全部否定 (Total Negation)
表示“全部没有”、“大家都不”等概念称为全部否定,其表示法如下:
1. 用否定词 no, none, neither, never, nowhere, nothing, no one, nobody,
neither ... nor ... 等表示否定,如:
I stayed in all evening waiting, but no
one came.
I have never met such a boring person
before.
I know nothing about the accident.
2. 用否定副词和不定代词、不定形容词和不定副词表示,否定词和 not 加不定代词等的对应关系如下:
no = not any, not a none = not any, not one
neither = not one or the other nobody = not ... anybody
no one = not ...anyone nothing = not ... anything
nowhere = not ... anywhere neither ... nor = not ... either ...
or
否定副词 not 加不定代词通常不能放在句首作主语,所以除了位于句首作主语外,1. 中的否定词都可以改用 not 加不定代词等 的形式表示,如:
I have not any English novels. (=
I have no English novels.)
I don't want either of them. (=
I want neither of them.)
I did not see anybody there. (=
I saw nobody there.)
He has not eaten anything today.
(= He has eaten nothing today.)
They did not go anywhere yesterday.
(= They went nowhere yesterday.)
3. 用具有否定意义的名词、动词、形容词、介词及短语,如 absence, refuse, deny, forget, fail,
differ from, stop... from, at a loss, out of the question 等表示否定,如:
It took place during our absence
from Beijing.
She failed to turn up yesterday.
He climbed the mountain without any difficulty.
I'm at a loss what to say.(我不知该说什么。)
Clearly their victory is out of the question.(很显然,他们是不可能获胜的。)
