A and B don’t…是部分否定嗎？
■本站特約作者 劉青沅
有網(wǎng)友在本站留言問(wèn)A and B don’t…是否是部分否定，留言問(wèn)題如下：
All glitters is not gold. Everyone doesn't go there.這兩句是部分否定吧？和那 ...and...don't 的句子好像相似呀，那為什么那個(gè)不是部分否定而是完全否定呢？那個(gè)句子的完全否定不該是Neither ...nor....嗎？
為此，我們特請(qǐng)本站特約作者劉青沅老師答復(fù)如下：
一、相似并不等于相同
英語(yǔ)中的...and...don't 不屬于部分否定。如以下兩句均摘自《柯林斯斯高級(jí)英語(yǔ)雙解詞典》：
In keeping with tradition, the Emperor and Empress did not attend the ceremony. 按照傳統(tǒng)，皇帝和皇后未參加該儀式。
He assured MPs that ministers and MPs were not subjected to phone taps. 他向議員們保證，部長(zhǎng)和議員的電話不會(huì)遭到竊聽(tīng)。
二、A and B don’t… 與 Neither A nor B…
A and B don’t… 與 Neither A nor B…意思相同，但后者語(yǔ)氣更強(qiáng)。如：
Jim and Jack don’t like the teacher. 吉姆和杰克不喜歡這位老師。
Neither Jim nor Jack doesn’t like the teacher. 吉姆和杰克都不喜歡這位老師。
三、出現(xiàn)部分否定的通常情況
英語(yǔ)中的部分否定主要涉及以下兩類：
1. not all / not both / not everyone / not everybody / not everything / not every…/ not whole 等。
2. not always / not absolutely / not completely / not entirely / not exactly / not wholly 等。
例句：
Not both the boys were ill. 并不是兩個(gè)孩子都病了。
Not everybody can do it. 并不是人人都能做。
Not everything is ready. 并不是每件東西都準(zhǔn)備好了。
Not all of the women like the word Ms. 并非所有的女性都喜歡Ms這個(gè)詞。
We didn’t exactly see eye to eye. 我們的觀點(diǎn)并非完全一致。
I haven’t been completely candid with him. 我對(duì)他并非完全坦誠(chéng)。
This government is not entirely free of suspicion. 這個(gè)政府并非完全不受置疑。
Opportunities such as this did not come every day. 這樣的機(jī)會(huì)不是天天都有的。
She claimed the unemployment figures were not entirely unexpected. 她聲稱失業(yè)率并非完全出乎意料。
Such benevolence, however, was not completely disinterested. 然而這樣的善舉并非完全出于大公無(wú)私。
I couldn’t understand every word but I got the drift of what he was saying. 他說(shuō)的話，我不是句句都聽(tīng)得明白，只懂了個(gè)大意。
Their ideas on how to raise children didn’t always agree. 在怎樣撫養(yǎng)孩子的問(wèn)題上，他們的觀點(diǎn)并非總是一致。
Not everyone will share your enthusiasm for this scheme. 并非所有人都會(huì)和你一樣對(duì)此方案充滿熱情。
