该题答案为E,经查询曼哈顿论坛，发现有人提出"...with but" just does not seem right. Can someone please give me another example of this use. 对此也感到很是疑问，文中的实际意思我认为应理解为共同发生但是相互独立，但是通常but 表示转折关系。对此Ron 解答为：you're not separating this construction at the correct place. it's a parallel structure, with two prepositional constructions, separated by "but also":simultaneously with
...but also...
independently of
看完后更加困惑，因为只有在not only ....but also里 also可以省略掉，但句子前面并没有，这里怎么体现的平行关系而不是转折关系呢？求解
