also ,too,either 的區別及用法
題目:
also ,too,either 的區別及用法
解答:
also,too
這兩個詞都是副詞,又都表示「也是」的意思,但在修辭意味和使用場合上有所不同.它們的區別如下:
(一)一般說來,also用於比較正式(formal)的場合,語氣比too莊重; too是慣熟(familiar)的用語,使用範圍較廣.
(二)also在句中的位置要緊靠動詞; too在句中的位置比較靈活,有時插入句中,前後用逗號分開,有時放在句末.
(三)too只能用在肯定句中,不可用於否定句內.在否定句中,只能用either;also則可以用在否定句中.
下面請看例句:
The Hong Kong Chief Executive also heads the university as Chancellor.
香港行政長官也以(大學)校監身份領導大學.
Reading books is learning,but application is also learning and the more important form of learning.
讀書是學習,買踐也是學習,而且是更重要的學習.
We have not heard such a thing.Also,we have never seen such a scene.
我們沒有聽見過這種事情,我們也從來沒有見過這種場面.
請注意,一般說來,also在句中的位置應緊靠動詞,但有時爲了強調其意,也可以將它放在句首或句末.
Here,too,the colon must be followed by a dash.
這裡也一樣,應當在冒號之後加破折號.
Mary,too,can play the piano.
瑪麗也會彈鋼琴.
Could you speak Japanese?—Yes,and Spanish too.
您會說日語嗎?——會的,還會說西班牙語哩.
Also雖然和too同義,但前者大都用於書面語,後者大都用於口語.例:
The lady washed the children and also gave them dinner.(書面語)
The lady washed the children and gave them dinner too.(口語)
either用作代詞時,意爲「二者之一」,可單獨使用,也可以和表示範圍的of短語連用,of後的名詞一般爲複數,並且是特指.例如:
—Do you want tea or coffee?你要茶還是咖啡?
—Either is OK.哪一種都行.
Is either of your parents coming to see you next week?下周你父親或母親要來看你嗎?
註:either作主語時,謂語動詞應用單數形式,of後面的名詞在數上應是「兩個」,並帶有限定詞,如往往說either of the/your boxes,而不說either of boxes.
二、either用作形容詞時,可修飾單數可數名詞,意爲「兩個中任一個」,其謂語動詞也應用單數形式.例如:
Come on Saturday or Sunday.Either day is OK.星期六或星期天來吧,這兩天哪天都行.
There are lots of shops on either side of the street.(=There are lots of shops on both sides of the street.)街道兩邊有許多商店.
三、either用作副詞時,意爲「也(不)」,用於否定句的句末.例如:
If you don't go there,I won't,either.如果你不去那裡,我也不去.
