notonlybutalso(notonlybutalso就近原则举例子)
其在汉语里的译法变化多端，主要是加上适当的关联词，请大家关注例句里的译法。有关用法如下：
1. not only … but also 应连接两个相对称的并列成分。例如：
Not only Mr Lin but also his son joined the Party two years ago. （连接两个主语）
不仅林先生，还有他的儿子两年前加入了党。
I not only play tennis but also practise shooting. （连接两个谓语动词）
我不仅打网球，还练习射击。
He plays not only the piano but also the violin. （连接两个宾语）
他不仅会弹钢琴，还会拉小提琴。
They speak English not only in class but also in the dormitory. （连接两个地点状语）
他们不仅在课堂上讲英语，而且在宿舍里也讲英语。
注 1 ： She not only sings well but also dances beautifully. = She doesn't only sing well but also dances beautifully.
她不仅唱得好，而且舞姿优美。
注 2 ：句子 He not only plays the piano but also the violin .不是好的文体，因为 but also 之后的成分与 not only 之后的成分不对称。但是，口语里是可以随便这样说说的，就像许多人在汉语里经常说，你是我大大的朋友。谁都能理解，是吗？但我们要与上面的一个例句好好出别一下：
He plays not only the piano but also the violin. （连接两个宾语）
他不仅会弹钢琴，还会拉小提琴。
（这是一个完美的句子。）
2. not only … but also 连接两个分句，并且 not only 位于句首时，第一个分句中的主语和谓语要部分倒装。例如：
Not only are mothers not paid but also most of their boring or difficult work is unnoticed.
母亲们不但得不到报酬，而且她们做的那些乏味艰苦的工作常常都不为人所注意。

3. not only … but also 不能用在否定句中。例如：
误： They don't fear not only hardship but also death.
正： They fear neither hardship nor death.
他们不怕苦也不怕死。
正： They don't fear either hardship or death.
他们不怕吃苦也不怕死。
4. not only … but also 连接两个主语时，谓语动词要和与其最近的主语保持人称和数的一致。例如：
Not only the students but also the teacher was against the plan. / Not only the teacher but also the students were against the plan.
不仅学生，老师也反对这个计划。/不仅老师，学生们也反对这个计划。（译法不同，强调的语意有所不同。）
5. not only … but also 中的 not only 不能分开使用，但 but also 却可以分开使用。例如：

6. not only … but also 连接两个并列成分时，可以省略 but 或 also ，也可以把 but also 都省略掉。例如：

她不仅唱得好，而且跳得也很优美。
8. 也可以用 besides， furthermore， moreover， in addition 等替代 not only … but also 中的 but also .例如：

10. not only A but also B = B as well as A， 但前者的强调重点在 B ；后者的强调重点也在 B .（汉译时，要先译 as well as 后面的词）例如：
