She can neither speak English nor Chinese. 這個句子文法錯在哪? -----

歸根究底,就看neither ... nor ... 的正確用法就對了.

"neither A nor B"(既非A,也非B):此一結構是所謂的"對等連接詞"用法,也就是其所連接的 A 和 B必須是對等的東西,A若是名詞,B也必須是;A若是動詞,B也要同樣是動詞;A如是子句時,B亦須是子句;由此類推.
請看例句:
1. Neither Oleg's mother nor his father spoke English. (名詞+名詞,當主詞)
2. The equipment is neither accurate nor safe. (形容詞+形容詞,當主詞補語)
3. He likes neither biking nor jogging. (動名詞+動名詞,當like的受詞)
4. He wants to be neither in nor by the swimming pool. (介詞+介詞,當藉詞片語起頭)
5. I can neither ride nor fix a bike. (動詞+動詞)

這樣再來看提問的句子:She can neither speak English nor Chinese. "neiterh ... nor ...連接的是"動詞(+受詞)"(speak English)和"名詞"(English),不對等!!!
所以就要改成:
6. She can speak neither English nor Chinese. (名詞+名詞)或
7. She can neither speak English nor use Chinese. ("動詞+受詞"+"動詞+受詞","不會說英語也不會用中文")
8. Neither English nor Chinese is her native tongue. (他的母語既非英語亦非中文)

本句正確解答為She can speak neither English nor Chinese.而其中neither ... nor ...是相關連接詞〈correlative conjuction〉,它的格局比對等連接詞來的廣,不僅可連接文法上地位相等的字詞,亦可連接主要子句及從屬子句。
1.屬於連接文法上地位相等的字詞〈功能似對等連接詞〉有:not only...but also,both...and,neither ...nor,either...or等
2.屬於連接主要子句及從屬子句〈功能似從屬連接詞〉有:if...then, since...therefore等
我們可以從以上分析清楚知道本句錯在連接詞位置不對。****

speak 應該要擺在can的後面,
如:She can speak neither English nor Chinese.
或者是;She can neither speak English nor speak Chinese.
因為neither... nor 是對等連接詞。

''neither nor'' 這個用法有點複雜,你可以換個說法來表達你的意思。例如:She can't speak English and Chinese.

雖然貼到WORD上看來沒有文法錯誤
但是這種說法是中式英文的逐字翻譯
"她既不會說英文也不會說中文"
英文應該這樣說:
She can speak neither English nor Chinese.
