主要分两种,简单的是对能愿动词和谓语动词进行双重否定,较复杂的是对主语和谓语分别进行否定。
Contents
Basic Usage
Structure
最简单的用法:
Subj. + 不是 + 不 / 没 + Predicate
跟能愿动词搭配:
Subj. + 不 + 会 / 能 + 不 / 没 + Predicate
The predicate part of the pattern can be a verb or an adjective.
Examples
- 我 不 是 不 知道 怎么 做 ,只是 不 想 做 。It's not that I don't know how to do it, I just don't want to do it.
- 他 不 是 没有 钱 ,只是 不 想 乱 花 钱 。It's not that he doesn't have money, it's just he doesn't want to spend it recklessly.
- 老板 不 会 不 同意 的 。The boss can't disagree.
- 他 是 你 最好 的 朋友 ,不 会 不 来 参加 你 的 婚礼 。He is your best friend. There is no possibility he won't come take part in your wedding.
- 我 知道 你 想 减肥 ,但是 不 能 不 吃 早饭 。I know you want to lose weight, but you can't not eat breakfast.
Advanced Pattern
这个结构用于遍指,常常用topic comment。"没有一个人"相当于"没有哪个人"或者"没有谁"。
Structure
没有 + [Single Noun] + 不 / 没 + Predicate + 的
Examples
- 没有 一 个 人 不 讨厌 他 的 。 There is not one person who doesn't dislike him.
- 我们 公司 没有 一 个 员工 不 会 说 英语 的 。Our company doesn't have a single employee who can't speak English.
- 他 的 女朋友 没有 一 个 不 漂亮 的 。None of his girlfriends were not beautiful.
- 我们 家 没有 一 个 没 上 过 大学 的 。Our family doesn't have a single person who didn't go to college.
- 学校 的 活动 他 没有 一 次 不 参加 的 。There is no single school activity that he didn't attend.
