(2)The traditional rule also holds that neither is grammatically singular:

每一位候选人都被记者百般纠缠。

(3)However, it is often used with a plural verb, especially when followed by of and a plural:

但它常跟复数动词连用，尤其当后跟of 和一个复数名词时：

Neither of the candidates are really expressing their own views. ·

没有一位候选人真实地表达出他们的观点。 ·

(4)As a conjunction neither is properly followed by nor, not or, in formal style:

作为一个连词，在正式文体中neither 后宜跟 nor 而不是 or ：

Neither prayers nor curses (not or curses ) did any good. See Usage Note at either, every, he 1none, nor 1or 1

祈祷和咒语（而不用 or curses ) 都不会起任何作用 参见 either， every， he1none， nor1or1
