However, it is often used with a plural verb,especially when followed byof and a plural: 但它常跟复数动词连用,尤其当后跟of 和一个复数名词时: Neither of the candidates are really expressing their own views. · 没有一位候选人真实地表达出他们的观点。 · 4. As a conjunctionneither is properly followed by nor, not or, in formal style: 作为一个连词,在正式文体中neither 后宜跟 nor 而不是 or : Neither prayers nor curses (not &I{or curses} ) &I{did any good.} See Usage Note at &b{either} ,&b{every} ,&b{he} &+{1}&b{none} ,&b{nor} &+{1}&b{or} &+{1}祈祷和咒语(而不用 or curses ) 都不会起任何作用 参见 either,every,he1none,nor1or1 |
