  • 你的建议不完全可行.

    比较同意二楼的观点,你想的太多了,其实字面翻译就得了.

    关于你提到的部分否定,我查了一下:

    英语中的部分否定(即不完全否定)有如下一些表示方法:

    一、 all 的否定式:not all…(或:all…not)表示"并非都……"、"不是所有的都……"例如:

    Not all men can be masters.(= All men cannot be masters.) 并非人人都能当头头.

    Not all bamboo grows tall.并非所有的竹子都会长很高.

    二、 both 的否定式:not…both (或:both… not) "并非两个……都……" 例如:

    I don't want both the books.我不是两本书都要.

    Both (the) windows are not open.两扇窗子并不都开着.

    三、 every…的否定式:"不是每……都……" 例如:

    Not every book is educative.(或:Every book is not educative.) 不是每本书都有教育意义的.

    Not everyone likes this book.并非人人都喜欢这本书.

    This flower is not seen everywhere.这花并不是随处可见的.

    四、 always的否定式:"并非总是(并非一直)……" 例如:

    He is not always so sad.他并不是一直都这样悲伤.

    五、 entirely,altogether,completely 和quite 的否定式:"不完全……","并非完全……" 例如:

    The businessman is never to be entirely trusted.不可以完全信任商人.

    He felt not altogether satisfied.他并不完全满意.

    I don't agree completely.我并不完全同意.

    What he did was not quite proper.他做的不十分妥当.

    六、 all the time 的否定式:"并非一直……"、"未必老是……" 例如:

    A foolish man doesn't make a mistake all the time.笨人未必老是犯错误.

    七、 not…and…的否定式,被否定的往往是and后面的那一部分.例如:

    He did not speak clearly and correctly.他讲得清楚但不正确.

    This film is not interesting and instructive.这部电影有趣但无教育意义.

    She cannot sing and dance.她会唱歌但不会跳舞.

    如果将and 换成or,not 对其后面的两部分就全盘否定了.

    He did not speak clearly or correctly.他讲的既不清楚也不正确.

    如要对上述的all,both,every,always,以及entirely,altogether,completely,quite 和 all the time 等词作完全否定,那就分别要用与之相对应的全否定词,如no,none,neither,no one,never,not (never)… at all 等.例如:

    All of them can do it.--- None of them can do it.

    Both are good.---Neither is good.

    Everybody likes it.---Nobody likes it.

    He is always late.--- He is never late.

    We don't trust them entirely.--- We never trust them at all.

    He was here all the time.--- He was never here.
