用法辨析

    pron. (代詞)

  • either作代詞時,意爲“(二者之中)任何一個”,在句中作主語或賓語,表示單數概唸; 作主語時謂語動詞一般用單數形式,但在否定句中常用複數形式。either可單獨用,也可和of連用, of後跟複數名詞或複數代詞,但意義明確時可省略of短語。

    • adv. (副詞)

  • either用作副詞時須放在否定的動詞或形容詞之後,表示“也(不)”,加強語氣。
  • either在口語中有時也可放在否定句中的名詞後加強語氣。
  • either可以和or連用,表示“或是…或是…”。在連接竝列的主語時謂語動詞一般和鄰近的主語一致; 用於否定句中,表示“既(不)…又(不)”。
