关于考点notonlybutalso及but it not only but also

-在句意符合递进的关系时,notonly, but(also)要求绝对的平行。之所以also用括号表示是因为also可以省略,这一现象似乎在prep种很常见。所以在解题时,看清楚句意后,只需要机械的看清楚only或者but(also)后面的内容。另外:所有的正确选项中but与also之间尚未发现有其他的代词等。下面有几个说明:

prep.

-GMAC曾出现过一个非递进关系但是使用了notonly but also的题目。如下:正确答案是D,去掉了not also, 只剩下butit also. 这也是第一次在SC中出现butalso之间有代词的。原句是倒装句,但是正确答案改变了倒装,but后用it(it指代systematicclearing of forests)是因为but在这里是一个连词。GMACprefer后面使用完整的句子。

以下是来自国外网站关于该习惯法的官方总结
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN ACTUALITY, there is really only one base structure here, whichis "not ... but ..."

that's actually the only TRUE set of parallel markers here. "only"and "also" are adverbs, and so ultimately function as modifiers --i.e., they aren't necessary to the structure.
still, since "not only ... but also ..." is so common, you may wantto memorize it separately -- but be aware that this is NOT the onlycorrect form of this idiom.

the MOST reliable way to deconstruct this idiom is just to memorize"not ... but ...", and then ignore the adjectives "only" and "also"in deciding whether structures are grammaticallyparallel.
in deciding the MEANING of the structure, you can't dismiss "only"and "also" ... but that's a separate issue. see below.

--

EXAMPLES:
BE SURE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY EACH OF THESE IS CORRECT ORINCORRECT

the writer was not only mortified by her mistake but determined tocorrect it in print.
--> CORRECT

the writer not only was mortified by her mistake but was determinedto correct it in print.
--> CORRECT

the writer was not only mortified by her mistake but was determinedto correct it in print.
--> INCORRECT

the small child was relieved to hear that the rustling under thebed was caused not by a ghost but by his pet cat.
--> CORRECT

the small child was relieved to hear that the rustling under thebed was caused not by a ghost but his pet cat.
--> INCORRECT

SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE, THEN, WITH
"not only ... but also ..."
"not only ... but ..."
"not ... but ..."
?

the difference here is strictly one of MEANING.

the first two are pretty similar; the last one is TOTALLYdifferent.

(1) "not only ... but also ..." is used to refer to twodescriptions that REINFORCE each other (i.e., both have the sameconnotation -- two good things, two bad things, two helpful things,etc.), but are fundamentally independent.
ex:
this drug is not only an alertness aid, but also anantidepressant.
--> "alertness aid" and "antidepressant" are TWOGOOD THINGS that have basically NOTHING TO DO WITH EACHOTHER.
therefore, "not only ... but also".

(2) "not only ... but ..." is also used to refer to twodescriptions that REINFORCE each other, but it's generally usedwhen the second description EXPANDS or GOES BEYOND thefirst.
ex:
ryan not only competed in all the events, but won first prize inthree of them.
--> note that "won first prize in three of [theevents]" is an EXTENSION of "compet[ing] in all the events". theseare not independent.

the above difference between (1) and (2) is subtle, and istherefore not terribly important. however, you MUST be able to tellthose from the next one:

(3) "not ... but ..." is used when the FIRST thing is EXPECTED,ASSUMED, or PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT, but is REFUTED / CONTRADICTED /DISPROVED by the SECOND thing.
ex:
the snacks known as "french fries" were invented not in france, butin belgium.
--> the initial assumption, which is refuted, isthat french fries are from france.
