否定形式 肯定含义

有些句子从形式上看是否定的,但意义上却是肯定的。现将其作一归纳。1.“can/could not be 形容词 enough”或“can/could not 动词原形 too/over”表示“总不嫌过分”或“越……越好”。例如:①W e can not be strict enough in fire prevention.防火问题怎么严格都不过分。②Y ou can not be over careful.你越仔细越好。③I can notrecom m end the book too strongly.无论我怎样竭力推荐这本书也不为过。2.“can/could nothelp doing sth”表示“情不自禁地做某事”。例如:①H earing the good new s,w e couldn t help jum ping and …     

提防误译

1.You can蒺t be too careful. [误]你不能太细心。[正]你越细心越好。[析]can蒺t …too…表示“无论怎么……也不过分，越……越好”，又如：You can蒺t praise him too highly.你无论怎样称赞他都不过分。2.The box is too light to carry. [误]这箱子太轻而不好搬。[正]这箱子搬起来很轻。[析]汉语中的“太”往往作“非常”解，可用于积极意义，也可用于消极意义；而英语中的too一般只用于消极意义，表“过分”“过犹不及”。汉语中的“太好了”不能译作英语too good。因此，“too…to…”结构表示“太……而不……”时，too所修饰的形…     

初二英语第1-3单元重点句型解析

1.not…all…例句:…,so I don‘t know all your names…,所以我并不知道你们所有人的名字。(L1) not与all连用,表示不完全否定,意思是“并非所有的”。表示全体意义的代词和副词,如all,every,both,always,everybody,everything,every-where等,它们用于否定结构时不是表示全部否定,而只表示其中的一部分被否定。不能汉译作“一切……都不……”,而应该译作“一切……不都是……”或“并非一切……都是……”。例如:     

“too…to…”与“so…that…”辨析

“too…to…”句式一般表示“太…以致不能”的意思,用不定式的主动形式表被动含义。如: This book is too difficult to read; He walked too fast for us to catch. “so…that…”句式一般表示“如此…以致;如此…使得…”的意思。如: The statement was so clear that it couldn’t be misunderstood. I got up so early that I was in time for the train. 一般说来,too…to…句式常可转换为so…that…not…”句式,反之亦然。如: The shirt was too dirty for my brother to wear. The shirt was So dirty that my brother wouldn’t wear it . The boy was so frightened that he couldn’t say a word. The boy was too frightened to say a Word.     

英语中部分否定的表示方法

英语中的部分否定（即不完全否定）有如下一些表示方法： 一、all的否定式：not all…（或：all…not）表示“并非都……”、“不是所有的都……”例如：Not all men can be masters．（=All men cannot be masters．）并非人人都能当头头。     

“not+谓语动词+because从句”可能产生的歧义及其排除方法

先看一下这样的两个句子:Certainly I don’tteach because teaching is easy for m e.N or do Iteach because I think I know answers,or becauseI have knowledge I feel com pelled to share.当然,我之所以教书,并不是因为我觉得教书容易。我之所以教书,也不是因为我认为自己能够解答问题,或者因为我满腹学问,情不自禁地要与别人分享。分析:这句话主要涉及的是否定转移(Transferred Negation)的问题。如果not不转移,否定谓语动词的话,其意思为:“因为我觉得教书容易,所以没有教书……”根据上下文,这与文章的意思正好相反,因此这种…

<正>就其否定范围而言,英语中的否定句可分为部分否定(Partial nega tion)和全部否定(complete negation)部分否定常给初学者在理解和翻译过程中带来不少麻烦,即使是英语相当有功底的人,一不留心,也会出现误解.所以,本文就部分否定的表现方式作一探讨,供初学者参考.表示部分否定时,除用含“部分”意义的词汇(some和由some构成的复合代词和副词)加上not以外,还有一些特殊的表示方式,常见的有以下几种.一、not与all,both,every,由every构成的复合代词或副词搭配.这种结构表示部分否定,其汉语意义相当于“…不都”,all…not…=some;both…not…=one or the other;例如:every…not…=some.All his work is not successful.他的工作并不都是成功的.Both of the brothers are not here.两兄弟并不都在这儿.Every horse can not run fast.不是每匹马都能快跑的.
