暗含否定句的翻譯（2）

II.疑問(wèn)句在特定的環(huán)境和語(yǔ)調(diào)下，問(wèn)句具有與其形式相反的含義，即肯定中暗含否定含義。所以翻譯時(shí)一定要考慮語(yǔ)境和語(yǔ)調(diào)，表達(dá)出英語(yǔ)的否定意義。

如：What is the use of it?這有什么用?(這沒(méi)有一點(diǎn)用)

Who knows?誰(shuí)知道呢?(沒(méi)人知道)

Is the man of fool?難道這人是傻瓜嗎?(他根本不傻)

Am I your slave? 我是你的奴才嗎?(我不是奴才，別使喚我)

III.比較級(jí)-er+than…和more +原級(jí)+than…將不同性質(zhì)的形容詞或副詞加以比較時(shí)，有"不如……""毋寧……"的否定意義。

He is braver than wise.他有勇無(wú)謀。

He is more dead than alive.與其說(shuō)他活著，不如說(shuō)他死了。

She certainly knows better than to tackle such a problem by herself.

她很明白不能獨(dú)自去解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題。

He is wiser than to risk his money in that undertaking.

他不會(huì)蠢到投資那項(xiàng)事業(yè)的地步。

He is more of a politician than a scholar. 與其說(shuō)他是個(gè)學(xué)者，不如說(shuō)他是個(gè)政客。

You'd better go home than stay here.你呆在這里還不如回家去呢。
