[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very not good, 应换一种说法, This is very bad., It is not good at all. 汉语这事我一点也不知道可译作 I am quite in the dark about the matter.或 About this I knew nothing. 汉语我很不喜欢喝酒。可译作为 I dislike wine very much.或 I am not a bit interested in wine./I dont like wine at all./I am the last person to like wine.
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 be utterly ignorant或 not know the ABC of/know nothing of 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/all things, 因此只能用缩小量的说法。 There is not a single thing in the world without a dual nature.
[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。Where is Mary? 不能改为 where isnt Mary?
2) 句型要求不能用否定式的。How hard-working he is! 不能改为 how hard-working he isnt!
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 (notany); too (noteither); so (neither, no more); a long way (notfar); a lot of/plenty of/a great deal of/a good deal of (notmuch of); asas (not so already still (not yet/ not any more/no more/ no longer)
1. I have got some. I havent got any. 2. I see a great deal of him. I didnt see much of him.
3. We went a long way. We didnt go far. 4. I will do so still. Ill not do so any more.
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must not, 有时也用may not 语气较委婉。
May (Can) I smoke here? - Yes, you may (can). 或No, you must not. 或 You may not smoke here.
B. 表示责任、义务或必要时用must, 否定式只能用need not
Must we hand in our homework today? - Yes, you must. No, you neednt.
C. 表示推测指可能时,用must; 指不可能,不一定时用cannot/could not, 有时也用may not, 口气较委婉,意为也许不。 That must be a mistake. No, it cannot be a mistake. It must not be a mistake
D. 表示推测也常用may,指可能;否定式同上。 He may be right/ He cannot be right. He may not be right.
