35.否定词

英语中的否定结构多以否定词来表示,常用的否定词有:not,no,never,none,nothing,nobody,nowhere,neither,nor,还有表示近似否定的hardly,seldom,scarcely,barely,rarely,little,few等。

注意:否定词若放在句首时,句子的主谓要倒装。

但否定的名词词组作主语并放在句首时,不能倒装。

36.否定结构

否定结构在英语中是一个常用的结构,它有几种常用的形式。

1)一般否定。在这种结构中,not用以否定全句的意义。

If you are not moving ahead,you are falling behind.

(2)部分否定。否定词not不否定全句,仅否定句中的某一部分。

Don’t be afraid.I am your friend,not your enemy.

(3)转移否定。believe,suppose,think后面所带的that从句若是否定从句时,其否定词移到主句动词前。

I don’t believe (that) you two have met,have you?

I don’t suppose(that) anyone will object to my absence.

(4)接续否定。这种结构指的是在同一句子中重复使用同一否定词,以加强语气。

Although autumn was well advanced,not a leaf had fallen from the trees,not even one.

I can’t go on moving,not even(for)one inch.

也可用不同的否定词。

No nation can afford to offend its allies,not even the United States.

(5)转换否定。英语中有不少形式上像肯定而实际上表示否定意义的句子。同样,也有不少形式上像否定而实际表示肯定意义的句子。

He is the last person to tell a lie.(他不可能说谎。)

6)省略否定。在上下文提供足够语境的情况下,否定结构可有省略的形式。

—I’m afraid not.

Some parents don’t know whether they should satisfy all their children’s needs or not.
