復雜的否定句的拆分和理解 例181

例181　Certainly I don't teach because teaching is easy for me. Nor do I teach because I think I know answers, or because I have knowledge I feel compelled to share.

【結構分析】這句話含有表示否定轉移的精彩用法，也就是not...because...，否定的后面是because，比如I don't marry you because you are rich，翻譯成“我嫁給你不是因為你有錢”。第一句話主干是I don't teach because teaching is easy for me，第二句話也是否定轉移，使用nor來引導，而且是個倒裝并列句，也就是Nor do I teach because I think I know answers, or because I have knowledge I feel compelled to share。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于否定轉移和倒裝結合，很經(jīng)典，否定轉移是個重要的語言現(xiàn)象。

【核心詞匯】

teaching　教書

know answers　知曉答案

compelled　被迫

【參考譯文】當然，我教書不是因為教書對我很簡單。同樣，我教書也不是因為我想知道答案或者我有知識被迫去分享。
