双重否定句在一个句子中同时使用两个否定词,常见于口语,但在正式书面语言中应避免使用,以免误导读者。例如:“我没有什么东西”,“我找不到我的任何一本书”,“我从来没有去过纽约市”等。
- I can't find none of my books.(我找不到我的任何一本书。)
- I don't want none of that.(我不要那个。)
- I ain't got no money.(我没有钱。)
- They don't have no idea what they're doing.(他们不知道他们在做什么。)
- I ain't seen nothing like that before.(我从来没见过那样的事情。)
- He didn't do nothing wrong.(他没有做错任何事情。)
- Ain't nobody got time for that.(没人有时间做那个。)
- I can't hardly understand what you're saying.(我几乎听不懂你在说什么。)
- I ain't never been to New York City.(我从来没有去过纽约市。)
- I don't want nobody to know about this.(我不想让任何人知道这件事。)
