一、由下列词语连接的并列主语:"there be+句型; or ; either …or;nor; neither…nor;whether…or;not…but; not only…but also" ;等。例句:1.What he does or what he says does not concern me.他的行为或言谈都与我无关。2.Neither you nor I am wrong .你和我都没错。3.Not you but your father is to blame.不是你,而是你的父亲该受责备。4.Not only you but(also) he is wrong.不仅你错了,他也错了。二、在倒装句中:谓语可与后面第一个主语一致。例句:1. In the distance was heard the clapping of hands and the shouts of the people .在远处,能听见鼓掌声和人们的呼喊声。2.There is a pen and some books on the desk.桌上有一支钢笔和几本书。3.There are some books and a pen on the desk.桌子上有几本书和一支钢笔。有时依“就近一致原则”,但也可依“意义一致原则”或严格地依“语法一致原则”。例句:Neither she nor I were there. (意义一致) 我和她当时都不在那儿。(非正式)Neither she nor I was there .(就近一致)(译文同上句)(正式)但是,如果依“就近一致原则”而与其他两项原则相矛盾时,则常常认为是不太合符规范的。No one except his own supporters agrees with him .仅他自己的支持者同意他的意见。(依“就近”和“意义”一致的原则;但语法上,“No one ”才是主语,谓语要改成“agrees”。“写作中”一般要依“语法一致”原则。)
