从so do i谈起。
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,乙方也能用“so+do+主语”之类的结构表示看法。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:
a:i like apples.
b:so do i.(=i like apples,too。)
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。
1.“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.
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ican'tswim,乙方如果想表示“我也不会游泳”,英语可以说neithercan i/nor can i(=i can't either)。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: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 h**e gone to tokyo if i could.--so'd john.(would)
john hasn't got a visa. -nor've do i.(h**e)
jim and mary aren't acting in the college play. -neither'speter.(is)
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 thissurprises me.
4."nor+主语十do"结构。
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! -nor it is!
this cup hasn't got a handle! -nor it has!
四种结构的介绍就到此为止。下面从 hill所著anintermediaterefresher course一书摘引一则对话供初学者观察上述四种结构在上下文中的使用情况。
derothy: look it's raining!
donald: so it is! i'm not going out this afternoon now.
dorothy:'tgotanythingtodothisevening,you know.
donald: nor we h**e! we can go to the cinema then.
derothy: so we can.
donald: there's a good film on at the "metropole".
derothy: so there is! shall we go?
denald: yes, let's.
derothy: but it doesn't start until 6 o'clock.
derothy: nor it does! i thought there was an early
performance too.
dorothy:so did i . well, i don't want to sit about
doing nothing until 6.

dorothy: nor it is! i'd like to go for a walk.
donald: so would ioh, who's that coming up the road?
dorothy: it's the postman.
donald:soitis!he''tevenarrived yet.
dorothy: nor it has! that's late today. i hope the postman has aletter for us.

dorothy: nor do i!
donald: here he isthere's a parcel for us!
dorothy: so there is! i wonder who sent it.
donald: so do i. i wasn't expecting a parcel.
dorothy: nor was i. oh, it's from mother - they are woolen clothesfor the baby!
donald: so they are! she must h**e knitted them herself!
dorothy: there's no letter in the parcel.
donald: nor there is! i find that strange.
dorothy: so do i. she always writes to us on sundays.
oh, well,perhaps we shall get a letter from her tomorrow.
