Not only is the sun much bigger than any planet, but unlike the planets, it consists completely of gaseous material .
问题: 后面的句子it consists这是个完整的句子,与前面的not only …but also是怎样的并列关系?另外but后面应该有省略部分是吗?
not only … but also …这是一组关联并列连词。 also 常省略。
前后两个并列分句,可以是一种结构形式,这时,but 分句可以省略与前分句重复的成分。如:
She was not only intelligent, but (she was) also very musical.
她不仅聪明,而且极具音乐天分。
前后两个并列分句,也可以是两种结构形式。如本句,前分句是“主系表”,后分句是“主动状”。此时,but 分句无法承前省略成分,该怎么表达就怎么表达,就像一个完整的单句一样:unlike the planets, it consists completely of gaseous material.
Not only is {系动词} the sun {主语} much bigger than any planet {表语}, but unlike the planets {状语}, it {主语} consists {动词} completely of gaseous material {状语}.
