not only…,but also…… 的句型解釋和用法

結構 not only A but also B 用來強調 B 的重要性。使用這個結構時，平行結構是必須的，即在 not only 和 but also 之後的部分必須對稱。換句話說，如果在 not only 之後使用名詞，那麼在 but also 之後也需要使用名詞。對形容詞、動詞或子句也是如此。

例如：

She’s not only talented but also hardworking. (形容詞) 她不僅有才華，而且還很努力。
She was hired by a company that not only pays well but also offers great benefits. （動詞）她被一家公司聘用，該公司不僅薪資豐厚，而且還提供豐厚的福利。
He’s thrilled as not only he got a promotion, but also he received a significant bonus.（子句） 他很高興，因為他不僅獲得了晉升，而且還獲得了豐厚的獎金。

在口語中，有時詞序可以不同，以上例子可以為：

Not only she’s talented, but hardworking as well. (形容詞)
The company she works for not only pays well, but they also offer great benefits. （動詞）
He’s thrilled as not only he got a promotion, but he also received a significant bonus. （子句）

在寫作中，常見的做法是將動詞 to be 放在主語之前:

Not only is he intelligent, but he is also rich. (形容詞)
The family he was born into not only is intelligent, but also has a lot of money. (動詞)
