it is a well-known principle that justice should not merely be done but should also be seen to be done. 在法理學方面，人所共知的原則是：對受害者不僅應該公正對待，而且應當讓人們看到他得到了公正的對待。not poets alone, nor artists, nor that superior order of mind which arrogates to itself all refinement, feel this, but dogs and all men. 不僅使人，藝術家以及那些自命不凡、思想杰出的人覺得如此，連狗和普通人也有同感。三、其他注意事項：1、“not only a but also b”結構中的a和b通常是同等成分。由于同一成分常常由同一詞類的詞來擔任，所以a 與b 常常也是同一詞性，但是，也有a與b屬于不同詞性的情形。例如：“he is not only very clever, but also a very hard worker, and he likes to do everything well.”（他不但聰明，而且能下功夫。他喜歡把每件事都做得很好。）其中a是形容詞，b是名詞，但兩者均在句中作表語，因此仍是正確的句子。然而，在“he not only plays the piano, but also the violin.”一句中，a是動詞，b是名詞，不是同一成分，因此語法學家認為此句有點欠妥，至少在書面語中就是如此。如改為“he plays not only the piano, but also the violin.”就無懈可擊了，再看下面的例子：the surprise grant not only enabled dad to finish a&t, but to graduate first in his class. 這筆意外的獎學金不僅是我的父親能讀完農業和技術學院，而且畢業成績名列榜首。2、有人認為，not only…but also 不能用于否定句。漢語中用于否定句中的“不但…而且”在英語中要用as well as表示。如“不但我不想看戲，而且他也不想看戲”可譯作“he, as well as i, doesn’t want to see the play. ”不過，這條規則也有例外，請看下面的例子:not only don’t i know the population of nepal, i don’t know where in god’s world it is!
