【问】 “Which bus should I take to go to the stadium?”“Either of these buses______to the sta-dium.”

A. will go B.going C. go D.goes

托福考题规定选D。但是，下列句子该如何解释呢?

Are either of the boys ready? (LDCE)

【答】 在各类考试中应严格遵守语法一致的原则，因此上面的考题必须选D。但是，有时人们按照概念一致的原则，在作主语的either，neither之后使用复数动词，尤其是在口语中。

1. Are either of you taking lessons. (MD)

你们俩都上课吗?

2. of them are welcome. (CGEL)

他们俩都很受欢迎。

他们俩都不受欢迎。

3.I sent cards to Maris and Margery but neither of them has/have replied…(GCE)我已给马里斯和马杰里寄去了请贴，但两人都没有回音……

这种使用动词复数的句子虽然常常出自名家手笔，但是现今的测试专家仍不承认其为正式用法。各类考生应特别注意这一点。
