基礎(chǔ)語法:試談?dòng)⒄Z的否定轉(zhuǎn)移
在學(xué)英語的過程中,學(xué)生常將這樣的句子 "我認(rèn)為這不是個(gè)好主意." 譯為"I think it isn't a good idea." 而將這句英語譯成漢語時(shí),學(xué)生又會(huì)譯為 "我不認(rèn)為這是個(gè)好主意." 老師又會(huì)說譯錯(cuò)了,這不符合 "I don't think..." 句型,應(yīng)譯為 "l don't think it's a good idea."
那么,這錯(cuò)誤的根源究竟在哪里?這就是“英語的否定轉(zhuǎn)移”在作怪。否定轉(zhuǎn)移在非正式語體中特別常見,它是將語義上屬于從屬分句(一般為that clause)的否定詞轉(zhuǎn)移到母句中去。允許否定轉(zhuǎn)移的母句動(dòng)詞在語義上可分為以下兩組:
1.看法(OPINION):anticipate,be supposed to,believe,calculate, expect,figure (infml,AmE),imagine, reckon (infml,esp, in AmE),suppose,think:
Eg. I don't believe I've met you before.
("I believe I haven't met you before.")
Eg. She didn't imagine that we would say anything.
("She imagined we wouldn't say anything.")
Eg. He didn't expect to win.
("He expected not to win.")
2.感覺(PERCEPTION) appear,seem,feel as if,look as if,sound as if (后三個(gè)動(dòng)詞也作infml,esp, in AmE,其中用like來代替as if):
Eg. It doesn't seem that we canget our money back.
"It seems that we can't get our money back."
Eg. The baby doesn't appear to be awake.
("The baby appears not to be awake.")
Eg. It doesn't look like it's going to rain.
("It looks like it isn't going to rain.")
否定的轉(zhuǎn)移是一種含糊的現(xiàn)象。對(duì)于否定詞位置不同的兩個(gè)句子,意思是否相同,或者在多大程度上相同的問題,各人的直覺可能是不同的。但在
