（be） of ┤no,little（表示否定） ├＋名词
└any （用于疑问句） ┘
（书面语，比较郑重的说法）
＝（be）＋（very）＋形容词（形容词与上面的名词同根）（多用于口语）
（1）该结构可在句中充当表语，后置定语或补语。
（2 ）该结构中形容词后接的名词常见的为抽象名词value ，importance，
use，help，benefit，int erest，difference， courage，fun等。
（3）该结构中的名词也可以是表示年龄、颜色、尺寸、 样式的词，如age，
colour，size，type等。

二、
┌no...but... ┐
A.┤nothing but... ├"只有"，
└nothing...but...┘"除……外没有……"
B. not...but..."不是……而是……"
┌not only（或just）... ┐
C.┤ but（also）... ├"不仅……
│not only（或just）... │而且……"
└ but...as well ┘
（1）A中的but为介词，意为"除了"，相当于except，而B、C 中的but
均为连词，but前后须为对等成分 。
（2）not only（或just）后接句子置于句首时， 句子要采用部分倒装，
但but（also）后的句子则不要倒 装。C中的结构连接两个并列主语时，不需要
倒装，主谓一致应采用就近一致的原则。
（3）"动词＋nothing but＋动词"结构，意为"只得干……，除了干……
别无选择"。前面谓语动词部 分若含有do的形式，but 后的动词为省略to的
不定式，若前面无do的形式，则but后用带to 的不定式形式，即 "带do不
带to，带to不带do"。
