Both可作形容词、代词或副词用,意思是“两个”、“双方”、“两个都”。在句中可作主语、宾语或同位语。
如:Both
are
right.两者都对。(主语)
I
like
both.两个我都喜欢。(宾语)
Both可参与构成名词词组,也可和动词连用,还可与and构成并列连词。在使用时,要注意下列几点:
一、Both和both
of后都可接复数名词,构成名词词组。但Both后的名词前可有定冠词、指示代词或物主代词作修饰限定,也可没有;both
of后的名词前却一定要有定冠词、指示代词或物主代词作修饰限定。
如:可以说both(the
these,her)
children;也可以说both
of
the(these,her)children;但一般不说both
of
children。
Both
of后可接人称代词宾格,both后则不可;但人称代词宾格后可接both。可以说both
of
us(you,them),一般不说both
us(you,them),但可以说us(you,them)both。
二、Both与动词连用时,大多数放在系动词be之后,其它动词之前。
如:His
parents
are
both
workers.
They
both
enjoy
reading.
若句中谓语动词包含情态动词或助动词时,both大多放在第一个情态动词或助动词之后。
如:The
bridges
must
both
be
built
this
year.
两座桥都必须在今年修建。
kate
and
Mary
have
both
gone
to
English.
凯特和玛丽都去了英国。
三、Both可与and构成并列连词,连接两个性质相同并在句中作相同成分的并行结构。
如:Both
he
and
his
brother
are
good
at
English.
(连接两个主语)
She
can
both
dance
and
sing.
(连接两个谓语动词)
Mary
is
both
kind
and
beautiful.
(连接两个表语)
四、含both的句子变为否定时,是将both改为neither。
如:当肯定句为Both
of
the
boys
are
clever.(两个男孩都聪明)时,否定句当为Neither
of
the
boys
are
clever.(两个男孩都不聪明)。Both后接复数名词,neither后接单数名词,动词的人称和数也要随之变化。若把句子变为Both
of
the
boys
are
not
clever,则是不完全否定。意思是:并不是两个男孩都聪明(一个聪明一个愚笨)。
五、含both…and…的句子变为否定句时,将both…and…改为neither…nor..,连接的两个部分若是名词,可以是单数,也可以是复数。
如:I
know
both
the
man
and
the
woman.
我既认识那男子,也认识那妇女。
I
know
neither
the
man
nor
the
woman.
我既不认识那男子,也不认识那妇女。
Both
beats
and
birds
would
have
the
bat
as
their
friend.
一Neither
beats
nor
birds
would
have
the
bat
as
their
friend.
记住both的用法
1.和谓语动词连用时,both应放在
be动词、助动词和情态动词之后,行为动词之前。例如:
My
parents
are
both
doctors.我父母都是医生。
The
two
sisters
can
both
drive
cars.这两位姐妹都能开汽车。
They
will
both
stay
here
for
another
day
or
two.他们俩在这儿将再逗留一两天。
注意:在简略回答以及感叹句中,
both不能位于句尾,要放在be动词、助动词或情态动词之前。例如:
“Are
your
parents
workers?”“Yes,
they
both
are.”“你父母是工人吗?”“是的,他们俩都是工人。”
How
clever
they
both
are!他们俩多聪明啊!
2.both可直接放在名词前作定语。但如果名词前有其它限定词,如the,
these,my或two等,则应放在这些词前面,也可以用both
of加上这些词。如:可以说both(of)the
books,both(of)his
hands等。不能说the
both
books,his
both
hands等。例如:
Both(of)my
parents
work
in
a
hos-
pital.(=My
parents
both
work
in
a
hos-
pital.)我父母都在医院工作。
3.both和代词连用时,应说they
both(作主语),both
of
them(作主语或宾语),them
both(作宾语)等形式,不能说
both
they或both
them等。例如:
We
must
thank
both
of
you.(=We
must
thank
you
both.)我们应该感谢你们俩。
Both
of
us
are
from
Canada.(=We
are
both
from
Cana-da.)我们俩都是加拿大人。
