部分否定和全部否定
在英语中all, both, every, everyone, everything, everybody,everywhere等与否定词not, no连用时,表示的是部分否定,而非全部否定。
①I don’t know all of them.
②I don’t like both of the books.
③Not every student goes to the farm on Sunday.
④Not everyone in our class likes football.
若要表示全部否定,则应用相应得表示部分否定的否定词。
all –none, both ---neither, every—no, everyone—noone(nobody), everything—nothing,everywhere—nowhere等。以上的四个例句要表示全部否定应分别为:
①I know none of them.
②I like neither of the books.
③No student goes to the farm on Sunday.
④No one/ Nobody in our class likes football.
小练:
①We haven’t enough books for _______; some of you will haveto share.
A.somebody B.anybodyC. everybodyD.nobody
② —Which of the twocomputer games did you prefer?
—Actually I didn’t like ______.
A. both of themB. either of them
C. none of them D.neither of them
本题考查代词的部分否定。Actually 相当于 in fact.此题考生易选择A项。A项的语意是“实际上我只是喜欢其中的一个”,表示部分否定,这样回答问题,是错误的。D项应改为:Actually I like neither ofthem.
