两人对话,乙方对甲方的问话常可用简短回答作出 反应。例如: Do you like it? -- Yes,I do.这同样适用于陈述句的场合: You worry too much.-- No,I don't.在后一种情况下,乙方也能"So+do+主语"之类 的结构表示看法。
3 U( \( P( C: O$ \# h4 _/ e& g2 M5 _+ W例如甲方说"我喜欢苹果",乙方 如果想表示"我也喜欢苹果",英语可以说: 1 X7 e1 p8 |5 u
- q6 r+ Z* T* YA:I like apples.
. Q' z& L* _: J) |1 N
# Q- d2 a, a* r' X+ R* ?B:So do I.(= I like apples,too。)
0 }5 j. F$ j, Z% T! F2 G
H( r2 ]% v. J, K$ r3 e 这里的so在意义上相当于in the same way,即同样、 也那样,作简短反应表示同样看法时常用之。 ( e2 ~8 j) I; E0 Y# `( q

本文 就诸如此类的四种结构略作介绍。
6 d, M4 E0 n, M# k+ n, A
6 t8 d9 r% `- u1."So+do+主语"结构 在简短反应中表示"我也如此"或"另外一个人也 如此"时,也就是主语不同于上文的主语以及上 文并无可用于构成倒装的动词(即操作词时), 可用此结构。例如: A:I like playing football. B:So do I./So does my brother./So did my father. 如果上文有可用于构成倒装的动词时,则用相同 的动词或根据不同人称用同类的动词。 I must go -- So must I. John can speak French.--So can I. I've got a new car.--So has John. She is clever.-- So is he. 6 q2 t- L! l- J
5 Y2 X. c# q7 L! G, D( P5 D' p
2."Neither/Nor + do + 主语" 结构 如果上文表示否定意义而在简短反应中表示同样 看法时,可用此结构。例如,甲方说I can't swim, 乙方如果想表示"我也不会游泳",英语可以说 Neither can I. / Nor can I(=I can't either)。 ) `' y8 f. r9 ^9 K0 Q& k, ~
5 h/ Y* F% T( Q' [6 z$ |又例如: A:He doesn't speak French. B:Neither/Nor do I. Neither/Nor does my brother. Neither/Nor does my father. 关于以上两种结构,有两点说明:
. r; U' i1 g+ I* [" G% C- l) A% X4 U/ j2 Z, s! p, o: d
第一,能用动词缩略形式。例如: I'm going to London. ---So's John。(is) I've been to New York. ---So's John.(has) I'd have gone to Tokyo if I could.---So'd John.(would) John hasn't got a visa. ---Nor've do I.(have) Jim and Mary aren't acting in the college play. ---Neither's Peter.(is) 6 i" E; O g9 p7 t9 Q
: }8 F5 p, C3 Y) j. ?第二,上述甲乙对话如用and连成一句可出自一人 之口。例如: John can speak French and so can't I. John can't speak French and neither/ nor can I. John speaks French and so do I. John doesn't speak French and neither/nor do I. 上述斜体部分相当于and I can, too / and I can't either / and I do too / and I don't either 的意思。

3."So+主语+do"结构 在简短反应中,对别人所说的情况加以肯定以及 主语与上文主语相同时,可用此结构,注意,这 里不用倒装同序;so 的意义相当于indeed, certainly,即"不错"、"对了"。例如: A:John smokes a lot. B: So he does.(=He smokes a lot indeed.) 这类简短反应往往带有说话人的惊奇口吻。例如: A:Look,it's raining! B: So it is. 在这里,So it is的含义是 You are right! It is raining;and this surprises me. 2 E2 [& b2 u6 {* n$ L- ~6 Z; r- ^

4."Nor+主语十do"结构 8 d, }6 T" Y# b/ o5 d7 p* R
2 E" P6 R: u# J% R# G7 j7 D4 K+ `如果乙方想对甲方所否定的情况加以肯定时,可用此 结构(注:在这类结构中,neither少见)例如: Look! It isn't raining any more! W1 H0 \) R7 G; I$ `
