大家好,我是(美国)纽约的Raphael,我的目的是帮助大家一起学好英语!
最近,有些粉丝写信给我,问了我这样的一个问题:如何正确区分Either和Neither的用法与区别? 下面我将通过一些例句来做全面的讲解.
When I was in school
当我在学校的时候
I learned this rule: Either Or,Neither Nor
我学会了这个规则:Either Or,Neither Nor
It is very good to remember this: Either Or, Neither Nor
记住这一点是很好的:Either Or, Neither Nor
This is how we use it
我们是这样使用它的
If I say, you can have either this or that
如果我说,你可以有这个或者那个
you would then choose between this or that
然后你就可以在这个或那个之间做出选择
Or you could say, I want neither this nor that
或者你可以说,我既不想要这个也不想要那个
Neither implies no, or the negative
Neither意味着不(表示否定),或者意味着否定的回答
The word either implies yes
either这个词意味着是(表示肯定)
you can get to make a choice: either this or that
你可以做出选择:选这个或者那个
For the negative,you would say, I want neither this nor that
对于否定的陈述,你会说,我既不想要这个也不想要那个
You could also say, I don't like either of them
您还可以说,我都不喜欢他们两个
You can't say :“I don't like neither of them”
你不能这样说:“I don't like neither of them”
that is called a double negative
这种说法叫作双重否定.
This is a very important rule
这是一个非常重要的规则.
We don't use double negatives in English
在英语中我们不使用双重否定
It is correct to say. I like neither of them
正确的说法是,他们两个我都不喜欢,
or, I don't like either of them
或者说,我都不喜欢他们
If you like both of them, you can say either one is good
如果两个你都喜欢,你可以说任何一个都是好的
If you don't like them both, you can say neither one is good
如果两个你都不喜欢,你可以说两个都不好.
I could say to you, choose between either A, B, C, or D
我可以告诉你,从A、B、 C或D中选择.
And you would either choose one of them
你可以选择其中一个
or say, that you want neither A, B, C, nor D
或者说,你既不想要A, B, C,也不想要D
Just remember: either or, neither nor
只要记住: either or, neither nor
Either is positive(you can), neither is negative(you can't)
Either是积极的情绪(你可以),neither是消极的情绪(你不能)
They always speak about choice
他们总是谈论选择
Either this or that; neither this nor that
不是这个就是那个;既不是这个也不是那个
