31) no two 與not
two 之辦別:
No two locations are exactly the same. (沒有兩個地點完全一樣)。
1. not
adv. 不可加在數目詞之前; no adj. = not any ; 則可加在數目詞前:*
No two people think alike (沒有兩人想法相同)---
喻「 同床異夢」
2. no, 用在答句句首,
當作副詞用:
“Did you not respond to her e-mail to you?” 你沒有回復她給你的電子郵件?
“Yes, I did.” 我回了。 “No,
I didn’t.” 不,我沒回。
*不論問句是肯定或否定,答Yes, 表示肯定;答No, 表示否定, 此點 和一般
中文觀念不同。
另例:
“Is there no earlier bus for Phoenix?” 到鳳凰城沒有更早的車嗎?
“No, this is
the earliest.” “ 沒有,這班是最早的”
注意:因本句主詞改為this, 故用肯定。 其實, 若將上列答句看作如下句, 則意思就很清楚:
“No, (there is no
earlier bus. But) this is the earliest.”
