■本站特約作者  羅  芳

一、基本用法說明

also可用作no, nothing或其他帶有否定意義的詞之前；如果放在否定詞之后，則不能用also。例如：

Also no other guest could make the egg stand on end. 同樣， 其他客人也沒有一個能把雞蛋直立起來。

There was also no milk, cider, potatoes, or butter. 也沒有牛奶、蘋果酒、土豆和黃油。

Any organization or industry has its core values, the library also no exception. 任何一個組織或行業都有它的核心價值,圖書館也不例外。

The songs however, while not being bad, are also nothing special and her album is best described as mediocre. 然而, 這些歌雖然唱得不差,但同樣還是毫無特色可言,平庸是對這張專輯最恰如其分的形容。

二、特殊用法說明

注意這個否定結構：not also 通常用于修飾疑問句或反意疑問句，間或用于陳述句。如：

Do you not also see it in my face -- the love that makes me happy? 你不也在我的臉上看到了使我感到幸福的愛嗎？
