不能以貌取意的常见句型例析之二
老师都不抽烟。
7.The mountain is not valuable because it is high.
【误】山由于高而没有价值。
【正】山并不因为高而具有价值。(山不在高)
【析】含有原因状语从句的主从复合句,形式上虽然否定主句的谓语,然而意义上则是否定该原因状语,译为并不因为而。例如:
You cannot walk away just because someone tells you he doesn't want to buy.你不能仅仅因为他告诉你不买就走开。
Galileo was not ready to accept it just because Aristotle had said so.伽利略并不只是因为亚里斯多德说过某事如何如何,就轻易相信它。
8.I didn't pretend to understand what he said.
【误】我没有假装懂他说的话。
【正】我假装没懂他说的话。
【析】常用动词pretend,happen的否定形式有两种:既可以否定pretend,也可以否定其后的不定式,其意义不变。例如:
I didn't happen to be there.=I happened not to be there.我恰巧不在那儿。
They didn't pretend to see me when I went by.=They pretended not to see me when I wentby.当我经过的时候,他们假装没有看见我。
9?Let's have a rest under the big tree. It's a nice and cool here.
【误】让我们在大树下歇会吧。这儿又好又凉快。
【正】让我们在大树下歇会吧。这儿很凉快。
【析】nice and,good and都表示很,非常,完全的意思。and前的形容词实质上起副词作用,修饰后边的形容词,表示强调。例如:
I am good and ready.我都准备好了。
It is good and cold in the morning.早上非常冷。
