nor do I

这是一个常考题型，在否定的分句(或句子)之后使用nor时，nor之后的分句(或句子)的主语和助动词(或连系动词)要实行倒装。例如：

1. The men were not well dressed. Nor were the women. 这些男人穿得不好。女人们也穿得不好。

2. John doesn't speak French and nor do I. 约翰不会说法语,我也不会说法语。

3. I didn't see it, and nor did you. 我没有看见它，你也没有看见。

4. He never went again, nor did he write to apologize. 他再也没有去，也没有写信道歉。

5. “I don’t like it.” “Nor do I.” “我不喜欢它。”“我也不喜欢。”

6. He did not know then what had happened, nor did he ever find out. 他当时不知道发生了什么事，后来也一直没弄明白。

7. The Mona Lisa's status as the most famous piece of art in the world, Langdon knew, had nothing to do with her enigmatic smile. Nor was it due to the mysterious interpretations attributed her by many art historians and conspiracy buffs. (Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code) 兰登明白，《蒙娜丽莎》之所以成为世界艺术名品，并不是因为蒙娜丽莎拥有神秘微笑，也不是因为众多艺术史学家对它作出了神秘的说明。(《达·芬奇密码》)

请与下列对话进行比较：

“John is not stupid.”“约翰不傻。”

“Nor is his brother.”“他弟弟也不傻。”

在 Nor is his brother. 这个句子里，主语 his brother 传递的是新信息。通过主谓语倒装手段使它得以处在句尾信息核心的位置上，从而突出了它的语意分量（强调另一个主语也具有某种特性）。从语调上看，后置的主语总带有逻辑重音。而在你所提问的句子 Nor he is. 中，is 是信息的焦点，带有逻辑重音，强调上面提到的主语确实不具有某种特性。如果把 is 放在主语之前，它就完不成传递未知信息的任务了。上面的句意是：“约翰不愚蠢。”“是的，他不愚蠢。”见 so did I/so I did。
