not only but also用法

表达的意思是“不但……而且……”,注意以下用法:

主要用于连接两个对等的成分;若连接两个成分作主语,其后谓语动词与靠近的主语保持一致。如:

She likes not only music but also sport.她不但喜欢音乐而且喜欢运动。

not only…but also…中的also通常可以省略,或换成too, as well(要置于句末)。如:

He not only washed the car, but polished it too [as well].他不仅冲洗汽车,而且还擦拭了它。

有时甚至连but also一并省略掉。如:

Justice must not only be done; it must be seen to be done.正义不但必须伸张,而且要让人看到正义得到了伸张。

为了强调,可将not only置于句首,此时其后的句子通常要用部分倒装的形式。如:

Not onlyhas she been late three times, she has also done no work.她不仅仅迟到了3次,她还没干一点活。
