摘要:正如漢語說的沒有~不一樣,英語有時(shí)也可使用這樣否定的否定,即所謂的雙重否定。正如 (-1) (-1) = (+1) 一樣,雙重否定的結(jié)果是肯定的。 如: 沒有人不同情那位意外的犧牲者。 There was no one who did n
正如漢語說的“沒有~不……”一樣,英語有時(shí)也可使用這樣“否定的否定”,即所謂的雙重否定。正如 (-1) × (-1) = (+1) 一樣,雙重否定的結(jié)果是肯定的。 如:
沒有人不同情那位意外的犧牲者。
There was no one who did not feel sympathy for the victims of the accident.
=Everyone felt sympathy for the victims of the accident.
一個(gè)家庭在日常生活中使用一輛以上的車子并不特別稀奇。
It is not unusual for a family to have more than one car to use in daily life.
=It is usual for a family to have more than one car to use in daily life.
沒有人沒東西吃的。
Nobody had nothing to eat.
=Everyone had something to eat.
never...without...型雙重否定,其意為:沒有~決不……;要~一定會(huì)……
The dog never crosses a street without stopping at the curb. 那只狗每次要過街時(shí),都會(huì)在人行道邊緣停下來。
雙重否定就內(nèi)容而言雖是表肯定的,但和原本就是肯定形者并不完全相同。比方說,not unusual (并非不尋常) 與usual (普通) 在感覺上就不完全相同,多了一點(diǎn)兒猶豫的情緒。
雙重否定用于表示肯定的內(nèi)容時(shí),因形式上仍屬否定句,所以附加問句為肯定形。如:
No Japanese breakfast is complete without misosoup, is it? 沒有味噌湯的日式早餐就不夠完整,不是嗎?
操作成功
