英语作文素材:否定句中的非否定现象

导语:有些英语句子不可“貌相”(望文生义),它们明明看起来是否定形式,有时却可以表示肯定的意义,甚至表示非常强烈的肯定意义。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文素材,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

否定句

1. can / could not … too 表示“无论怎样也不过分”。例如:

You can never be too careful in performing an experiment. 做实验越仔细越好。

2. can / could not be + enough 意为“无论怎么都不够”,表示强烈的肯定。例如:

3. too … not to 表示“太……不会不……”,具有肯定意义。例如:

He is too careful not to have noticed it.

他那么小心,一定会注意到这一点的。

4. never too … to 是对 too … to 的再否定,表示肯定。例如:

5. not … for nothing 中, not 用来否定 for nothing ,从而加强了谓语的肯定意义。例如:

6. nothing if not 表示“极其”,含强烈的肯定意义。例如:

8. nothing but 表示“只有;只不过”,含肯定意义。例如:

10. 双重否定表示强烈的肯定。例如:

12. “否定词 + so + adj. /adv. + as ”结构从反面表示“最”,是一种强烈的肯定。例如:

没有比视而不见的人更瞎眼的了。

13. 有些带否定词的短语,在使用时并不构成否定意义,即表示肯定意义。例如:
