在英语中,not only...but also... 是一个高频且重要的并列连词,用于强调两个并列成分,尤其是后者。它不仅是考试重点,更是提升英语表达层次的关键结构。
not only...but also... 意为“不仅……而且……”,用于连接两个语法功能相同的成分,强调后者(also 有时可省略)。
| 连接成分 | 示例 | 说明 |
|---|---|---|
| 名词 | She likes not only apples but also oranges. | 连接两个宾语 |
| 动词 | He not only sings but also dances. | 连接两个谓语动词 |
| 形容词 | The movie is not only interesting but also meaningful. | 连接两个表语 |
| 介词短语 | They traveled not only in Europe but also in Asia. | 连接两个地点状语 |
| 从句 | Not only did he finish the work, but he also helped others. | 连接两个句子(注意倒装) |
当 not only 位于句首时,其后的主句需要部分倒装(即助动词/情态动词提前),但 but also 部分不需要倒装。
| 类型 | 正确示例 | 错误示例 |
|---|---|---|
| 非倒装(正常语序) | She not only plays piano but also teaches music. | She not only plays piano but also teaches music. (无误) |
| 倒装(Not only 在句首) | Not only does she play piano, but she also teaches music. | Not only she plays piano but also teaches music. (错误:无双助动词) |
记忆技巧:Not only 开头 → 句子要倒装!类似结构还有 Never、Seldom 等否定词开头的句子。
also 可以紧贴 but,也可置于谓语动词前或句末,甚至省略(口语中常见)。但正式写作中建议保留。
| also 位置 | 示例 |
|---|---|
| but also + 名词/动词 | She is not only a writer but also a painter. |
| but + 主语 + also + 谓语 | Not only did he call, but he also sent an email. |
| also 省略 | He not only cooked but cleaned the kitchen. (= but also cleaned) |
