提醒注意：在口语中以not...either...替换neither使用的情形也很多.例如：

2.neither用作代词,表示“两者都不,双方均不”.例如：

He answered neither of the letters.他两封信都没回.

She bought two toys,but neither can please the child.她买了两个玩具,却没有一个能让小孩高兴.

—Which one would you like?你喜欢哪一个?

—Neither.两个都不喜欢.

此时,与neither用法较为接近的词是none,但none的含义略有不同,none表示“(三者以上)所有的……都不”.例如：

提醒注意：①neither和nor后面接同一词性的单词或短语.

②neither...nor...结构用作主语时,谓语动词必须与nor后面的名词或代词在人称及数上保持一致,即所谓的就近原则.

③在表示“既……也……”,即“两者都……”时,常用短语both...and...；表示“或者……或者……”(即二者选一)时,常用短语either...or.

4.neither用作副词,作“也不”解释,放在句首,表示前面否定的内容也适用于另一个人或物,句子须采用部分倒装.此时也可用nor替换neither使用.
