not only...but also结构中not only位置问题

请问老师:

Wearing my own shoes proves not only convenient but also ensures a point that the feelings of others can be ignored.

not only...but also若是并列谓语部分,not only为什么在proves后?not only在动词后这样不应该是并列宾语表语吗?

管理员在英语语法网上的一篇文章或许能解决你的问题。摘录如下:

二、连接非对称结构

......

2.因强调导致不对称

有时为了强调,not only...but also...连接的两个成分也可能是不对称的,这类用法尤其见于not only后接的是句子的一个部分,而but却用于句中连接一个句子(其后的句中可能出现also,也可能省略also)。如:

(1) It’s not only useless to trouble him but it is needless to do so. 去麻烦他不仅没有用而且没有必要。

(2) He’s not only very fast, but he’s also got marvelous technique. 他不仅很快,而且技术高超。

(3) His headache and fatigue not only subsided, but, what is more, his craving for alcohol disappeared. 不但他的头疼和疲劳减累轻了,而且他嗜酒的毛病也消失了。

这类用法有时也可能会省略but后面的主语,而保留其后的谓语。如:

(4) The film was not only amusing, but gave a valuable moral lesson. 这部电影不但逗人,而且也上了一堂有价值的道德教育课。(句子后半部分可视为but it gave a valuable moral lesson之省略)(此例句与网友的问题类似)

(5) She was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable. 这艘轮船不仅是造船史上建造的最大的一艘船,而且也被认为是不会沉没的。(句子后半部分可视为but she was regarded as unsinkable之省略)

(6) These attracted many visitors, for they were not only of great architectural interest, but contained a large number of beautifully preserved frescoes as well. 它们吸引大量游客,不仅是因为建筑风格奇特,而且还有大量保存完好的壁画。
