Question

not only ..but also..的具体用法，谢谢老师~

Answer 1

用法如下：
1. not only … but also 应连接两个相对称的并列成分。
例如：
Not only Mr Lin but also his son joined the Party two years ago. (连接两个主语)
I not only play tennis but also practise shooting. (连接两个谓语动词)
He plays not only the piano but also the violin. (连接两个宾语)
They speak English not only in class but also in the dormitory. (连接两个地点状语)

注 1 ： She not only sings well but also dances beautifully. = She doesn’t only sing well but also dances beautifully.
注 2 ：句子 He not only plays the piano but also the violin 不是好的文体，因为 but also 之后的成分与 not only 之后的成分不对称。

2. not only … but also 连接两个分句，并且 not only 位于句首时，第一个分句中的主语和谓语要部分倒装。例如：
Not only does the sun give us light but also it gives us heat.
Not only did he speak English correctly，but also he speaks it fluently.
Not only is this young man clever but also he is hardworking.

3. not only … but also 不能用在否定句中。例如：
误： 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 连接两个主语时，谓语动词要和与其最近的主语保持人称和数的一致。
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.

5. not only … but also 中的 not only 不能分开使用，但 but also 却可以分开使用。例如：
The area was not only hit by an unexpected heavy rain， but some bridges were also washed away.

6. not only … but also 连接两个并列成分时，可以省略 but 或 also ，也可以把 but also 都省略掉。例如：
I not only heard it but ( also ) saw it.
He was not only compelled to stay at home， ( but ) also forbidden to see his friend.
She not only finished the task ahead of time， ( but also ) she came to help us.

7. 也可用 but … too / as well 替代 not only … but also 中的 but also .例如：
She not only sang well but danced gracefully too ( or as well )

8. 也可以用 besides， furthermore， moreover， in addition 等替代 not only … but also 中的 but also .例如：
Not only was there no food， but also (或 furthermore， besides， moreover， in addition ) there was no water.

9. 也可用 merely， just， simply 等替代 not only … but also 中的 only .例如：
They not merely ( or just， simply ) broke into his office and stole his books but also tore up his manuscripts.

10. not only A but also B = B as well as A， 但前者的强调重点在 B ;后者的强调重点也在 B .(汉译时，要先译 as well as 后面的词)
例如：
The child is not only healthy but also lively. ( = The child is lively as well as healthy. )这孩子既健康又活泼。
It concerns not only me but also you. ( = It concerns you as well as me. )
这件事不但与我有关，而且也与你有关。

Answer 2

Not only…but also是英语中较为常见的一个关联词组。由于它的用法比较复杂，本文拟对其用法及其使用中应注意的问题作一归纳。

一、主要用法

1．连接主语：

Not only I but also Tom and Mary are fond of watching television.

不仅我，而且汤姆和玛丽都喜欢看电视。

由于not only A but also B句式的重点在B上，所以谓语动词一般要与B保持人称和数的一致。例如：

但是，1992年第6期《英语学习》问答栏主持人刘承沛教授认为B为单数时动词也可用复数，因为根据意念原则”（principle of notion）主语并列具有复数意义，故下面一句成立：“Not only she but (also) her brother like playing the piano.”

2．连接谓语动词

The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs.英国人和美国人不但语言相同，而且有很多相同的风俗习惯。

注意not only…but also连接的动词一般不重复，这与汉语不同。如汉语说“我不仅懂英语，而且懂俄语”，英语则说“I know not only English but also Russian”，而不说“I not only know English but also know Russian”.再如：“气体不仅改变形状，而且改变体积”，英译为“A gas changes not only in shape but also in volume.”（注意介词常重复）

Answer 3

不但，，，而且 的意思。
例如：The hamburger not only smells good but also tastes delicious.这个汉堡不但气味好闻而且味道好吃。
She was not only extremely intelligent but also very practical .她不仅绝顶聪明，而且非常务实。
关键看它用在哪里，如果修饰形容词，就用在BE动词后，如果修饰动词，就用在动词前面。but aslo后面可以省略前面重复的部分。

Answer 4

不仅。。。。而且。。。。。。
一般用在句首。《前半句和后半句》，中间用逗号隔开，后面but的B要大写。

Answer 5

不仅。。。而且。。。（中文意思）
可以接主语也可以接谓语动词
