  重要知识讲解

  【原句】

  They make me sick! And so do you, you cheapskate!

  他们让我恶心 !你也是,你个小气鬼 !

  【解析】

  这里的so在意义上相当于in the same way,即同样、 也那样,作简短反应表示同样看法时常用之。

  "So+do+主语"结构 在简短反应中表示"我也如此"或"另外一个人也如此"时,也就是主语不同于上文的主语以及上 文并无可用于构成倒装的动词(即操作词时), 可用此结构。

  例如:

  A:I like playing football.

  B:So do I./So does my brother./So did my father.

  如果上文有可用于构成倒装的动词时,则用相同 的动词或根据不同人称用同类的动词。

  I must go -- So must I.

  John can speak French.--So can I.

  I‘ve got a new car.--So has John.

  She is clever.-- So is he.
