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
Negation before a Negative Word
Structure
Subj. + 不是 + 不 / 没 + Predicate
Subj. + 不 + 会 / 能 / 可能 + 不 / 没 + Predicate
The predicate part of the pattern can be a verb or an adjective.
Examples
- 他 不 会 不 来 的 。There is no way he's not coming.
- 她 不 可能 不 知道 。There is no way she doesn't know about this.
- 她 太 害羞 了 ，不是 不 礼貌 。She's too shy; It's not that she's not polite.
- 他 不是 没有 钱 ，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.
- 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.
Negation before Single Noun
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 学校 没有 一 个 学生 没 参加 高考 的 。There is no single student who didn't take the college entrance exam in our school.
- 这些 菜 没有 一 个 不 辣 的 。There is no single one that is not spicy among these dishes.
