名师考点小结

not only...but (also)...意为“不但……而且……”，连接两个简单句时，not only可以放在句首，表示强调，这时句子要用部分倒装，而but（also）后的句子用正常语序。例如：

Not only did he say so, but also he did so. 他不仅这样说了，也这样做了。

Not only did the dog bark at him, but (it) bit him. 这条狗不但对着他叫，还咬了他。

拓展：not only...but also...是并列连词，可以连接两个相同的句子成分或并列分句。

连接主语时，句子谓语动词应与but also后的主语的人称和数保持一致。例如：

Not only you but also Jack has been to Hangzhou.（连接主语）不仅你，杰克也去过杭州。

I know not only him but also his parents.（连接宾语）我不但认识他，还认识他的父母。

Tom can not only sing but also dance.（连接谓语动词）汤姆不仅会唱歌，而且会跳舞。

参考译文

1. 佩特拉是约旦最受欢迎的旅游景点，也是世界上最有名的考古遗址之一。佩特拉是一座位于死海和红海之间的古城，是古代一个阿拉伯部落的首都，由其建造并管辖。古城一半是人工建造，一半是岩石雕凿。由于其岩石颜色为玫瑰红，故名“玫瑰古城”。

2. 古城一直无人知晓，直至1812年一位瑞士探险家向世人揭开它的神秘面纱，因此古城又被称作“失落的古城”。
