Ⅱ.重點句型詳解

Not_all_cultures greet each other the same way, nor_are_they comfortable in the same way with touching or distance between people. 各種文化背景下人們互致問候的方式不盡相同，身體接觸和相互間距離的程度也并不一樣。

(1)not all...是部分否定，與 not構(gòu)成部分否定的詞還有：both, every, everyone, everywhere, everybody, everything, always, entirely, wholly, altogether。

Not every student passed the exam.并非所有的學(xué)生都通過了考試。

Not all of us can speak English.并非我們都會說英語。

提示：表示全部否定的詞有：none, nobody, neither, never, nothing, nowhere, no one, not at all。

(2)本句后半句是 nor 引起的倒裝句，nor 位于句首時，句子需要部分倒裝。

She doesn‘t like dance, nor does her sister.她不喜歡跳舞，她姐姐也不喜歡。

歸納拓展：含有否定意義的詞置于句首往往引起部分倒裝：

①含有否定意義的副詞放在句首，如：not, never, seldom, hardly, rarely, little 等。

Never before has our country been as united as it is today. 我們國家從沒像現(xiàn)在這樣團(tuán)結(jié)。

②含有否定意義的連詞置于句首，如： neither...nor, no sooner...than..., scarcely...when..., hardly...when...等。

No sooner had he left home than it began to rain.他一出家門天就開始下雨。

③含有否定意義的介詞短語置于句首，如： by no means, in no time, in no case, on no account等。
