ˇ He hasn’t seen the movie. I haven’t seen it, either.

註：too 表示「也」，在肯定句中與 also 同義且更口語。too 一般放在句尾，或作為插入語放在句中；also 通常靠近動詞，不放在句尾。例如：
He likes chocolate; I also like it.
He likes chocolate; I like it, too.
Photo: AdobeStock l 照片：AdobeStock
表示「也不」，不可以在否定語的後面用 too，應用 either 或用 nor 表示否定。但口語裡有時為了強調也把 also 放在否定語的前面。例如：
He doesn’t like Gone With the Wind; I don’t like it, either.
He doesn’t like Gone With the Wind; I also don’t like it.
He doesn’t know her phone number; nor do I.
2. 他不難過，我也不難過。
ˇ He was not upset. Neither/Nor was I.
χ He was not upset. So was I.
註：承接前句述詞的動作，因而構成新的句子時，新句子的詞序是動詞在前，主詞在後。但應注意：肯定時用副詞 so，否定時用 neither 或 nor。例如：
He likes to play the guitar, and so do I.
He likes playing the piano, and so do I.
He doesn’t like playing tennis; neither/nor do we.
He wouldn’t go to church; neither/nor would you.
He can’t whistle; neither/nor can you.
3. 連小學生都不會相信這樣的謊言。
ˇ Not even schoolchildren will believe such a lie.
ˇ Even schoolchildren will not believe such a lie.
χ Even no schoolchildren will believe such a lie.
註：「連……也不……」用 not even... 或 even... not...，而不可用 even no...。

4. 他還沒有來。
ˇ He has not arrived yet.
χ He has still not arrived.
註：在一般否定句中表示「還」、「尚」、「至今還」應用 yet，不用 still，比較：
He is still here.（現尚在此）
He is not here yet.（尚未來此）
在肯定句中二者可以通用。例如：There is yet ( ＝ still) time.
5. 他什麼時候會到？他剛到。
ˇ When will he be here? He has just arrived.
ˇ When will he be here? He arrived just now.
χ When will he be here? He just arrived.
註：just 作「剛才」、「方才」解，一般與完成時態連用。just now 作「片刻之前」（= not long ago）解，與過去一般時態連用；作 at this moment 解，則與現在一般時態連用。例如：He is rather busy just now.。

Every February, the US observes Black History Month, a time dedicated to recognizing the contributions, experiences, and achievements of African Americans. The tradition began in 1926, when historian Carter G. Woodson proposed a national week to promote the teaching of Black history in schools. He deliberately chose the second week of February to honor the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, two figures held in high esteem by the Black community for their roles in ending slavery. In 1976, the initiative expanded into a month-long observance, with then US president Gerald Ford urging Americans to acknowledge the accomplishments of

His eyes stopped on a wooden box resting on a low beam above Chao’s head. “What is that?” Chao stayed silent. The inspector pulled the box down and
