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。
$ M1 j2 Y4 L, O+ G5 L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: 9 \1 R; d- B# l! h
1 }. z y2 c) O7 aA:I like apples. 0 T) A# B# [/ A
6 F- a; Y! ~- o$ GB:So do I.(= I like apples,too。)
9 R+ S+ u! W, |( D, E6 z( g7 t
' U* G/ F5 I; s0 U3 v1 c5 ] 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。

本文 就诸如此类的四种结构略作介绍。
0 R6 U" ~( ^+ o0 @: B
/ S7 K* e) y: }: ?, d% Y1."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.
8 U0 H5 e `* o" Z8 w
5 G8 K. t, d' J4 N6 G2 p2."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)。
/ N4 L/ w+ `& G- _2 E* }6 N+ p3 n+ }$ a1 S* b8 F
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:
# `4 T1 l7 Q* b. x# _ a1 u# q G$ c7 W, t6 e6 T
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) / {, x W# k* a7 ]& ~; e: i
v9 \' u7 `5 v, j/ @$ h# ^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。
w+ e6 Z/ `) s, V/ Q% e+ b+ r) T+ Q2 I" z+ `$ o; n/ `9 |
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.

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!
