【知识梳理1】Didn’t you hear the rain (P92)
你没听见下雨吗?
该句为否定疑问句。对否定疑问句的回答,要根据实际情况来回答。
—Isn't this easy 这不是很容易吗?
—Yes,it is.不,它容易。
—No,it isn't.是的,它不容易。
其中的“Yes,it is.”实为“Yes,it is easy.”的省略形式;而“No,it isn't.”则为“No,it isn't easy.”的省略形式,所以其中的“Yes”和“No”与汉语的翻译不一致。但我们不说“No,it is.”或“Yes,it isn't.”,因为不符合英语中的表达习惯。在英语中Yes后习惯上要用肯定式,而No的后面则习惯上要跟否定式。
