题目

The Sichuan Restaurant and the old fish shop across the street from our middle school are gone
这句话最后用了.from our middle school are gone,这个ARE用的对吗?不是说and连接的并列结构采用就近原则,谓语动词和最靠近的主语数一致吗?那and the old fish shop是单数啊,怎么能用are?
最后请附上翻译

答案

谁说and结构是就近原则了……
这里主语是A and B,明显是两种不同的事物,当然是要用复数are了……
翻译：在我们中学马路对面的四川餐馆和旧鱼店已经不见了.
常见的就近原则：
以either…or,or,neither…nor和not only…but also,whether…or；not…but; not only…but also 等连接的两个主语,其谓语的单复数形式应与离谓语最近的主语保持一致.
如：Either you or he has to go there with me.
由there或here引起的主语,而又不止是一个时,采取就近原则.如：Here is a pen,a few envelopes and some paper for you.
在倒装句中：谓语可与后面第一个主语一致.e.g.x0b①In the distance was heard the clapping of hands and the shouts of the people .在远处,能听见鼓掌声和人们的呼喊声.
