Neither nor 倒装句详解
掌握英语中“既不……也不……”结构的倒装用法
什么是 Neither...Nor...?
“Neither...nor...” 是英语中用于连接两个否定成分的并列连词,表示“既不……也不……”。当它引导的句子位于句首时,常引起主谓倒装。
Normal: I don’t like coffee, and I don’t like tea.
With neither...nor...: Neither do I like coffee nor do I like tea.
倒装规则说明
当 “Neither” 或 “Nor” 单独出现在句首,表示前一句的否定情况也适用于另一主语时,句子需使用部分倒装:
- 助动词 / 情态动词 + 主语 + 动词原形
- 若无助动词,则根据时态添加 do/does/did
She can’t swim. → Neither can he.
He didn’t go to school. → Nor did she.
注意:在正式书面语中,“Neither...nor...” 连接两个主语时,谓语动词通常与靠近它的主语保持一致(就近原则)。
常见例句
- Neither has she called me, nor has she replied to my email.
- Neither do they understand the problem, nor do they care.
- He doesn’t eat meat. → Neither do I.
- They won’t attend the meeting. → Nor will we.
小测验
选择正确的倒装句:
