СОЮЗЫ EITHER…OR, NEITHER…NOR

Союз either…or [`ai¶c…`]:] переводится на русский язык «или…или» и употребляется в утвердительных предложениях: Tom is either in the garden or in the park. (Том или в саду, или в парке.) I eat either pancakes or porridge for breakfast.

(Я ем или блины, или кашу на завтрак.) В отрицательных предложениях употребляется союз neither…nor[`nai¶c `n]:] в значении «ни…ни»: Tom is neither in the garden nor in the park. (Тома нет ни в саду, ни в парке.) Если в предложении есть отрицательный союз neither…nor, то смысловой глагол не имеет отрицательной частицы not.

Местоимение neither часто употребляется обособленно и означает «ни то, ни другое»: What would you like: tea or coffee? – Neither. I’d like some juice. (Что бы ты хотел выпить: чай или кофе? – Ни то, ни другое. Я бы хотел выпить соку.)

Оба местоимения часто употребляются в пословицах и идиомах:

Either win the saddle or lose the horse.	Или выиграешь седло, или потеряешь лошадь. = Или пан, или пропал.
Neither here nor there.	Некстати, не относится к делу = Ни к селу, ни к городу.
Neither man nor mouse.	Ни человека, ни мыши. = Никого нет, ни души.
Neither bite nor supper.	Ни куска за целый день = Не евши, не пивши.
Neither hide nor hair.	Нет никаких известий = Ни слуху, ни духу.
Neither more nor less.	Ни больше, ни меньше.
Neither fish nor flesh.	Ни рыба, ни мясо = бесхарактерный человек.
