单词 | neither |
释义 | neither/ˈnaɪðə(r)], [ˈniːðə(r)//ˈniːðər/ ★★★★★adv. adv
pron
adj
用法(1)neither为与both相对的全否定用语, 所以像 Neither of the three boys stayed there. 这种表三者以上的否定句,应该说 None of the three boys stayed there. 才适当。 (2)neither原则上是当单数用,但在 【口】 ,尤其是of之后接复数(代)名词时,可当复数用。 (3)i)neither ... nor ...为与 both ... and ...相对的否定表现法, 其动词通常与后者的主词符合: Neither he nor I am the right person for the post. (他或我都不是这个职位的适当人选) Neither riches nor good luck works such a miracle. (不管是财富或是好运都不会产生这种奇迹) 不过这种说法可改为: He is not the right person for the post, nor am I. Riches do not work such a miracle, nor does good luck. ii)neither ... nor ...应接相同的词类或同一构造的词组,因此像底下这种说法是不适当的: They neither have (a) knowledge nor (an) understanding of music. iii)有时可用以否定三个以上的项目: He neither drinks, smokes, nor gambles. (他既不喝酒、抽烟,也不赌博) |
