对比either, neither的用法

either意思是"两者中的任何一个"，neither意思是"两者都不"，两个词在句中都可以充当主语、宾语、定语和同位语。

①作主语时，可单独使用，也可以与of连用，either，neither接谓语动词一般用单数形式，但这两者在口语中作主语时，其后的谓语动词也可以用复数。例如：
Either(of them)is OK. (他们两个中)任何一个都行。

②作宾语,可单独使用，也可以与of连用，放在动词或介词之后。例如：
I don't know which book is the better；I shall read both.我不知道这两本书哪一本好，所以我两本都读。
I like neither.(两个)我一个也不喜欢。

③作定语,either和neither后面接单数名词。例如：
On either side of the river there are a lot of trees.河的两边都有许多树。

句中可作主语、宾语和定语。
Neither of the films is good.
两部电影都不好。（没有一部是好的）

Either of the films is good.
（作主语，谓语动词用单数）
两部电影中有一部不错。

either和too类似，放在句末，表示“也”的意思，不同的是，它用在否定句中，比如 我也不喜欢抽烟，翻译为i don't like smoking, either.
neither表示***也不 的意思，通常和nor联用，比如：neither he nor she doesn't want to take the job.翻译为：他和她两个人都不愿意接这份工作
