UKiset语法学习：not only but also的用法

　　UKiset剑桥英语不仅考听力和写作，还有词汇和阅读，但根据以往同学的考试成绩来看，听力和写作是国内考生比较容易失分的地方。Not only…but also是UKiset英语试题中比较常见的一个关联词组，用于连接两个表示并列关系的成分，着重强调后者。它的意思是“不仅 … 而且 ...”；其中的also有时可以省略。

　　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。

　　Not only Jim but also his wife saw her.

　　不但吉姆而且他妻子也见到了她。

　　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）

　　3．连接宾语：

　　The problem for the recipient was trying to guess not only who the sender was, but also what his secret feelings might be.

　　收信人不仅要尽力猜出是谁的，还要推测寄信人内心有什么想法。

　　4．连接宾语补足语：

　　Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.

　　浅色和鲜艳的颜色不但使人看了高兴，也会使人更加活泼。

　　5．连接表语：

　　Shakespeare was not only a writer but (also) an actor。

　　莎士比亚不仅是一位剧作家，而且是一位演员。

　　6．连接状语：

　　If your friend reminds you kindly of your faults, take what he says not merely pleasantly but thank fully.

　　如果低你的朋友善意地指明出你的缺点，你不但要欣然接受，而且要心怀感激之情。

　　7．连接从句：

　　He didn't let us off the hook until we had proved not only that we knew what an organism was but also that we had the fortitude to stand up for the truth.

　　直到我们证明了我们不仅知道什么是生物体，而且具有坚持真理的不屈不挠精神时，他这才放过我们。

　　8．连接定语：

　　Man has become master not only of the sky but also of the space. 人类不但征服了天空，而且征服了太空。

　　9．连接句子：

　　I not only heard it, but (also) I saw it.

　　我不仅听到、而且看到了它。

　　Not only…but also连接句子时, not only 可以置于句首表示强调,这时第一分句要采用倒装结构。例如：

　　Not only has he a first-class brain but also he is a tremendously hard worker.

　　他不仅有着头等聪明的脑子，而且工作很能吃苦。

　　Not only had the poor man been arrested but he had been sent to prison as well.

　　这个可怜的人不仅被逮捕，而且被投进监狱。

　　10．用于 it is…that 强调结构

　　It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.

　　我们不但要对我们所做的事负责，而且要对我们没有去做的事负责。

　　二、not only…but的省略及其变体

　　1．Not only…but also中的also可以省略。有人认为该句型所连接的第二部分最高级形容词或它所表示的范围、程度、影响等超过第一部分时，常将also省略。例如：

　　He was not only a successful writer but (also) the greatest poet of his time.

　　他不仅是一位成功的作家，而且是他那个时代最伟大的诗人。

　　He is famous not only in China but (also) in the whole world. 他不仅闻名中国，而且闻名全球。

　　2.not only…but also句型一般只省略also,但在连接句子时，有时也可见到省略but甚至but also的情形。例如：

　　Not only was I tired, I was also cold.

　　我不光困倦，还感到很冷。（省去了but）

　　3. not only…but also的形式比较固定，但也会出现but与also被分隔开来的情形。例如：

　　Not only the mother but the children are also sick.

　　不仅母亲，而且孩子们也生病了。

　　Not only is his right lung affected but his left lung is also.

　　他不但右肺被感染，而且左肺也被感染了。

　　4.not only A but also B的替代式常见的还有not only A but B…as well, not only A but B too, not merely A but also B, not just A but also B, not…alone…but 等。例如：

　　Not only my mother was unhappy, but Mary, too.

　　不但我妈妈不高兴，玛丽也不高兴。
