4 代词和所有格形容词与代表人的neither/either连用时,从语法上说应当用he/him,she/her及his/her,但是在英语的口语中用复数形式较为普遍:
Neither of them knows the way,do they?
他们俩都不知道路,是吗?
Neither of them had brought their passports.
他们俩都没带护照。
B neithernor,either or
neither nor+肯定动词是把两个否定说法结合在一起的强
调方式:
(a)Neither threats nor arguments had any affect on him.
无论是恐吓还是讲道理对他都不起作用。
(b)They said the room was large and bright but it was neither large norbright.
他们说这间房子又大又明亮,可它既不大也不明亮。
(c)He neither wrote nor phoned.
他既没写信又没打电话。
eitheror+否定动词可代替neithernor+肯定动词结构,
但neithernor作动词主语时除外,如上述例句(a)。所以可以说:
(b)but it wasnt either large or bright.
(c)He didnt either write or phone.
eitheror不能作否定句的主语,但可作肯定句和疑问句的主语或宾语。这种用法是表示强调二者之中任何一个皆可以:
