雙重否定英文文法

no/not/never…without + N/V-ing(每……必……/無……不……):雙重否定是強調肯定句的美化句型。without + N表「狀態」;without + V-ing則強調「動作」。

  • I couldn’t live till today without my grandmother.(沒有我祖母我無法活到今天)
  • One can’t succeed without perseverance.(人無毅力不能成事。)
  • Tony never writes an English composition without making many mistakes.(東尼每次寫英文作文必定犯許多錯。)
  • I couldn’t live without you.(沒有你我不能活。)

雙重否定句型亦可用關係子句的形式,應注意先行詞的單複數要與關係子句中動詞的單複數配合。

There is no … but V

but為否定關係代名詞,故接肯定動詞;who為肯定關係代名詞,故接否定動詞。

• There is no mother but loves her children.

→ There is no mother who doesn’t love her children.

【who代替mother故搭配loves,又皆否定於是doesn’t love】

→ There is no mother doesn’t love her children. (×)【常犯錯誤】

(天下無不愛子女的母親。)

• There is no one but has his weak side.

→ There is no one without his weak side.

→ There is no one hasn’t his weak side.(×)【常犯錯誤】

(沒有人沒有缺點/人人都有缺點。)

but之後保留主詞為舊式寫法。

• It never rains but it pours.(複句)

→ It never rains without pouring.(單句)

(禍不單行/不雨則已,雨必滂沱。)

• I never spend a day but I miss you.

→ I never spend a day without missing you.

(我沒有一天不想你。)

There is no N. but V. 沒有不

• There is no pleasure without pain.

→ No pleasure without pain.(省略There is)(有樂必有苦。)

• There is no gain without pain.

→ No gain without pain.(省略There is)

→ No pain, no gain.(不勞則無穫。)
