英语翻译
Not until his father was out of prison could John go to school.
Not until his father was out of prison could not John go to school.
第二句加了not反而让逻辑不通,这个地方的not until值习惯连用结构,表强调,“直到.才.”由于否定放在句首,所以后面倒装.
前一句意思是:直到他的父亲出狱,约翰才能上学.
第二句意思是:直到他的父亲出狱,约翰才不能能上学.逻辑上说不通,父亲出狱了,约翰反而不能上学了?这个地方的否定not本来就应该提前,不然双重否定就等于肯定意思恰恰反了.
此处是一个强调结构,原本的正常句式是:
john could not go to school until his father was out of prison.
再问: john could not go to school until his father was out of prison.这句话是什么意思?
再答: 直到他的父亲出狱,约翰才能上学。 你说个的第一句就是这句话的强调式。意思一样,汉语翻译也可以一样。
