JumanahAnd What about this sentence?An embassy: is the building where an ambassador either lives or works.Is it correct?Why have you put a colon between the subject and the verb?

An embassy is the building where an ambassador either lives or works.
Besides the grammatical error, the statement is not correct because an ambassador can both live and work in an embassy, not one or the other.

JumanahOkay.What about the three first sentences?Are they natural?!The combination of "going there" and "eating this" seems unlikely. It is hard to think of a situation in which these statements would naturally arise. Apart from that:
I wouldn't like you to either go there or eat this.
I would like you neither to go there

I'd not like you neither to go there or to eat this means I don't want you to not go there or not eat this.is that correct?

JumanahI'd not like you neither to go there or to eat thisThis is not a viable sentence.

I cannot imagine those particular combinations. When you say either..or, neither...nor, the choices need to be related in some way.
I don't want you either to date Marylou or go to her party. She's not a good person.
Either...or is for emphasis. Most of the time we don't use it.
I don't want you to date Marylou, go to her party or even talk to her at
