If you say that something is neither here nor there, you mean that it does not matter because it is not a relevant point.

“来之前我从未听说过她。”——“那没什么。”
e.g. Whether or not he realised the fact was neither here nor there.

Do not confuse neither and none. You use neither in negative statements to refer to two people or things. Neither had close friends at university. You use neither of in the same way, followed by a pronoun or a noun group. Neither of them spoke... Neither of these extremes is desirable. Note that you can also use neither before a singular count noun. Neither side can win. You use none in negative statements to refer to three or more people or things. None could afford the food. You use none of in the same way, followed by a pronoun or a noun group. None of them had learned anything... None of his companions answered.
不要混淆 neither 和 none 的用法。neither 是对两个人或物的否定，如：Neither had close friends at university (两个人在上大学时都没有亲密的朋友);neither of 的用法与 neither 相同，后跟代词或名词短语，如：Neither of them spoke (两个人都不说话)，Neither of these extremes is desirable (两个极端都不可取);注意可以在单数可数名词前使用 neither，如：Neither side can win (双方都赢不了)。在否定三个或三个以上的人或物时，使用 none，如：None could afford the food (没有人买得起这些食物);none of 的用法与 none 相同，后跟代词或名词短语，如：None of them had learned anything (他们中谁也没学到任何东西)，None of his companions answered (他的同伴谁也没吭声)。

adj.(形容词)

neither常用在不带冠词的单数名词之前,谓语动词要用单数形式。

pron.(代词)

neither用作代词时表示“两者都不”,可单独使用,用于没有冠词、物主代词、指示代词等限定词修饰的单数名词前,用作主语时,谓语动词用作单数形式,也可以和介词of连用,后接复数名词或人称代词,名词前面一定要有限定词修饰。

neither作主语时,谓语动词在大多数情况下用第三人称单数形式,但在neither of...后可以用单数形式,也可以用复数形式。

adv.(副词)

在一个否定性陈述以后,可用neither表示这一否定性陈述也同样适用于另一人或另一事物,常用来接别人的话,引起一个主句或从句。

neither可用在句子的开头或用在简略答语中,表示“也不”, neither前可有and或but,后接倒装语序。

conj.(连词)

neither用作连词常与nor一起连用,连接两个相同成分,如两个主语或宾语,意思是“既不…也不”。

如果连接的是两个主语,句中谓语动词的人称和数取决于nor后面的离动词最近的名词或代词的人称和数。

pron.(代词)

neither, both, either

这三个词都表示“两者…”。neither表示“两者都不…”,常与单数谓语动词搭配; both表示“两者都…”,常与复数谓语动词搭配; either表示“两者之一”,常与单数谓语动词搭配。
