GMAT語法《NOT ONLY…BUT ALSO…》的用法

“NOT ONLY…BUT ALSO…”是表示“不僅……而且……”的意思，那麼他在句子中要怎麼使用呢?下面是小編整理的關於NOT ONLY…BUT ALSO…的語法知識，歡迎閲讀!

　　NOT ONLY…BUT ALSO…

看了GWD8-20, 以前的NN討論的的太好了,可是藏的太深,很多人都看不見, 後來又看了好些的帖子,,收益良多.所以我把大家觀點總結一下,

首先Not only… (also)表示的關係是遞進, 其中also可以省略

But/but also表示的是轉折. 在but also中, ring_cheng認為also不屬於重複, 所以應當保留.該觀點尚未證實.

not only also表示並列，不能表示轉折，不要有先入為主的感覺認為not also必須一起出現。單獨出現but also是可能的，此時表示的是轉折，參見大全74

All-terrain vehicles have allowed vacationers to reach many previously inaccessible areas, but they have also been blamed for causing hundreds of deaths, injury to thousands, and seriously damaging the nation’s recreational areas.

(A)deaths, injury to thousands, and seriously damaging

(B)deaths and injuring thousands, and serious damage to

(C)deaths, thousands who are injured, as well as seriously damaging

(D)deaths and thousands of injuries, as well as doing serious damage to (D)

(E)deaths, thousands are injured, and they do serious damage to

關於not only…but also.. 的用法,我根據前人的發言並結合GMAT的.思路挑出了這幾條:

　　1.在正常語序中: not only … but also 應連接兩個相對稱的並列成分。例如：

Not only Mr Lin but also his son joined the Party two years ago. (連接兩個主語)

I not only play tennis but also practise shooting. (連接兩個謂語動詞)

He plays not only the piano but also the violin. (連接兩個賓語)

在正常語序中: 短語本身不可以加入其它成份，比如變成：not it also...是錯誤的(因為破壞了平衡)。

如大全中：

winds that howl across the Great Plains not only blow away valuable topsoil, thereby reducing the potential crop yield of a tract of land, and also damage or destroy young plants.

(A)and also damage or destroy

(B)as well as damaging or destroying

(C)but they also cause damage or destroy

(D)but also damage or destroy(D)

(E)but also causing damage or destroying

Choice D, the best answer, correctly employs the correlative construction not only x but also y, where x and y are grammatically parallel and where both x and y (damage and destroy)apply to young plants. Choices A, (not only... and also), B (not only... as well as), and C (not only... but they also)violate the not only... but also paradigm. Moreover, B contains terms (blow... damaging)that are not parallel. In C and E, damage is used not as a verb with young plants as its direct object but as a noun receiving the action of cause; consequently, these choices fail to state explicitly that the damage is done to young plants. E also violates parallelism (not only blow... but also causing)

　　2. not only … but also 連接兩個主語時，謂語動詞要和與其最近的主語保持人稱和數的一致。例如：

Not only the students but also the teacher was against the plan. / Not only the teacher but also the students were against the plan.

　　3. not only … but also 不能用在否定句中。例如：

誤： They don't fear not only hardship but also death.

正： They fear neither hardship nor death.

正： They don't fear either hardship or death.

　　4. not only … but also 連接兩個分句，並且 not only 位於句首時，第一個分句中的主語和謂語要部分倒裝。例如：

Not only does the sun give us light, but also it gives us heat.

Not only did he speak English correctly, but he also speaks it fluently.

《新編英語語法》薄冰P633：Not only does he compose music, but he also play./ Not only does he have to type out the answer on a computer, but he also gets the computer to translate it into sounds.

《新編英語語法》章振邦1005：She was not only compelled to stay at home, but she was also forbidden to see her friends

英語語法大全上的例句是: Not only did they break into his office and steal his books, but they also tore up his manuscripts. 所以我個人認為在倒裝的情況下,but also是可以被主語拆開的.

這裏附上ring_cheng的觀點:倒裝時可以在短語中插入某類成分，如：not only did sb do sth, but sb also did sth (之所以前後都加入主語，不是為了連接主語，而是為了句子的對仗工整而補足主語，連接的其實是主語的兩個不同的謂語動作。又因為not only在句首已經倒裝過了，所以but also用正常語序即可。依然滿足句子平衡的要求).如大全354中but also被主語+助動詞拆開:

1978 a national study found that not only had many contractors licensed by a self-policing private guild failed to pass qualifying exams, they in addition falsified their references.

A. they in addition falsified their references

B. they had their references falsified in addition

C. but they had also falsified their references

D. they had also falsified their references(C)

E. but their references were falsified as well
