The traditional rule requires thatnor be used following neither in expressions in which the negation is carried over to the second element:He is neither able nor (not or ) willing to go. Noris likewise required when a negation is carried over into the second of two independent clauses, in which caseit also triggers inversion of the subject and the auxiliary verb in the second clause:
傳統規則要求nor 用於 neither 後面， 在這種表達中，否定放在第二個部分：他既不能也 （不用 or ) 不願走。 Nor在當兩個獨立句子中的第二個也被否時被用， 在這種用法中，它也引起第二個句子主語和助動詞的轉變：
例句：
He cannot find anyone now, nor does he expect to find anyone in the future;
現在他找不到任何人，以後也別夢想找到任何人 ；

例句：
Jane will never compromise with Bill, nor will Bill compromise with Jane.
簡決不會同比爾和解，而比爾也決不會同簡和解。

When the first negative is expressed bynot or never, however, and when the second conjoined element is a verb phrase,the use ofnor is often optional:
然而當第一個否定詞用not 或 never 表達， 且當第二個連結部分是動詞短語時，nor 的用法通常可選擇：
例句：
He will not permit the change, or (or nor ) even consider it.
他決不會容許改變，或者（或者用 nor ） 甚至考慮它。

When a noun phrase of the typeno this or that is introduced by no, or is more common than nor :
當一個名詞短語以形式no this or that 被 no，or 引入時比 nor 更常用：
例句：
He has no experience or interest (less frequently nor interest ) in chemistry.
對於化學他既沒經驗也沒興趣（很少用 nor interest ) 。

Oris also more common than nor when such a noun phrase, adjective phrase, or adverb phrase is introduced bynot :
Or在下面這種情況下比 nor 常用， 如一個名詞短語、形容詞短語或副詞短語被not 引導時：
例句：
He is not a philosopher or a statesman.
他既不是哲學家也不是政治家。
