主谓一致和就近就远原则
就近一致原则
也称“邻近原则”“就近一致原则”,即:谓语与靠近的名词、代词(有时不一定是主语)在“人称、人数”上一致。
一、在正式文体中:
1.由下列词语连接的并列主语:“there be+句型;or either...or;nor;neither...nor;whether...or;not...but;not only...but also”等。
Eg.
(1) What he does or what he says does not concern me.
他的行为或言谈与我无关。
(2)Neither you nor I am wrong.你和我都没错。
(3)Not you but your father is to blame.
不是你,而是你的父亲该受责备。
(4)Not only you but (also) he is wrong.
不仅你错了,他也错了。
2.在倒装句中,谓语可与后面第一个主语一致。
Eg.(1)In the distance was heard the clapping of hands and the shouts of the people.
在远处,能听见鼓掌和人们的呼喊声。
(2) There is (are) a pen and some books on the desk.
桌上有一支钢笔和几本书。
非正式文体中:
有时依“就近”和“意义”一致的原则;但语法上,“no one”才是主语,谓语要改成“agrees”。“写作中”一般要依“语法一致”原则。
