you should say:很久以前,在一个夜黑风高的傍晚(夜晚or晚上)......!i feel your this sentence is very hummer!not only.......but also.....是一个表示递进和进层关系的复句, For example:matt 不但英文好,而且(并且)中文也很棒!

不必用這種結構 也可以寫出很道地的句子 : 很久很久以前, 一個月黑風高的晚上... 月黑風高 : 形容沒有月亮,風很大的晚上。 在寫文章時 應用這種結構 不免就顯得累贅了 不過 可以應用在說故事時 作為鋪陳意境之用 很久很久以前,在 一個 天色不但很黑,而且北風也很強的夜晚...

I am so sorry.It is not correct. 很久以前,在一个漆黑多风的夜晚。not only.......but also.....表示强调,可以不翻译( To express emphasis and can not translate)
