4、這臺(tái)車床不能再用了，那臺(tái)也一樣。
誤：This lathe can not be used any longer, and that one can't, too.
正：This lathe can not be used any longer, and that one cna't either.
或：……………………………………………………, neither (nor) can that one.
否定句中的“也”不能譯成too,而須用either，或用neither(nor)的倒裝句型。
5、你不必為你的軍銜和薪金擔(dān)心。
誤：You won't have to worry about rank and pay.
正：You won't have to worry about rank or pay.
在肯定句中用and來連接兩個(gè)并列成分，表示“和”，但在否定句中and應(yīng)改為or, 這時(shí)否定詞對(duì)or的前后部分同時(shí)加以否定。
6、這些規(guī)章制度多不完善！
誤：How not perfect the rules and regulations are!
正：How imperfect the rules and regulations are!
漢語中的感嘆句可用否定式，如：多不光彩呀！多不容易呀！而英語中的感嘆句不能用否定式，我們可用反義詞或帶有否定詞綴的詞來表示。
7、我認(rèn)為這不值得一試。
誤：I think this is not worth trying.
正：I don't think this is worth trying.
英語中表臆想、猜測(cè)的動(dòng)詞think, believe, fancy, expect, guess, imagine, suppose等，如果帶有否定的賓語從句，賓語從句中的否定詞通常提前，用來否定主句的謂語動(dòng)詞。尤其是think,
按習(xí)慣用法，否定詞只能置于think前。
8、他來這兒不是為了求得我們的幫助。
誤：He came here not to ask us for help.
正：He did not come here to ask us for help.
否定狀語時(shí)，英語中的否定詞一般不直接置于被否定詞語前，通常置于謂語動(dòng)詞前。只有當(dāng)兩個(gè)部分加以對(duì)比時(shí)，即“不是……而是”時(shí)，否定詞才可直接置于狀語前。如：他來這兒不是為了求得我們的幫助，而是來給我們提供一些信息。He
came here not to ask us for help, but to give us some information. 即使在這一結(jié)構(gòu)中，英語還是常把否定詞置于謂語動(dòng)詞前。
9、他的設(shè)計(jì)肯定還沒完成。
誤：He mustn't have completed his design.
正：He can't have completed his design.
對(duì)比較有把握的推測(cè)，肯定句中用must，而否定句中用can't，對(duì)過去的推測(cè)，在must和can't后接完成形式。 |
