你的句子除了3正确外,其他都有问题,要么错误,要么笨拙。

1. Neither we want it nor they want it.  改为:Neither we nor they want it. 

2. Neither we want it nor do they want it. 改为:Neither we nor they want it. 

3. He neither smokes nor drinks.  (正确)

4. Neither does he smoke nor does he drink.  改为: Neither does he smoke nor drink. 

5. He neither smokes nor does he drink.  改为:He neither smokes nor drinks. 


解答依据:根据《剑桥英语语法》,neither ...nor...不能用于句首连接两个主句。请看该书p 1309页的解释:

请注意带*号的句子为错句。

备注(2)neither…nor…连接单词和短语前后使用陈述语序结构
