1 ​neither的用法存疑

Neither of them don't like eating fruit and vegetable.

我在网上看到这么个句子,感觉很奇怪,neither of them ... don't... 不就成了双重否定了吗?

为什么这个句子不用all?两个人的话用both不行吗?neither这么用对吗?

请问老师,如何理解?

5. Neither fish nor chicken weren't at the party. 

Neither…nor is a negative construction, so when combined with weren't, another negative, it again becomes quite confusing. We're left wondering what exactly this person ate and whether chicken and fish were on that menu!

Neither of them could come to the meeting
      but not.....
      Neither of them  couldn't come .... (That would be a double negative)

(网文摘)

Be careful not to use neither with another negative e.g. 
"I don't want neither chocolate nor crisps." WRONG.
We cannot have a double negative!

It cannot be said that she is neither pretty nor smart.

If she is either pretty OR smart, the red sentence is true.

## It can be said that she is pretty and smart 

That does not make the blue sentence true.


These sentences are not natural idiomatic English.

双重否定表示强调。又如:

Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China.没有共产党就没有新中国。

Both of them like eating fruit. 他们俩都喜欢吃水果。

Neither of them likes eating fruit. 他们俩都不喜黄吃水果。

Both of them don't like eating fruit.

= Not both of them like eating fruit. 他们俩并非都喜欢吃水果。

当句子中有总括词all, both, always, every等时,not否定的是总括词,不是都..., 不是每个..., 不是总...。

Neither of them doesn't like eating fruit. 他们俩没人不喜欢吃水果。

= Both of them like eating fruit.

   “Neither of + 复数名词或代词”作主语时,谓语动词应该用肯定式。
