(六)肯定与否定题
听力测试题有很多对话常通过某种否定形式来表示肯定含义,或是利用肯定形式表示否定意义。其目的是考查学生的快速反应能力和基础知识掌握的程度。
1 、常见的以否定形式表示肯定意义的结构有:
cannot wait+不定式或can hardly wait+不定式(急于,迫切希望
cannot与much(或too , enough , sufficiently , over ,构成的合成词)
连用(无论怎么也不为过);cannot help doing (禁不住做cannotbut do(不得不,必然);cannot help but do(不得不);have no choice/alternative but to do (除做外别无选择,非做不可);nothing but(只有,只不过);另外,还可以通过各种比较结构来表示肯定含义,最常用的有:nothingless than (和一模一样,完全是);more A than B (与其说是B ,不如说是A 或是A 而不是B );less A than B (与其说是A ,不如说是B 或是B 而不是A );not so much A as B(是B 而不是A );A not soas B(A 比B ),表达的正好是原结构中形容词或副词的反义。
2 、常见的以肯定表示否定的意义的有:
anything but(根本不);used to (过去常常,是对现在的情况的否定,说明现在已不这样做);too to(太以致不,这一结构的不定式表示否定意义);preferto(该短语否定的是介词短语部分,表示不喜欢或不做would ratherthan(宁愿而不,这一结构否定的是than后的动词,would rather than 与其用法相同。)
