原文链接:Stop Writing to Yourself.
I don’t mean that I spammed people with stories and neither do I mean that my stories were badly written to be classified as junk.
上面这句话也不是很难理解,主要就是单词不认识:
spam 群发;向...群发
后面主要是一个 neither 的用法:
Neither 的用法
此句来自《现代英汉综合大词典》:
*The enemy troop couldn't make any advance, and neither could they retreat. *
敌军进退两难。
有两个问题,需要特别注意:
一、neither 跟so 的用法一致,都是副词。所以,它引导的倒装句,如果前句没有句号,那么,之前应加and。
(就像我们上面的例句)
例如:
I never learned to swim and neither did they.
我从没学过游泳,他们也没有。
来自柯林斯例句
You didn't see him, and neither did I.
你没有看见他, 我也没有。
来自《简明英汉词典》
或者,单独成句,开头用大写:
I can't ever recall Dad hugging me. Neither did I sit on his knee.
我不记得爸爸曾经抱过我,我也没在他膝盖上坐过。
来自柯林斯例句
二、neither 只能引导部分倒装句,只需把“操作词”(即:助动词或情态动词)提前,而实意动词置后
以上属于半倒装结构 neither/nor+情态动词+主语
“顺说倒装句”是顺应前面所出现的表述
表明另一种类似情况而形成的部分倒装形式的倒装句, 其基本结构为
“so/neither/nor+助动词/情态动词/系动词be+主语”,
用放在句首的so(针对前面肯定性的内容)或者neither, nor(针对前面否定性的内容)表明与前面所说的情况类似的情况。
(1)表示肯定情况:so+情态动词/助动词/系动词+主语
He can ride a bike, and so can I.
他会骑自行车, 我也会。
The boy died, and a week later, so did his friend.
那男孩死了, 一周后, 他朋友也死了。
Society has changed and so have the people in it.
社会变了, 人也跟着变了。
(2)表示否定情况:neither/nor+情态动词/助动词/系动词+主语
Tom doesn’t like bananas. Neither/Nor does his wife.
汤姆不喜欢吃香蕉。他妻子也不喜欢。
If you won’t go. Neither will I. 如果你不去, 我也不去。
