[注2]"notwithout…"表示"不无…"、"不是没有…"的意思,是一种委婉的说法。

Apartfrom(Besides)English,heisalsowellversedinRussian.(多用于带有also等副词的肯定句)

1.Hurlinginsultsandthreatsiscertainlynotfighting.2.Itsimplywillnotdo!

2.Youngpeopleshouldonnoaccount(=shouldnotonanyaccount)neglecttheirdailyphysicalexercise.

3.Wehaveideals,butwearebynomeansvisionaries.4.Hewillinnowisegiveupstudy.

[注]其他加强否定的方式:1.[…beanythingbut…](决不是)Heisanythingbutascholar.

2.[(Thereis)no+V-ing](决不可)Thereisnodenyingthefact.=Itisabsolutelyimpermissibletodenythefact.因此语意比下句强,"Itisimpossibletodenythefact."

句型35[主语+否定式谓语+微量词+名词+其他]

1.Wemustneverforamomentdivorceourselvesfromthemasses.

2.Themotherdidnothaveawinkofsleepthewholenightonaccountofthechild'shighfever.

3.Hedidnotbreatheasinglewordaboutit.

4.ThoughIhavewalkedtwentymiles,Iamnotabittired.

5.Thelittleboyisdofullofenergythatherefusedtostayputforanylengthoftime.

[注]表示微量词的词组中以intheleast为最常见,不少的微量词可用它代替。如:

Iamnotintheleasttired.Iwasnotsurprisedintheleast.Thatboywasnotintheleastafraidofthesnake.

句型36[...否定词+名词+大范围词语...]

1.Therewillbenodifficultyintheworldwhichtheycannotovercome.

2.Thedoctorwaswritingabook,butitwentonsoslowlythatitwouldnotbefinishedwithinathousandyears.

4.Hewasnotatallconfused.5.Itisofnovalueatall.

6.Thisisahistoricaltrendnoforceonearthcanholdback.

[附注1]与汉语中的否定式相对应的英语不一定要用否定式。如:"很不好",不能译成英语的"verynotgood",应换一种说法,"Thisisverybad.","Itisnotgoodatall."汉语"这事我一点也不知道"可译作"Iamquiteinthedarkaboutthematter."或"AboutthisIknewnothing."汉语"我很不喜欢喝酒。"可译作为"Idislikewineverymuch."或"Iamnotabitinterestedinwine./Idon'tlikewineatall./Iamthelastpersontolikewine.

其次要注意分析。汉语"一窍不通",是缩小否定数量的说法,最好译成"beutterlyignorant"或"notknowtheABCof…/knownothingof…又如"世界上一切事物无不具有两重性",这里有几个强调的词语:"世界上","一切事物","无不"。"一切事物"不能用all/allthings,因此只能用缩小量的说法。"Thereisnotasinglethingintheworldwithoutadualnature."

[附注2]一般说来,只要需要,所有的肯定句都可以改为否定句,但一定要依照前面所介绍的各种句型的要求。此外,还应考虑以下几点:

1)逻辑上说不过去的不能改为否定句。WhereisMary?不能改为whereisn'tMary?

2)句型要求不能用否定式的。Howhard-workingheis!不能改为howhard-workingheisn't!

3)除句型28中列举的一些强调词语有分工外,以下词语只用于肯定句,否定句应采用括号中相对应的异根同义词。Some(not…any);too(not…either);so(neither,nomore);alongway(not…far);alotof/plentyof/agreatdealof/agooddealof…(not…muchof);as…as(notso…as);alreadystill(notyet/notanymore/nomore/nolonger…)

1.Ihavegotsome.→Ihaven'tgotany.2.Iseeagreatdealofhim.→Ididn'tseemuchofhim.

3.Wewentalongway.→Wedidn'tgofar.4.Iwilldosostill.→I'llnotdosoanymore.

4)注意may,must,need,can(could)在肯定句与否定句中的含义变化,对应关系也会出现交错现象。

A.表示许可用may(口语中常用can);表示禁止通常用mustnot,有时也用maynot语气较委婉。

"May(Can)Ismokehere?"-"Yes,youmay(can)."或"No,youmustnot."或"Youmaynotsmokehere."

B.表示责任、义务或必要时用must,否定式只能用neednot

"Mustwehandinourhomeworktoday?"-"Yes,youmust.No,youneedn't."

C.表示推测指"可能"时,用must;指"不可能","不一定"时用cannot/couldnot,有时也用maynot,口气较委婉,意为"也许不"。Thatmustbeamistake.No,itcannotbeamistake.Itmustnotbeamistake

D.表示推测也常用may,指"可能";否定式同上。Hemayberight/Hecannotberight.Hemaynotberight.
