A2 noun #1,500 پرکاربردترین 10 دقیقه مطالعه

不但...还

not only... but also

bùdàn...hái رتبه 1,500

At the A1 level, you are just beginning to connect ideas. While '不但...还' is technically an A2 structure, A1 learners can understand it as a way to say 'and also' with more feeling. Imagine you are describing your favorite food. Instead of saying 'I like pizza. I like cake,' you can say 'I not only like pizza, but also like cake.' At this level, focus on simple sentences with the same subject, like 'I not only have a cat, but also have a dog.' The goal is to see how two simple sentences can become one bigger sentence. Don't worry too much about the complex rules yet; just try to use it to list two things you like or two things you can do. It's a great way to make your basic Chinese sound much more advanced than it actually is!

At the A2 level, '不但...还' is a core grammar point you must master. You should be able to use it to describe people, places, and daily activities. This is where you learn the 'Same Subject' rule: the subject goes before '不但'. For example, '他不但高，还很帅' (He is not only tall, but also handsome). You will use this to make your descriptions more vivid. You should also start noticing the difference between using '还' (hái) and '也' (yě) in the second part. Usually, '还' is used when the subject is the same, and '也' is used when the subjects are different. This level is all about building the habit of pairing these two words together correctly in every sentence.

By B1, you should be comfortable using '不但...还' in both spoken and written contexts. You should be able to handle sentences with different subjects, such as '不但我会去，我朋友也会去' (Not only will I go, but my friend will also go). At this stage, you should also begin to experiment with variations like '不但...而且' (érqiě) to sound more formal in your essays. You will use this structure to explain more complex logic, like why a certain policy is good or why a movie was successful. You should also be careful to avoid 'logical mismatches'—ensuring that the second point really is a 'step up' or a logical addition to the first point, rather than just a random fact.

At the B2 level, '不但...还' becomes a tool for nuanced expression and persuasion. You will use it in debates or presentations to stack arguments. For example, '不但这个方案可行，而且它还能长期节省成本' (Not only is this plan feasible, but it can also save costs in the long run). You should also be familiar with more advanced correlatives like '不但不...反而...' (not only not... but on the contrary...). This allows you to express irony or unexpected outcomes. Your focus at B2 is on the 'flow' of the sentence—ensuring that the transition between the '不但' clause and the '还' clause is smooth and that your choice of '还', '也', or '而且' perfectly matches the tone of your speech.

For C1 learners, '不但...还' is often replaced by more literary or sophisticated structures in writing, such as '不仅...抑且' or '非但...更'. However, in high-level spoken Chinese, '不但...还' remains essential for rhetorical emphasis. You will use it to structure complex philosophical or social arguments. At this level, you should be able to use the structure with very abstract concepts and long, nested clauses. You should also understand the rhythmic quality it brings to a sentence—native speakers often use it to create a 'crescendo' effect in their speech, where the second point is significantly more impactful than the first. You are no longer just learning the grammar; you are mastering the art of emphasis.

At the C2 level, you have a native-like command of '不但...还'. You can use it effortlessly in any context, from interpreting a legal document to giving a passionate speech. You understand the subtle differences in meaning when '不但' is placed at the very beginning of a sentence versus after the subject, even in complex cases. You can also play with the structure for stylistic effect, perhaps omitting certain parts for brevity in a way that only a master of the language can. You recognize '不但...还' in classical-style modern prose and can appreciate how it functions to create balance and symmetry in Chinese literature. It is no longer a 'rule' to you, but a versatile tool in your vast linguistic toolkit.

不但...还 در ۳۰ ثانیه

Used to express 'not only... but also' in Chinese sentences.
The subject goes before '不但' if it's the same for both parts.
The subject goes after '不但' if the two parts have different subjects.
Commonly paired with '还', '也', or '而且' in the second clause.

The grammatical structure 不但...还 (bùdàn... hái) is a fundamental progressive conjunction in Mandarin Chinese, equivalent to the English 'not only... but also.' It is used to connect two related ideas, where the second part provides additional, often more significant, information that builds upon the first part. This structure is essential for moving beyond simple sentences and creating more complex, descriptive narratives. It signals to the listener that the speaker is about to add another layer of detail or a surprising fact to the initial statement.

Core Function: To express a progressive relationship between two clauses, indicating that the situation is not limited to the first point but extends to the second.

他不但会说中文，还会说法语。 (He not only can speak Chinese, but also can speak French.)

In the hierarchy of Chinese conjunctions, '不但...还' sits at the A2 level because while the logic is straightforward, it requires an understanding of sentence structure and the placement of subjects. It is more formal than simply using '也' (yě - also) but less formal than literary versions like '不仅...而且' (bùjǐn... érqiě). It is the 'workhorse' of additive logic in daily conversation, used by native speakers to emphasize a variety of positive or negative attributes.

Semantic Scope: It can be used to describe people's abilities, weather conditions, prices, or even abstract concepts like feelings and consequences.

今天不但刮风，还下雨。 (Today it's not only windy, but also raining.)

Understanding this structure allows learners to group related thoughts together, making their speech sound more organized and fluent. It is often the first step in learning how to 'stack' information in Chinese. Without this structure, a learner might say 'He speaks Chinese. He also speaks French.' as two separate sentences. Using '不但...还' synthesizes these into a single, cohesive logical unit.

这个西瓜不但大，还很甜。 (This watermelon is not only big, but also very sweet.)

Emotional Tone: The tone is usually neutral to positive, though it can be used to emphasize negative traits if both parts are negative (e.g., not only late, but also forgot the homework).

他不但迟到了，还没带钥匙。 (He not only arrived late, but also didn't bring his keys.)

这件衣服不但便宜，还好看。 (These clothes are not only cheap, but also good-looking.)

Mastering 不但...还 requires attention to one critical grammatical rule: the position of the subject. In Chinese, the subject's placement depends on whether the two clauses share the same subject or have different subjects. This is the most common area where learners make mistakes, and understanding this rule will significantly improve your grammatical accuracy.

Rule 1: Same Subject: If both clauses refer to the same person or thing, the subject must come before '不但'. The pattern is: [Subject] + 不但... + 还...

我不但喜欢唱歌，还喜欢跳舞。 (I not only like singing, but also like dancing.)

In the example above, 'I' (我) is the subject for both liking singing and liking dancing. Therefore, '我' precedes '不但'. Placing '不但' before '我' in this case would sound unnatural to a native speaker. This rule ensures that the focus remains on the single subject and the multiple actions or traits being attributed to it.

Rule 2: Different Subjects: If the two clauses have different subjects, '不但' must come before the first subject. The pattern is: 不但 + [Subject 1]... + [Subject 2] + 也/还...

不但我会去，他也会去。 (Not only will I go, but he will also go.)

Notice that when the subjects are different ('I' and 'he'), we use '也' (yě) more frequently than '还' in the second clause, though '还' is sometimes possible depending on the context. This shift in word order signals to the listener that the scope of the 'not only' is the entire clause, including the subject itself.

Common Variations: You will often see '不但...而且' (érqiě) or '不但...也' (yě). '还' usually implies a further action or state, while '而且' is a more general 'furthermore'.

他不但聪明，而且很努力。 (He is not only smart, but also very hardworking.)

When using '还', ensure that the second clause represents an addition that is logically consistent with the first. You wouldn't usually say 'He is not only tall but also hates pizza' unless there is a specific context connecting those two unrelated facts. The progression should feel natural and additive.

学习汉语不但有意思，还很有用。 (Learning Chinese is not only interesting, but also very useful.)

我不但买了水果，还买了一些菜。 (I not only bought fruit, but also bought some vegetables.)

The structure 不但...还 is ubiquitous in Chinese society, appearing in everything from casual street conversations to formal news broadcasts. Because it is a 'progressive' structure, it is particularly common in contexts where someone is trying to persuade, describe, or praise something in detail. You will hear it frequently in marketplaces, workplaces, and classrooms.

Daily Life & Shopping: Shopkeepers use it to sell products by highlighting multiple benefits. Friends use it to recommend restaurants or movies.

这家店的菜不但好吃，价格还很便宜。 (The food in this shop is not only delicious, but the price is also very cheap.)

In the workplace, managers might use it to describe a project's scope or an employee's performance. It adds a level of professional polish to a description, showing that the speaker has considered multiple facets of a situation. For instance, a boss might say an employee is 'not only efficient but also very creative.'

Workplace & Professionalism: Used to provide comprehensive feedback or to explain the multifaceted nature of a task.

这个计划不但能省钱，还能提高效率。 (This plan can not only save money, but also improve efficiency.)

In educational settings, teachers use '不但...还' to expand on concepts. It is a key tool for scaffolding information. When a teacher explains a new word, they might say it's 'not only a noun but also can be used as a verb.' This helps students build a more complex mental model of the language.

News & Media: News anchors use the more formal '不但...而且' to report on multifaceted events, such as a policy that affects both the economy and the environment.

这次活动不但吸引了年轻人，还吸引了很多老人。 (This activity not only attracted young people, but also many elderly people.)

Finally, you'll hear it in social media posts and advertisements. Influencers often use it to review products, emphasizing that a gadget is 'not only powerful but also portable.' It is a persuasive tool that builds a stronger case than a simple list of features.

这部电影不但感人，还很有教育意义。 (This movie is not only touching, but also very educational.)

他不但是我的老师，还是我的好朋友。 (He is not only my teacher, but also my good friend.)

While 不但...还 is a relatively simple structure, learners often stumble on specific nuances of Chinese syntax. The most frequent errors involve subject placement, the omission of the second part of the pair, and logical inconsistency between the two clauses. Recognizing these pitfalls is key to achieving natural-sounding Chinese.

Mistake 1: Wrong Subject Position: As mentioned in the usage section, if the subject is the same, it must come before '不但'. Many learners incorrectly put '不但' at the very beginning of every sentence.

❌ 不但他聪明，还很努力。 (Incorrect: Not only he is smart...)
✅ 他不但聪明，还很努力。 (Correct: He is not only smart...)

The second major mistake is forgetting to include '还' or '而且' in the second clause. In English, we can sometimes omit 'but also' or replace it with a comma, but in Chinese, the second part of the conjunction pair is grammatically required to complete the 'progressive' logic. Without '还', the sentence feels unfinished, like a bridge that stops halfway across a river.

Mistake 2: Missing the Second Conjunction: Failing to use '还', '也', or '而且' in the second part of the sentence.

❌ 他不但会说中文，[missing] 会说英文。 (Sounds broken.)
✅ 他不但会说中文，还会说英文。 (Complete.)

Mistake 3: Logical Mismatch: Using '不但...还' to connect two contradictory ideas. This structure is for adding, not contrasting.

❌ 他不但很累，还想去跑步。 (Logical conflict: If he's tired, running isn't a 'progressive' addition.)
✅ 虽然他很累，但是他想去跑步。 (Use 'although... but' for contrast.)

Another subtle mistake is using '不但...还' when the second clause is actually a result of the first, rather than an addition to it. For example, 'Not only did it rain, but I got wet' is better expressed with a causal structure like 'Because it rained, I got wet' unless you are emphasizing the accumulation of bad luck.

他不但不听我的话，还对我发脾气。 (He not only didn't listen to me, but also lost his temper at me.)

他不但在北京住了五年，还在那儿买了房子。 (He not only lived in Beijing for five years, but also bought a house there.)

In Chinese, there are several ways to express the idea of 'also' or 'in addition to.' Understanding the differences between 不但...还 and its synonyms will help you choose the right level of formality and the correct logical emphasis for your sentences.

不但...还 vs. 不仅...而且: '不但...还' is the standard, everyday version. '不仅...而且' (bùjǐn... érqiě) is more formal and is frequently found in written Chinese, academic papers, or formal speeches.

这不仅是我的责任，而且是我的荣幸。 (This is not only my responsibility, but also my honor.)

Another common comparison is with '除了...还' (chúle... hái). While '不但...还' is purely additive (A is true, and B is also true), '除了...还' focuses on 'in addition to A, there is also B.' It often implies that A is a starting point or an exception being included in a larger group.

不但...还 vs. 除了...还: '不但' emphasizes the progressive nature (even more so), while '除了' emphasizes the inclusion (besides this, also that).

除了苹果，我还买了香蕉。 (Besides apples, I also bought bananas.)

Then there is the simple '也' (yě). '也' is the most basic way to say 'also.' It doesn't require a correlative partner like '不但.' Use '也' for simple additions where you don't need the 'not only' emphasis. '不但...还' is like saying 'Not only A, but wait, there's more: B!' whereas '也' is just 'A and B.'

不但...还 vs. 不但...反而: Use '还' for expected or positive additions. Use '反而' for unexpected or contrary additions.

风不但没停，反而更大了。 (The wind didn't stop, but instead got even stronger.)

Lastly, consider '并且' (bìngqiě). This is often used to connect two verbs or two clauses, similar to 'and furthermore.' It is more common in writing and usually connects two actions performed by the same subject. It lacks the 'not only' rhetorical structure of '不但...还' but serves a similar additive purpose.

他同意了我们的计划，并且提供了资金。 (He agreed to our plan and furthermore provided funding.)

她不但长得漂亮，还非常有才华。 (She is not only beautiful, but also very talented.)

سوالات متداول

10 سوال

Generally, no. In the 'not only... but also' structure, '不但' needs a partner like '还', '也', or '而且' to complete the logic. Without it, the sentence sounds unfinished.

'不但...还' is more common in spoken Chinese and sounds a bit more informal. '不但...而且' is slightly more formal and is often used in writing or structured speeches.

If the subject is the same for both clauses, it must go before '不但'. For example: '他不但聪明，还很努力.' (He is not only smart, but also hardworking.)

If the subjects are different, '不但' goes before the first subject. For example: '不但我会去，他也会去.' (Not only will I go, but he will also go.)

Yes. You can say '他不但不喜欢苹果，还不喜欢香蕉.' (He not only doesn't like apples, but also doesn't like bananas.)

Yes, '不只' (bùzhǐ) is a very common synonym, especially in spoken Chinese and in Southern regions or Taiwan. They are interchangeable in most contexts.

Yes, this is a special version where the second part is the opposite of what you'd expect. '不但没下雨，反而出太阳了.' (Not only did it not rain, but instead the sun came out.)

Yes, '不但...也' is very common, especially when the subjects are different. '不但你喜欢，我也喜欢.' (Not only do you like it, I like it too.)

You can use '不但...甚至连...也/都'. For example: '他不但会说中文，甚至连古文也懂.' (He not only speaks Chinese, but even understands classical Chinese.)

'不但' is neutral. It is perfectly fine in both daily conversation and standard writing. For very formal academic writing, '不仅' is often preferred.
