a.not only did he laugh,but he also broke the glass at the same time.
上面句野有冇錯...兩句句子可唔可以前後唔對稱?
順帶一問
b.消除煩惱的英文點講?

✔ 最佳答案
其實你的句子一點問題都沒有，因為根本就前後對稱，只不過可能因你用了倒裝法，故一時混淆了連接not only的那句，是用了過去式（其時態已在did反映），而連接but also那句，也同樣用了過去式，其時態已在broke反映，因此並沒有前後不對稱問題
英文文法學者Micheal Swan在其Practical English Usage也有一例，如下：
Not only did we lose our money, but we were nearly killed.
ｂ． 至於消除煩，樓上仁兄仁姐們已經答了你，但我們也可以用kill來說消除，像網上英文網站Hollywood.com就有以下標題
Celebrities Hasselhoff Turned to Alcohol to 'Kill Anxiety' ...
希望幫到你！

Not only ... but (also) ... : 不僅…而且…<對等連接詞>。
not only和but also連接的部份必須具有同等的語法成分。
上面句子有誤,唔對等。
(1) 如果連接兩個<動詞>時，前後的時式要一致；
Mary not only cleaned the room but (also) washed the window.
瑪麗不但清掃房間而且也洗刷窗子。
(2) 如用於連接兩個<主詞>時，重點在第二個<主詞>，因此<動詞>須與第二個<主詞>一致。
Not only you but (also) I am to blame.
不僅你，連我都要受責難。
(3) 若連接對等的<主要子句>，而由 not merely，not only 開頭，則要用倒裝形式。
Not only is she beautiful, but she is (also) kind.
她不僅漂亮，而且善良。

(2) He not only laughed but also broke the glass. [ with same tense 過去式]
but 後面的 he 不需要

as for 2 different subjects,要用倒裝形式, not only 開頭
e.g. Not Only Did Bush Lie, But Fred also Lied.[不僅Bush撒謊 而且Fred 撒謊]
but it is wrong (錯誤)to say,
e.g. Bush Not Only Lie, But Fred also Lied.[Bush不僅撒謊 而且Fred 撒謊](錯誤)
not only和but also連接的部份必須具有同等的語法成分。
