【資料圖】

　　not only...but also 是英語中常見的一對連詞, 相當(dāng)中文的“不僅……而且”。Not only…but also是英語中較為常見的一個(gè)關(guān)聯(lián)詞組。由于它的用法比較復(fù)雜，本文擬對其用法及其使用中應(yīng)注意的問題作一歸納。

　　一、not only…but的主要用法

　　1.連接主語：

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

　　不僅我，而且湯姆和瑪麗都喜歡看電視。

　　2.連接賓語：

　　The problem for the recipient was trying to guess not only who the sender was, but also what his secret feelings might be.收信人不僅要盡力猜出是誰的，還要推測寄信人內(nèi)心有什么想法。

　　The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs.英國人和美國人不但語言相同，而且有很多相同的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣。

　　注意not only…but also連接的動詞一般不重復(fù)，這與漢語不同。如漢語說“我不僅懂英語，而且懂俄語”，英語則說“I know not only English but also Russian”，而不說“I not only know English but also know Russian”.再如：“氣體不僅改變形狀，而且改變體積”，英譯為“A gas changes not only in shape but also in volume.”(注意介詞常重復(fù))

　　4.連接表語：

　　Shakespeare was not only a writer but (also) an actor 莎士比亞不僅是一位劇作家，而且是一位演員。

　　5.連接賓語補(bǔ)足語：

　　7.連接從句：

　　8.連接定語：

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

　　9.連接句子：

　　I not only heard it, but (also) I saw it. 我不僅聽到、而且看到了它。 Not only…but also連接句子時(shí), not only 可以置于句首表示強(qiáng)調(diào),這時(shí)第一分句要采用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。例如：

　　Not only has he a first-class brain but also he is a tremendously hard worker. 他不僅有著頭等聰明的腦子，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. 這個(gè)可憐的人不僅被逮捕，而且被投進(jìn)監(jiān)獄。

　　10.用于 it is…that 強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)

　　It is not only the scientist and the physician who need a long special training now, but the computer expert, the accountant, and the business manager. 現(xiàn)在，不僅科學(xué)家和醫(yī)生需要長期的專門訓(xùn)練，計(jì)算機(jī)專家、會計(jì)師和企業(yè)經(jīng)理也需要這種訓(xùn)練。

　　It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable. 我們不但要對我們所做的事負(fù)責(zé)，而且要對我們沒有去做的事負(fù)責(zé)。

　　二、not only…but的省略及其變體

　　1.Not only…but also中的also可以省略。有人認(rèn)為該句型所連接的第二部分最高級形容詞或它所表示的范圍、程度、影響等超過第一部分時(shí)，常將also省略。例如：

　　He was not only a successful writer but (also) the greatest poet of his time. 他不僅是一位成功的作家，而且是他那個(gè)時(shí)代最偉大的詩人。

　　He is famous not only in China but (also) in the whole world. 他不僅聞名中國，而且聞名全球。

　　Not only do they suffer less pain than most women in labor, but the town boasts an unusually

　　low rate of infant mortality. 這不僅使她們比大多數(shù)產(chǎn)婦受痛苦，而且使城市嬰兒死亡率大大降低。

　　2.not only…but also句型一般只省略also,但在連接句子時(shí)，有時(shí)也可見到省略but甚至but also的情形。例如：

　　Not only was I tired, I was also cold.我不光困倦， 還感到很冷。(省去了but)

　　George not only made an important friend, he also learned about the frontier. (省去了but)

　　Since moisture is needed for rain, dry air in the morning not only allows the spider to get an early start, is also means a dry day. 有了濕度才會下雨，因此，早晨空氣干燥不僅使蜘蛛早點(diǎn)開始結(jié)網(wǎng)，而且意味著這一天不會下雨。(省去了but)

　　Not only bas she been an excellent wife, she has been a better husband than I’ll never be.

　　她不僅是一個(gè)極其出色的妻子，而且是一個(gè)我永遠(yuǎn)也做不到的好丈夫。(省去了but also)

　　Not only were there no traces of drinking water in the room, there was not sufficient water found in the dead star’s stomach to have comfortably taken the tablets with. 不僅房內(nèi)沒有飲用水的痕跡，在這位已故影星的胃里也沒發(fā)現(xiàn)有把這些藥丸舒適地送下去的水。省去了but also)

　　3. not only…but also的形式比較固定，但也會出現(xiàn)but與also被分隔開來的情形。例如：Not only the mother but the children are also sick.

　　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的替代式常見的還有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. 不但我媽媽不高興，瑪麗也不高興。

　　In jurisprudence it is a well-known principle that justice should not merely be done but should also be seen to be done.在法理學(xué)方面，人所共知的原則是：對受害者不僅應(yīng)當(dāng)公正對待，而且應(yīng)當(dāng)讓人們看到他得到了公正的對待。

　　Not just the people of our nation, but all the people of the world have profited from his work.不僅我們國家的人民，而且全世界所有的人民，都從他的研究工作中得到了好處。

　　Not poets alone, nor artists, nor that superior order of mind which arrogates to itself all refinement, feel this, but dogs and all men.不僅詩人，藝術(shù)家以及那些自命不凡、思想杰出的人覺得如此，連狗和普通人也有同感。

　　三、not only…but用法注意事項(xiàng)

　　1.”not only A but also B”結(jié)構(gòu)中的A和B通常是同等成分。由于同一成分常常由同一詞類的詞來擔(dān)任，所以A與B常常也是同一詞性，這從本文第一部分的例句中即可看到。但是，也有A與B屬于不同詞性的情形。如：”He is not only very clever, but also a very hard worker, and he likes to do everything well.(他不但聰明，而且能下功夫。他喜歡把每一件事都做得很好。)其中A是形容詞，B是名詞，但兩者均在句中作表語，因此仍是正確句子。然而，在“He not only plays the piano, but also the violin.”一句中，A是動詞，B是名詞，不是同一成分，因此語法學(xué)家認(rèn)為此句有點(diǎn)欠妥，至少在書面語中就是如此。如改為“He plays not only the piano, but also the violin”就無懈可擊了，再看下面二例：

　　The surprise grant not only enabled Dad to finish A&T, but to graduate first in his class.這筆意外的獎學(xué)金不僅使我父親能讀完農(nóng)業(yè)和技術(shù)學(xué)院，而且畢業(yè)成績名列榜首。

　　1.Not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well.

　　2.有人認(rèn)為，not only…but also不能用于否定句。漢語中用于否定句中的“不但…而且”在英語中要用as well as 表示。如“不但我不想看戲，而且他也不想看戲”可譯作“He, as well as I, doesn’t want to see the play.”不過，這條規(guī)則也有例外，請看下面二例：

　　Not only did none of us know how the crime was to be committed, we didn’t even know what the crime was to be!

　　Not only don’t I know the population of Nepal, I don’t know where in god’s world it is!我不但不知道尼泊爾人口，而且連它究竟在哪里也不知道!

　　這兩個(gè)例句有幾個(gè)共同點(diǎn)：都是連接否定分句，都是倒裝句，都沒有用but also。下面一例出自一位美國作家之手，所不同的是，not only…but連接的是并列謂語，第一個(gè)動詞是否定的，第二個(gè)動詞則是肯定的：

　　Nonetheless, as he described Mary’s attitudes her accomplishments, he found himself wishing that she cared more about the police side of his life than she seemed to, that she might understand it as intimately, say, as the woman opposite him. But this motion seemed to him so disloyal to Mary that he not only did not articulate it, but at once tried to suppress it.
