【问】 1985年攻读硕士研究生入学考试英语试题中有这样一道改错题：

Neither his training nor experience a railway engineer him his job.

答案为C(要求将qualify改为qualifies)。但我认为在neither... nor...之后用动词复数qualify也是正确的。请看下面的实例：

1. Neither my father nor I were there that day.(《新编英语语法》(下)，P. 791)

我父亲和我那天都不在哪儿。

2. Neither he nor his wife have the faintest idea of what lies beyond it.(同上)

他和他妻子对此外的事情所知甚少。

【答】 见neither... nor... is/are¹ 。
