1、否定(NEGATION)否定(Negation)与肯定(Affirmative)相对。英语中的否定结构形式多样，有部分否定、全部否定、几乎否定、双重否定等。在译成汉语时，有时要将否定结构译成肯定含义，有时又要将肯定结构译成否定含义；有时在英语中否定主语，译成汉语时就要转换成否定谓语。诸如此类的现象很多，值得探讨。一、常用否定表示法1.部分否定1代词或副词与not搭配代词或副词如all， both, every, everybody, every day, everyone, anybody, many, everything, entirely, altogether, absolutely,

2、 wholly,completely，everywhere,always,often等与not搭配使用时，表示部分否定，意为“并非都是，不是每个都是”等。例如：Both of them are not my brothers.他们两个不全是我的兄弟。(这一句是部分否定，不可译成“他们两个都不是我的兄弟”，如要表达这个意思，要说：Neither of them is my brother.)All is not gold that glitters.闪闪发光物，未必皆黄金。=Not all is gold that glitters.Every man can not do it.不是每个人都能

3、做这件事。=Not every man can do it.All are not friends that speak us fair.对我们和和气气说话的人并非都是朋友。I do not remember all these formulas.这些公式我并非全都记得。This kind of tree is not found everywhere.这种树并非哪里都能找到。Everyone can not answer this question.并非每个人都能回答这个问题。The rich are not always happy.富人未必总是幸福的。Every couple is no

4、t a pair.成对成双多，珠联璧合少。(=Not every couple is a pair.)Not all her work is successful.并非她所有的工作都是成功的。Not all birds can fly.并非所有的鸟都会飞。All are not thieves that dogs bark at.遭狗狂吠者，并非皆盗贼。Not every child wants to become a film star.并非所有的孩子都想成为电影明星。为作家c nan connor be a wrier.并非每个人都可成Every man cannot be ahero.并

5、非人人都能成为英雄。All bread is not baked in one oven.人生性各异，不可强求同。Not every horse can run fast.并非每匹马都跑得快。Not both of them are fit for the job.他们两人不是都适合这个工作。I dont want both of the dictionaries.我不是两本词典都想要。He doesnt always stay up late.他不是总是睡得很晚。I dont go to work every day.我不是每天都去上班。Not all men are honest.不是所有

6、的人都诚实。Not all English people like fish and chips.并不是所有英国人都喜欢炸鱼加炸土豆条。All is not lost that is in peril.身陷危难时，并非万事休。He didnt eat all the cake.他并没有把所有的蛋糕都吃完。All are not capable that are in high position.身居高位者，并非皆贤才。Allteachers of English are not experiencedteachers.并非所有英语教师都是有经验的。All truths are not to b

7、e told at all times.不是所有的实情在所有场合都适宜说出。She didnt attend every lecture.她并非每一个讲座都听。Both the books are not worth reading.这两本书并非都值得读。All the scientists are not geniuses.并非所有的科学家都是天才。These rules dont apply to all cases.这些规则并不适用于所有的情况。I dont know everything about him.对他的情况我并不都了解。She is not always excited.她

8、并非总是兴奋。I dont altogether agree with you.我并不完全同意你。It is not altogether bad.那并不完全是坏事。I dont like both.并非两个我都喜欢。He is not absolutely wrong.他并不完全错。I dont wholly believe it.我并不完全相信它。She is not entirely mistaken.她并没有完全弄错。【提示】all.not和both.not有时可以表示全部否定，这时，句中一般有情态动词。例如：All the difficulties cannot make him g

9、ive up.没有什么困难能够使他放弃。All the money in the world wont make her happy.世界上所有的钱也不能使她幸福。2all, both, everybody等与带有否定意义的词(decline，fail，nothing等)连用，或者与带有否定词缀的词(dishonest，unhappy等)连用，表示全部否定，意为“都不，全不”。例如：All of them were unhappy.他们都不幸福。(=None of them was happy.)Both girls disbelieve in his words.两个女孩都不相信他的话。Al

10、l these politicians are dishonest.所有这些政客都不诚实。All their attempts came to nothing.他们所有的努力都毫无结果。not.all和not.anybody等有时既可表示部分否定，也可表示全部否定。例如：She wasnt listening all the time.她一直没有注意听。(否定的中心是谓语wasntlistening)她并不是一直都在注意听。(否定的中心是allthe time)She doesnt lend her car to anybody.她的车不借给任何人。(降调，全部否定)她的车不是任何人都给借的。

11、(升调，部分否定)2明修栈道，暗度陈仓汉语有句成语：“明修栈道，暗度陈仓”，指的是一种虚虚实实、声东击西、使人莫辨真相的战术，表现了虚指与实指、形式与实质的不同。说来也巧，英语语言中的否定结构也往往具有这种形与实不符的现象，形式上否定的是A，但实际意义上否定的却是B.等等。这种否定的虚实移位，往往造成歧义，需细加辨别。(1)否定主语，但否定词not在形式上往往否定谓语，也就是上文所说的“部分否定”。全称代词all，both，everybody等作否定句主语时，都可能产生否定移位，形式上否定全体，但实际上否定部分，参阅上文。再如：Everybody can not enjoy the music

12、.并非每个人都能欣赏这首曲子。(=Not everybody can enjoy the music.)(2)否定表语和宾语，但否定词not在形式上往往否定谓语。这种否定也是用否定全体的形式来否定部分，常同all，everyone等连用。例如：I dont agree with all of you.我并不完全同意你们。(=I agree with some of you.)I dont like both of the books.这两本书我并非都喜欢。(=I like not both of them.)(只喜欢其中的一本)The cloth does not feel very soft

13、.这布摸起来不是太柔软。(=The cloth feels not very soft.)(3)否定状语，但否定词not在形式上往往否定谓语。例如：I did not do it for myself.我做那件事并非为了自己。(=I did it not for myself.)He didnt shout to frighten you.他大声喊叫不是为了吓唬你。Henry doesnt inspire fear like his brother.亨利不像他弟弟那样使人望而生畏。The student did not sit there listening to theteacher.那个学

14、生坐在那里，并没有听老师讲课。She didnt return the same person that she left.返回时，她同先前离开时判若两人。He has not come to the decision quickly.他并不是匆忙做出决定的。(=He has come to the decision notquickly.)She didnt come to complain, but to solve theproblem.她来这里不是发牢骚的，而是解决问题的。They did not go into the mountains to hunt animals,but to

15、 protect them.他们进山去不是为了捕杀动物，而是要保护它们。但是，谓语中的否定词not并非只能否定其后的状语，如上面第二个例句也可理解为For myself，Idid not do it.(我为了自己，没做那件事。)为避免歧义，可以将状语提前，并在其后加逗号。如果是遇到not.because句型，若否定主句，可将because从句提到主句前，或在because从句前加逗号同主句隔开；若否定从句，可在because前加not，或用It is/was.that.结构。在口语中，否定主句时，主句谓语动词用降调；否定从句时，主句谓语动词读升调。下面几个句子均能产生歧义，试加以分析，并调整句

16、子结构以排除歧义。The poem is not found in this volume.She didnt come to the meeting by train.He didnt buy the picture because it was cheap.(4) happen，prove，pretend等后有否定不定式时，否定词not往往移位否定谓语。例如：She didnt happen to be present.她当时恰巧不在场。He didnt pretend to notice the misprint.他假装没注意到那个印刷错误。(5)在not.and.结构中，and连接两个

17、表语、谓语动词、状语、定语或宾语，表示部分否定，否定的往往是and后的部分。例如：The house is not big and comfortable.这房子很大，但不舒适。He does not speak Russian and French.他说俄语，但不说法语。Dont drink and drive.不要酒后开车。(喝了酒就不要开车。)These are not cheap and wear-resistant rubbers.这些胶鞋价格便宜，可就是不耐穿。The man is not rich and kind.那人为富不仁。She did not speak correct

18、ly and clearly.她说得正确，但不够清楚。We cannot put on airs and make people like us.要是摆架子，别人就不会喜欢我们。He is not a bright and diligent boy.他并不是个又聪明又勤奋的孩子。(他是个聪明的孩子，但不勤奋。)【提示】在古雅的文体中，还常用“行为动词+not”这种否定结构。例如：I know not what else she can do for you.我不知道她还能为你做什么。(相当于do not know)He doubted not but that she would regret

19、 someday.我相信她有一天会后悔的。(相当于did not doubt)2some与not连用也构成部分否定。例如：I dont like some of the exhibits.有些展品我不喜欢。I dont like any of the exhibits.展品我一个也不喜欢。She didnt invite some of her colleagues.有些同事她没有邀请。She didnt invite any of her colleagues.她的同事她一个也没有邀请。2.全部否定英语中表示全部否定时常用no，not，none,nobody, nothing, nowher

20、e,neither,never等。例如：None of my friends smoke.我的朋友都不抽烟。Neither of the substances dissolves in water.这两种物质都不溶于水。The book is nowhere to be found.那本书哪儿也找不到。No cigarette is completely harmless.香烟没有完全无害的。Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.世上无难事，只怕有心人。Never have we been daunt

22、认识。(全部否定)I do not know all of them.他们我并非个个都认识。(部分否定)Not any student has read these magazines.没有任何学生读过这些杂志。(全部否定)并非任何学生都读过这些杂志。(部分否定)The horse cannot carry your luggage and hers.这匹马既不能驮你的行李，也不能驮她的行李。(全部否定)这匹马不能既驮你的行李，又驮她的行李。(部分否定)Sam didnt sleep for eight hours.萨姆八个小时没睡觉。(全部否定)萨姆没有睡足八个小时。(部分否定)3.双重否定

23、，意义肯定双重否定是指同一个句子里出现两个否定词，即否定之否定。双重否定句表示的意思是肯定的，通常比肯定句的语气更重或更委婉。译成汉语时可以译成肯定形式，也可以保持双重否定的形式。双重否定表示法多种多样，主要有：1no/not+否定意义形容词；2no/not/never/few+否定意义动词；3no/not/never+without+名词/动名词；4 not+否定意义副词；no+否定意义名词；6can not.and not。例如：No one cancommand others who cannot command himself.正人先正己。There was never a great
