掃晴閒工夫

附和，顧名思義就是附和前一個人所說過的話。
也就是 A 說怎樣怎樣，B 也說怎樣怎樣。

中文的附和比較單純，就說「...也...」就好。
英文說「...也...」的時候要注意句子為肯定或否定，也要注意動詞的時態。
（動詞的時態要看 helping verb/ aux.verb）

以下是句型的公式
1. A B 兩者皆為肯定＋/＋時
A + Aux. V + V +...
So + Aux. V + B... = B + Aux. V..., too.

2. A B 兩者皆為否定 −/− 時
A + Aux. V + not + V +...
Neither + Aux. V + B... = B + Aux. V + not ..., either.

對等連接詞(Co-ordinate Conjunctions)
1. Both... and...（兩者都...）
在文法上，這叫做累積連接詞，意思就是 A 跟 B 都同樣如何如何（＋/＋）。
公式如下：
Both A and B + Aux. V + V +...
因為兩者皆是，記得 Aux. V 要複數型才行
 
2. Either... or...（不是 A ... 就是 B ...）
在文法上，這叫做選擇連接詞，意思是 A 跟 B 其中只有一個怎樣怎樣（＋/ −）。
公式如下：
Either A or B + Aux. V + V +...
因為只有其中一個，記得 Aux. V是單數型，而且要與 B 一致。
 
3. Neither... nor (兩個都不...)
在文法上，這叫做選擇連接詞，意思是 A 跟 B 都沒有如何如何（−/ −）。
因為兩者都不是（等於零），記得 Aux. V是單數型，而且要與 B 一致。
公式如下：
Neither A nor B + Aux. V + V +...
Ex.
1. Xiaobian is a skumbag. His son is a skumbag.
= Xiaobian is a skumbag. So is his son.
= Xiaobian is a skumbag. His son is, too.
Both Xiaobian and his son are skumbags.

2. Xiaobian is definitely not honest to us. His wife is definitely not honest to us.
Xiaobian is definitely not honest to us. Neither is his wife.
= Xiaobian is definitely not honest to us. His wife isn't either.
Neither Xiaobian nor his wife is honest to us.

3. Maybe Xioabian stole money from us. Maybe his wife stole money from us.
Either Xioabian or his wife stole money from us.

Choose the best answer.
Politicians, according to Tom Dobbs (William Robison) in the movie--Man of the Year (2006, Universal Pictures), are a lot like diapers. They should be changed frequently, and for the same reason. No matter what your political views are, I cannot see a reason why you should love anyone who cares   1   your happiness   2   the national interest, and   3   of them are what we really should care about. Are you a fan of Xiaoma's   4   Xiaobian's? It is time for all of us to wake up and face the real world--politicians should be used by you, not using you. 
1. A. both    B. either     C. neither
2. A. and     B. or           C. nor
3. A. both    B. either     C. neither
4. A. and     B. or           C. nor
