两人对话,乙方对甲方的问话常可用简短回答作出 反应。例如: Do you like it? -- Yes,I do.这同样适用于陈述句的场合: You worry too much.-- No,I don't.在后一种情况下,乙方也能"So+do+主语"之类 的结构表示看法。 2 c* v8 p/ E8 l8 u5 G" J" w
例如甲方说"我喜欢苹果",乙方 如果想表示"我也喜欢苹果",英语可以说:
5 W- ` p; q! k
4 S" B* c/ |+ L7 _' V2 u# p6 {7 fA:I like apples.
% q4 \ a% J0 r+ N) K
% F7 m" z# W; ~7 P) M% cB:So do I.(= I like apples,too。)
9 {" H9 ^% N0 I+ {- T( U5 ~. d" g. S8 U9 D$ b5 H1 R' A. ]
这里的so在意义上相当于in the same way,即同样、 也那样,作简短反应表示同样看法时常用之。 ( b; y4 J) m& n+ m" F) c+ C

本文 就诸如此类的四种结构略作介绍。 2 {1 \' s$ N+ e# m% H6 U+ M
( t. K6 s( f, E% Y1 N! H$ A
1."So+do+主语"结构 在简短反应中表示"我也如此"或"另外一个人也 如此"时,也就是主语不同于上文的主语以及上 文并无可用于构成倒装的动词(即操作词时), 可用此结构。例如: A:I like playing football. B:So do I./So does my brother./So did my father. 如果上文有可用于构成倒装的动词时,则用相同 的动词或根据不同人称用同类的动词。 I must go -- So must I. John can speak French.--So can I. I've got a new car.--So has John. She is clever.-- So is he.
( C; m0 q+ [* ?. h
0 s2 Q; u1 D7 U+ {2."Neither/Nor + do + 主语" 结构 如果上文表示否定意义而在简短反应中表示同样 看法时,可用此结构。例如,甲方说I can't swim, 乙方如果想表示"我也不会游泳",英语可以说 Neither can I. / Nor can I(=I can't either)。
( M5 k4 H1 X+ U! }, \+ W; C ~+ K6 m8 t. {9 q. P) ~$ r& e
又例如: A:He doesn't speak French. B:Neither/Nor do I. Neither/Nor does my brother. Neither/Nor does my father. 关于以上两种结构,有两点说明: - {1 }- V o' E+ K! f
' z" I' T, T' w' C. J. {. R# }
第一,能用动词缩略形式。例如: I'm going to London. ---So's John。(is) I've been to New York. ---So's John.(has) I'd have gone to Tokyo if I could.---So'd John.(would) John hasn't got a visa. ---Nor've do I.(have) Jim and Mary aren't acting in the college play. ---Neither's Peter.(is) o2 a6 m! ]/ O2 a1 S1 G
7 ?) m# L1 Z- u3 S
第二,上述甲乙对话如用and连成一句可出自一人 之口。例如: John can speak French and so can't I. John can't speak French and neither/ nor can I. John speaks French and so do I. John doesn't speak French and neither/nor do I. 上述斜体部分相当于and I can, too / and I can't either / and I do too / and I don't either 的意思。 - L: |: q* `8 z R6 k" s' G
) c3 p0 |- d; d% d, v: h
3."So+主语+do"结构 在简短反应中,对别人所说的情况加以肯定以及 主语与上文主语相同时,可用此结构,注意,这 里不用倒装同序;so 的意义相当于indeed, certainly,即"不错"、"对了"。例如: A:John smokes a lot. B: So he does.(=He smokes a lot indeed.) 这类简短反应往往带有说话人的惊奇口吻。例如: A:Look,it's raining! B: So it is. 在这里,So it is的含义是 You are right! It is raining;and this surprises me. ! a% G* C8 }) |( n

7 w6 ?2 D- B" @6 u
; i2 U: G, q6 @& b, B/ F如果乙方想对甲方所否定的情况加以肯定时,可用此 结构(注:在这类结构中,neither少见)例如: Look! It isn't raining any more!
