　　英语中的部分否定以及相应的完全否定：

　　① all 的否定式：not all…(或：all…not)表示"并非都……"、"不是所有的……都……"例如：

　　② both 的否定式：not…both (或：both… not) "并非两个……都……" 例如：

　　I don't want both the books. 我不是两本书都要(言外之意：我只要其中一本)。相应的完全否定：I want neither of the two books.

　　Both (the) windows are not open. 两扇窗子并不都开着(言外之意：只有一个窗子是开着的)。 相应的完全否定： Neither of the windows is open.

　　③ every…的否定式："不是每……都……" 例如：

　　Not every book is educative. (=Every book is not educative.) 不是每本书都有教育意义。 相应的完全否定：No book is educative.

　　Not everyone likes this book. (=Everyone does not like this book.)并非人人都喜欢这本书。 相应的完全否定：Nobody likes this book

　　④ always的否定式："并非总是(并非一直)……" 例如：

　　⑤ entirely, altogether, completely 和quite 的否定式："不完全……"，"并非完全……" 例如：

　　⑥ all the time 的否定式："并非一直……"、"未必老是……" 例如：

　　He did not speak clearly and correctly. 他讲得清楚但不正确。

　　This film is not interesting and instructive. 这部电影有趣但无教育意义。

　　She cannot sing and dance. 她会唱歌但不会跳舞。

　　如果将and 换成or，则not 对其前后两部分就全盘否定了。

　　He did not speak clearly or correctly. 他讲的既不清楚也不正确。

　　如要对上述的all, both, every, always, 以及entirely, altogether, completely, quite 和 all the time 等词作完全否定，那就分别要用与之相对应的完全否定词，如no, none, neither, no one, never, not (never)… at all 等。例如：

　　All of them can do it.--- None of them can do it.

　　Both are good.---Neither is good.

　　Everybody likes it. ---Nobody likes it.

　　He is always late. --- He is never late.

　　We don't trust them entirely. --- We never trust them at all.

　　He was here all the time. --- He was never here.
