So I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do about that because I don’t like that. I’ve been concerned about, oh, how should we do with the Olympics? Because they are not being nice to Dalai Lama, who’s a good friend of mine. Sharon Stone: And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened and then I thought is that a karma, when you are not nice and then bad things happen to you? And then I got a letter from a Tibetan Foundation. They wanted to go and be helpful, and that made me cry. And they asked me if I would write a quote about that. I said I would. It was a big lesson to me that sometimes you have to learn to put your head down and be of service even to people who aren’t nice to you. And that’s a big lesson for me.”
“Karma” means:
灾难
因果报应
惩罚 ___ __ _____ “The earthquake in China was a Karma.”The earthquake in China was NOT a karma.XA negative statement is often used to correct a mistake.We usually use negative words to make negative statements. The most commonly used negative words include no, not, never and neither.
Yet, there are also statements that use negative words but express positive meanings.Let’s express our anger properly!莎朗的言论是不合适的。
Sharon’s words are not appropriate.
我认为她那么说是不明智的。
I don’t think she was wise to say so.1. auxiliary verb + notIn the simplest kind of negative statement, not or n’t comes after the auxiliary verb.地震不仅是中国的灾难也是全人类的。莎朗的表现表明她不仅缺少爱心而且缺少人性。
The earthquake is not only China's disaster, but also a disaster for all of mankind. Sharon Stone's performance shows that not only does she lack love, but she lacks humanity. Tip: A negative statement may sometimes have a positive meaning.她不可能对地震中大量的死亡数未有所闻。
She couldn’t have been uninformed of the huge number of deaths in the quake.2. not paired with other wordsWhen used before a word with a negative prefix (e.g. un-, dis-, or in-), the meaning becomes positive. But this type of phrase is not as strong as a direct positive statement.2. not paired with other wordsWhen used before a phrase of time, distance or a noun phrase including quantities, it serves to emphasize the negative meaning of the phrase.她是在地震发生不久后的电影节上说这番话的。
She expressed all this at the Film Festival not long after the earthquake.认为地震是报应,再愚蠢不过了。
One can’t be too silly to believe that the earthquake is a karma. When it is used in can’t … too or can’t … enough, the meaning of the sentence becomes positive.2. not paired with other words3. other negative expressions莎朗太冷漠,不配做亲善大使。
Sharon is too cold-blooded to be a Goodwill Ambassador.
对死难者如此不敬,Sharon Stone又 该最终得到什么样的报应呢?
Without being respectful to the dead, what kind of “karma” should Sharon Stone get eventually? 3. other negative expressions毋庸置疑,许多中国人将不再看她的电影或购买她代言的产品了。
No doubt a lot of Chinese will never/no longer see her films or buy products represented by her.
在很多人看来莎朗斯通是个十足的傻瓜。
Sharon Stone is nothing but/no more than an idiot to many people.4. partial negation 并非所有西方人都同意她的观点。
Not all westerners agree with her.
(Very few westerners agree with her.)
这一事件显示并非所有的外国人对中国都是友好的。
This event shows all the foreigners are not friendly to China.
