  英語not only„but also„的用法

一、連接對稱結構

not only„but also„是一對非常有用的關聯連詞,其意爲“不僅„„而且„„”“不但„„而且„„”,通常用於連接兩個相同的句子成分,即所謂的“對稱結構”。如:

1. 連接主語

Not only you but also I am hungry. 不只你,我也餓了呢。

Not only men but also women were chosen. 不僅僅是男的,女的也有被選中的。 Not only the students but also their teacher is enjoying the film. 不僅學生們在欣賞這部影片,他們的老師也在欣賞這部影片。

2. 連接謂語

She not only plays well, but also writes music. 她不僅很會演奏,而且還會作曲。 He not only read the book, but also remembered what he read. 他不僅讀過這本書,還記得內容。

She not only sings like an angel, but also dances divinely. 她不但唱歌唱得像天使一樣,而且跳舞也跟天仙一般。

3. 連接表語

He is not only arrogant but also selfish. 他不但傲慢,而且自私。

The place was not only cold, but also damp. 那個地方不但很冷而且很潮溼。

Certain poisons, used as medicines in small quantities, prove not only innocuous, but beneficial. 某些毒品,如少量用作藥品,證明不但無毒,而且有益。

4. 連接賓語

She likes not only music but also sport. 她不但喜歡音樂而且喜歡運動。

If this project fails it will affect not only our department, but also the whole organization. 要是這個方案不成功,這不僅不會影響我們這個部門,而且會影響整個組織。

5. 連接定語

There are problems not only with the students, but also withthe teachers themselves. 不但學生們有難題,教師們自己也有。

6. 連接狀語

We go there not only in winter, but also in summer. 我們不僅冬天去那兒,而且夏天也去。

He works not only on weekdays but on Sundays as well. 他不僅平時工作,星期日也工作。

They landed up not only having to apologize but also offering to pay. 他們最後不但同意道歉,而且還要付款。

二、連接非對稱結構

但在實際運用中,該結構有時不完全遵循“連接相同句子成分”的用法而出現一些非對稱結構。這類用法主要有以下幾類:

1. 因承前省略而導致的不對稱

(1) He not only goes to work on weekdays, but also on weekends. 他不僅工作日去上班,在週末也去上班。

句中的not only後接的是謂語goes to,而but also後接的卻是狀語 on weekends,可視爲but also後承前省略了謂語動詞 goes to work。

(2) She not only plays the piano, but also the violin. 他不僅彈鋼琴,而且還拉小提琴。 句中的not only後爲謂語動詞,而but also後接的是名詞,實爲動詞plays的賓語,可視爲在but also後承前省略了謂語動詞plays。

(3) Her charm not only consists in her beauty but also in her self-confidence. 她的魅力不僅在於她的美貌,而且在於她的自信。

可視爲but also後承前省略了consists。

2. 因強調導致不對稱

有時爲了強調,not only„but also„連接的兩個成分也可能是“不對稱”的,這類用法尤其見於not only後接的是句子的一個部分,而but卻用於句中“連接”一個句子(其後的句中可能出現also,也可能省略also)。如:

(1) It’s not only useless to trouble him but it is needless to do so. 去麻煩他不僅沒有用而且沒有必要。

(2) He’s not only very fast, but he’s also got marvellous technique. 他不僅很快,而且技術高超。

(3) His headache and fatigue not only subsided, but, what is more, his craving for alcohol disappeared. 不但他的頭疼和疲勞減累輕了,而且他嗜酒的毛病也消失了。 這類用法有時也可能會省略but後面的主語,而保留其後的謂語。如:

(4) The film was not only amusing, but gave a valuable moral lesson. 這部電影不但逗人,而且也上了一堂有價值的道德教育課。(句子後半部分可視爲but it gave a valuable moral lesson之省略)

(5) She was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable. 這艘輪船不僅是造船史上建造的最大的一艘船,而且也被認爲是不會沉沒的。(句子後半部分可視爲but she was regarded as unsinkable之省略)
