有,连接两个主语时,谓语动词要和最近的主语(即but also后的主语)在人称和数上保持一致,即遵循“就近原则”。
例:Not only he but also you are invited to attend the meeting.不光他,还有你也被邀请参加会议。
not only…but also…表示递进,意为“不但…而且…”,着重强调后者,其中also常可省略。可以省略but或also,也可以把but also都省略掉,but和also还可分开使用。
1、not only A but also B等于“B as well as A”。注意:翻译时,要先译 as well as后面的部分。
例:The child is not only healthy but also lively.(=The child is lively as well as healthy.)这孩子既健康又活泼
2、可以省略but或also,也可以把but also都省略掉,but和also还可分开使用。
例:She not only finished reading that book, (but also) wrote an article about it.她不光读完了那本书,还写了一篇读后感。
