either问题

A--“ I didn't like the movie.”

B--“I also didn't like the movie.”

如果在对话中,前面一句否定,后面对方回答时可以用also吗?如上句对话,正确吗?

我们常学习的 都是:否定句,否定句  接either. 

肯定句,否定句 接also/too/as well.

 If you are adding a negative point to a positive one, you can use not … as well/too.

You can have a burger, but you can’t have fries as well.

网友对这句话理解有误。you can use...意思是你可以用not...as well/too, 并不是说你不可以用either。下面就是牛津的例句:

I know a good Italian restaurant. It's not far from here, either.

前句为肯定句,后句为否定句,用not...either.

also don't在COCA语料库有2000多个例句,在BNC只有14个。可见这种用法多见于美语,是不太规范或非正式的用法。

A--“ I didn't like the movie.”

B--“I also didn't like the movie.”

以上对话,答语使用 also 为错误,因为它一般不跟否定连用。改为:

A -- "I don't like the movie."

B -- "I don't like the movie either."


关于 also, too, either, as well 的区别:

这四个说法都可作副词用,意思都是“也”,但用法不同。

1. also 的位置放在行为动词之前,系动词、助动词或情态动词之后。例如:

She also went to the theatre. 她也去看戏了。

She was also wrong. 她也错了。

She can also do it. 她也能做那件事。

2. 但 too 常用于句末,前面可用逗号,也可不用。例如:

He is a worker, too.(=He is a worker too.)还可以说:He, too, is a worker. 他是一位工人。

如果 too 用于形容词或副词之前,意为“太,过于”。不再是“也”,而是“太”。如:

The scenery is too beautiful for words. 风景美得无法言传。

He drives too fast. 他开车太快了。

also, too 一般用于肯定句中,但 too 有时可用于否定句中,且必须放在否定词前。例如:

I didn’t know him and she too didn’t know him. 我不认识他,她也不认识他。

3. either 只用于否定句中,必须放在句末。如:

You didn’t go there. I didn’t go there, either.(= Neither did I.)你没去那儿,我也没去。

4. as well 等于too,但总是位于句末。例如:

I’m going to London and my sister’s going as well. 我打算去伦敦,我妹妹也去。

I bought a book as well.(=too, also)我也买了一本书。

但是下面句子中的 also 不能直接用too, as well 替代。

I also bought a book. = I, too, bought a book.
