作为一般疑问句否定回答的首选,“No”在我们生活中无处不在。但是每次回答都用“No”未免有些无趣,让我们来看看还有哪些词也能表达否定的意思吧。 1. nix: 不可以 e.g. I ?suppose ?mom will say nix to us going to the ?movies. 我猜妈妈不会同意咱们去看电影。 2. uh-uh: 嗯,哼,表示否定回答的象声词(反义词是uh-huh,表肯定的象声词) e.g. "You didn't have time to go to the store?" "Uh-uh, no chance." “你没有时间去商店买东西吗?” "Uh-uh, no chance." “嗯,没有。” 3. nope: 不 e.g. "Are you going out tonight?" “今晚你要出去吗?” "Nope." “不出去。” 4. no way: 绝不 e.g. "Go on, lend me your bike." “自行车借我吧,行不行啊。” "No way!" “绝不!” 5. negative: 不行,反对 e.g. We ?received a negative ?answer to ?our ?request. 我们的请求得到了否定的回答。 6. not on your Nelly: 绝不可能 e.g. "Perhaps you could take Simon to the party." “也许你可以带西蒙去参加聚会。” "Not on your nelly!" “没门儿!” 7. fat chance: 不大可能,希望渺茫 e.g. "Perhaps they'll invite you." “也许他们会邀请你。” "Fat chance (of that)!" “不太可能!” 8. no fear: 当然不 e.g. "Are you coming to the concert?" “你会来听音乐会吗?” "No fear!" “当然不!” |
