✔ 最佳答案
分別是 “not only … but also”不但連接短語 (phrases), 還可連接連接兩個分句 (clauses)
在連接短語, 兩者可以互用. Choice is too individual to be standardized.
She can speak both Chinese and English.
She can speak not only Chinese but also English.
"both… and" (兩者都, 既 …又)
With often balance this structure, so that the same type of words or expressions follow "both" and "and". 連接同類的字, 短詞
He can both speak and write Japanese.
He has lived in both Britain and America.
"not only …. but also" (不但…而且),
當連接兩個的字, 兩個短詞, 帶有少少 surprise.
Tostão is not only a retired footballer, but also a medical doctor. (1970年巴西國家隊足球員)
Not only men but also women were chosen to do the dirty jobs.
我的選擇:
1. He can both speak German, and sing German songs.
如果說德語, 識唱德文歌, 不認為有什麼特別
2. Mary not only works hard at her studies, but also takes an active part in sports.
比較少有, D.G.S. girls 例外!
(你這句子, grammar 錯, 應該是 takes, 不是 take ~ third person singular)
1. You may go to visit the Disneyland either tomorrow or next week.
You may go to visit the Disneyland both tomorrow and next week.
(most unlikely) 我想大多數人不會短短時間之內 (one week) 去 Disneyland 兩次

"4. You may neither go to visit the Disneyland tomorrow nor next week." ~ 有問題??
may 可能﹐也許 ~ possible to do something; allowed
"neither .. nor" 既不...也不 ~ used when mentioning two things are not true or possible

1. He can not only speak German, but also sung songs. ~ wrong
"sung" is a past participle
2. Mary not only works hard in her study but also active in sports.
"works hard in her study" 與 "active in sports" 不對稱
前者有 verb, 後者無 verb ~ fail to abide by the rule of parallelism

"not only ... (but) also -
used to say that two related things are true or happened, especially when this is surprising or shocking "
