- The traditional rule requires thatnor be used following neither in expressions in which the negation is carried over to the second element:He is neither able nor (not or ) willing to go. Noris likewise required when a negation is carried over into the second of two independent clauses, in which caseit also triggers inversion of the subject and the auxiliary verb in the second clause: 传统规则要求nor 用于 neither 后面, 在这种表达中,否定放在第二个部分:他既不能也 (不用 or ) 不愿走。 Nor在当两个独立句子中的第二个也被否时被用, 在这种用法中,它也引起第二个句子主语和助动词的转变: He cannot find anyone now, nor does he expect to find anyone in the future;现在他找不到任何人,以后也别梦想找到任何人 ;Jane will never compromise with Bill, nor will Bill compromise with Jane. 简决不会同比尔和解,而比尔也决不会同简和解。
- When the first negative is expressed bynot or never, however, and when the second conjoined element is a verb phrase,the use ofnor is often optional: 然而当第一个否定词用not 或 never 表达, 且当第二个连结部分是动词短语时,nor 的用法通常可选择: He will not permit the change, or (or nor ) even consider it. 他决不会容许改变,或者(或者用 nor ) 甚至考虑它。

- Oris also more common than nor when such a noun phrase, adjective phrase, or adverb phrase is introduced bynot : Or在下面这种情况下比 nor 常用, 如一个名词短语、形容词短语或副词短语被not 引导时: He is not a philosopher or a statesman.他既不是哲学家也不是政治家。We were not rich or happy. See Usage Note at neither ,or 1我们既不富有也不快乐 参见 neither,or1
