1.This has effects not only in the work place but in the world finance.
“not only … but also …”是一個并列連詞詞組，其意思基本等于“both … and …”，但側重點放在“but also”上，另外該詞組使用時須遵守一定的規則，如要求對稱，倒裝及主謂一致等。
使用not only … but also … 時須注意的幾點：
1. not only與but also后面所連接的詞的詞性必須對等：
(1) Frankin was considered not only an inventor,but also a statesman. 富蘭克林不僅被看作發明家，而且被看作政治家。
(2) The nurse was not only competent but also kind. 這位護士不僅能干而且親切和藹。 (3) They not only broke into his office and stole his books,but also tore up his manuscripts. 他們不僅闖進他的辦公室，偷走了他的書，而且還撕掉了他的手稿。
(4) Not only you but also she has to attend the ceremony. 不令你而且她也得參加典禮。
(5) In production,we should always keep an eye not only on quantity but also on quality. 在生產中，我們不僅要關注數量，而且要關注質量。
(6) They completed the project not only punctually but also perfectly. 他們不僅準時完成工程，而且完成得很出色。 2. not only只能連用，而but also既可連用，也可分開用： a. He speaks not only English,but also French. 他不僅說英語，還說法語。 b. Television is not only boring,but it also wastes a lot of time. 電視不僅乏味，而且還浪費許多時間。 c. She was not only compelled to stay at home,but she was also forbidden to see her friends. 她不僅被強迫蹲在家中，而且被禁止去看朋友。 3.謂語動詞的數應與but also后主語的數保持一致： Not only you but also Mr Zhang teaches in this college. 不僅你，張老師也在此學院教書。
