2017年6月英语六级考试语法知识：So do I

　　So do I

　　两人对话，乙方对甲方的问话常可用简短回答作出 反应。例如： Do you like it? -- Yes，I do.这同样适用于陈述句的场合： You worry too much.-- No，I don‘t.在后一种情况下，乙方也能"So+do+主语"之类 的结构表示看法。

　　例如甲方说"我喜欢苹果"，乙方 如果想表示"我也喜欢苹果"，英语可以说：

　　A：I like apples.

　　B：So do I.(= I like apples，too。)

　　这里的so在意义上相当于in the same way，即同样、 也那样，作简短反应表示同样看法时常用之。

　　就诸如此类的四种结构略作介绍。

　　1."So+do+主语"结构 在简短反应中表示"我也如此"或"另外一个人也 如此"时，也就是主语不同于上文的主语以及上 文并无可用于构成倒装的动词(即操作词时)， 可用此结构。例如： A：I like playing football. B：So do I./So does my brother./So did my father. 如果上文有可用于构成倒装的动词时，则用相同 的动词或根据不同人称用同类的动词。 I must go -- So must I. John can speak French.--So can I. I‘ve got a new car.--So has John. She is clever.-- So is he.

　　2."Neither/Nor + do + 主语" 结构 如果上文表示否定意义而在简短反应中表示同样 看法时，可用此结构。例如，甲方说I can‘t swim， 乙方如果想表示"我也不会游泳"，英语可以说 Neither can I. / Nor can I(=I can‘t either)。

　　又例如： A：He doesn‘t speak French. B：Neither/Nor do I. Neither/Nor does my brother. Neither/Nor does my father. 关于以上两种结构，有两点说明：

　　第一，能用动词缩略形式。例如： I‘m going to London. ---So‘s John。(is) I‘ve been to New York. ---So‘s John.(has) I‘d have gone to Tokyo if I could.---So‘d John.(would) John hasn‘t got a visa. ---Nor‘ve do I.(have) Jim and Mary aren‘t acting in the college play. ---Neither‘s Peter.(is)

　　第二，上述甲乙对话如用and连成一句可出自一人 之口。例如： John can speak French and so can‘t I. John can‘t speak French and neither/ nor can I. John speaks French and so do I. John doesn‘t speak French and neither/nor do I. 上述斜体部分相当于and I can, too / and I can‘t either / and I do too / and I don‘t either 的意思。

　　3."So+主语+do"结构 在简短反应中，对别人所说的情况加以肯定以及 主语与上文主语相同时，可用此结构，注意，这 里不用倒装同序;so 的意义相当于indeed, certainly，即"不错"、"对了"。例如： A：John smokes a lot. B: So he does.(=He smokes a lot indeed.) 这类简短反应往往带有说话人的惊奇口吻。例如： A：Look，it‘s raining! B: So it is. 在这里，So it is的含义是 You are right! It is raining;and this surprises me.

　　4."Nor+主语十do"结构

　　如果乙方想对甲方所否定的情况加以肯定时，可用此 结构(注：在这类结构中，neither少见)例如： Look! It isn‘t raining any more!

　　---Nor it is!

　　This cup hasn‘t got a handle!

　　---Nor it has!

　　四种结构的介绍就到此为止。下面从L.A. Hill所着 An Intermediate Refresher course 一书摘引一则 对话供初学者观察上述四种结构在上下文中的使用 情况。

　　Derothy: Look it‘s raining!

　　Donald: So it is! I‘m not going out this afternoon now.

　　Dorothy：Nor am I. You and I haven‘t got anything to do this evening, you know.

　　Donald: Nor we have! We can go to the cinema then.

　　Derothy: So we can.

　　Donald: There‘s a good film on at the "Metropole".

　　Derothy: So there is! Shall we go?

　　Denald: Yes, let‘s.

　　Derothy: But it doesn‘t start until 6 o‘clock.

　　Denald: Nor it does! I thought there was an early performance too.

　　Dorothy：So did I . Well, I don‘t want to sit about doing nothing until 6.

　　Donald: Nor do I …Oh, look, it isn‘t raining any more.

　　Dorothy: Nor it is! I‘d like to go for a walk.

　　Donald: So would I…OH, who‘s that coming up the road?

　　Dorothy: It‘s the postman.

　　Donald: So it is! He‘s very early. The evening newspaper hasn‘t even arrived yet.

　　Dorothy: Nor it has! That‘s late today. I hope the postman has a letter for us.

　　Donald: So do I - but I don‘t want any more bills!

　　Dorothy: Nor do I!

　　Donald: Here he is…there‘s a parcel for us!

　　Dorothy: So there is! I wonder who sent it.

　　Donald: So do I. I wasn‘t expecting a parcel.

　　Dorothy: Nor was I. Oh, it‘s from Mother - they are woolen clothes for the baby!

　　Donald: So they are! She must have knitted them herself!

　　Dorothy: There‘s no letter in the parcel.

　　Donald: Nor there is! I find that strange.

　　Dorothy: So do I. She always writes to us on Sundays. Oh, well, perhaps we shall get a letter from her tomorrow.
