这类并列连词包括
or, either
...
or 。例如:

it
one
way
or
the other. 你你必须这样或那样做。

were cheerful,
or
at least they appeared to be
cheerful. 工人们很高兴,至少他们看起来很高兴。
Either

possibilities:
either
you know
or
you
don't
know. 只有两种可能:要么你知道要么你不知道。
除表示选择外,
or, either
...
or
还可表示否定的条件。例如:

or
(= if not) you'
ll
miss the chance. 下定决心,否则你会错过这个机会。
You'll
either

由上述诸例可以看出,
not

...
but (also), neither
...
nor.
either
...
or
均可分别位千两个分句句首构成并列句,而
both
...
and
却不可以这样用。比如可以说:

only

but

very
good repair job
either.

and

还必须指出,
neither ...
nor
I
either
...
or
在用法上与
both
...
and/
not only
...
but
(also)
也有区别。neither
/ either
出现在主动词之前时,随后的
nor
/
or
既可带主动词,也可不带主动词,而意义无异。例如:
He
neither
likes fiction
nor
(likes)
poetry.他既不喜欢小说也不喜欢诗歌。
He has
either
gone to the movies
or
(gone)
to the
theater. 他不是去看电影就是去剧院了。
有时
neither / either
所引导的是述谓成分
(predication)
,
nor/
or
却能引导整个的分句。例如:
He
went
and
bought
another
one. 他又去买了一个。
却不可以说:
"
He
tried
and
stopped
me.
He
neither
likes fiction,
nor

both
...

not
only

but

o)
却通常不可以这样用。比如不可以说:

both
likes fiction
and
poetry.

not
only
likes fiction
but
also
poetry.
也不可以说:
x
He
both
likes fiction
and

likes poetry.

not
only
likes fiction
but
he
also
likes poetry.
