正确理解和区分部分否定和全部否定很重要，稍一疏忽，就会铸成译文上的大错。

I don't know everything about her.（并不全知道）
b.None of the answers are right.（都不正确）
All the answers are not right. （并非都正确）
c.I don't know any of them.（全不认识）
I don't know all of them.（并非都认识） 三、双重否定 意义肯定
双重否定指同一句子里出现两个否定词，即否定之否定，双重否定句表达的意思是肯定的，通常比肯定句的语气要重些，译成汉语就译成肯定形式，也可以保持双重否定的形式。

可用于表示双重否定的词有：
no…not、no (not)…without、no……but、cannot but+v、cannot help+v-ing、without doubt、without fail、cannot help + v、without exception、nothing less but、（正是） none but （除…外，…别无）、no one but （除了… 外，没有别人）、none too（一点也不）have no alternative/choice but to do （除……，别无选择）、There is no doubt that…、There is no denying that…、There is no question that……、not seldom、not infrequently、not unlike、not displeased 四、几乎否定
几乎否定表示整个句子的意思接近于否定，常用的词有：
little、few、barely、hardly、rarely、scarcely、seldom
