1、not only…but al衡痕贤伎so…比较正常的用法可以相当于…as well as…"既……又/也……“（用于句中，先翻译as well as后面部分），比如The child is not only healthy but also lovely.”这孩子不但健康而且可爱“=The child is lovely as well as healthy ."这孩子既健康又可爱”。也就是 not only A but also B 和 B as well as A 形式。这种用法主要是连接两个对等的成分，如“：He plays not only basketball but also football."他不仅打篮球，还踢足球。”
2、有时not only会放在句首，那么这时not only引导的句子就要用到装的形式。Not only does the sun give ua warm but also it gives us hope."太阳不仅给了我们温暖，还给了我们希望。“not only…but also…如果连接两个主语作名词时，谓语动词要与but also后面的名词单、复数一致（就近原则）。比如：Not only the teachers but also he likes me.”不仅老师们，还有他也喜欢我“
3、在not only…but also…搭配应用中，有时可以只用but或者只用also，甚至有时可以把but also都省略。I 荏鱿胫协not only got it but (also) ate it."我不仅拿到了（它），而且吃到了（它）。Not only was I tired, I was also feel sleepy ."我不仅累了，而且感觉困了。”Shenot only finished the task, (but also) wrote a summary about it."她不仅完成了这个任务，还写了一份关于它的总结。“有时but 和 also 也可以分开使用，如：Not only the father but the clildren are also sick."不仅父亲，而且孩子们也生病了。
