= He succeeded because he was intelligent
as well as because he was diligent.
(他成功是因為他既聰明又勤奮。)
注意:
1) "both...and..."若連接主詞時, 主詞視為複數, 故其後要用複數動詞。
例: Both Carl and I are interested in playing
baseball.
(卡爾和我都對打棒球很有興趣。)
2) "...as well as..."若連接主詞時, 其後動詞要隨第一個主詞作變化。
例: Peter as well as I am satisfied with
the result. (╳)
→Peter as well as I is satisfied with the result. (○)
= Peter no less than I is satisfied
with the result.
= Peter along with me is satisfied
with the result.
= Peter together with me is satisfied
with the result.
(彼得和我都滿意這樣的結果。)
＊上列句中, 由於as well as和no less than是對等連接詞, 故其後接主格形態I; 而along with及together with則視為介詞, 故之後接受格形態me, 以作為介詞with的受詞。
本文:
To be frank, he no less than
I enjoys...
=To be frank, he as well as I
enjoys...
坦白說, 他和我都喜歡……
＊no lss than及as well as均表『以及』, 連接主詞時, 由於第一個主詞是he, 故動詞enjoys應為第三人稱單數。
b. not only...but (also)... 不僅……而且……
=not only...but...as well
not...but... 並非……而是……
either...or...
要不……就是……
neither...nor...
既非……也非……

注意:
1) 上述四個對等連接詞連接對等的主詞時, 其後動詞要隨最近的主詞作變化。

(不僅你，連我也錯了。)
Not I but she is responsible
for it.

mistake.

2) not only...but also...連接對等的主要子句時, not only之後的主要子句要採倒裝句構; 且but also在連接的主要子句中, also要省略, 或置於句中, 而不可在but also後直接接主要子句。
例: Not only he is clever, but also
he is humorous. (╳)
→Not only is he clever, but he
is (also) humorous. (○)
= Not only is he clever, but
he is humorous as well.
