　　一个问题有时可以从不同的角度来解释说明。有些句子英语是从正面说的，汉语可以从反面来解释。
　　1)否定译成肯定。
　　Eg:
　　I never passed the theatre but I thought of his last performance.每一次经过那家剧院，我都会想起他的最后一次演出。
　　Eg:
　　Hardly a month goes by without word of another survey revealing new depths of scientific illiteracy among U.S. citizens.美国公民科盲日益严重，这种调查报告几乎月月都有。(双重否定)
　　2)肯定译成否定。
　　Eg:
　　Everyone has the right to be free from hunger.人人有不挨饿的权利。
　　Eg:
　　This will be particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult to continue agriculture in the high-energy American fashion that makes it possible to combine few farmers with high yields.这种困境将是确定无疑的，[来源：考研加油绽]因为能源的匮乏使农业无法以高能量消耗、投入少数农民就可能获得高产的美国耕种方式继续下去了。
　　Eg:
　　The target is wrong, for in attacking the tests, critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users.把标准化测试作为抨击目标是错误的，因为在抨击这类测试时，批评者不考虑其弊病来自人们对测试不甚了解或使用不当。
　　几种特殊否定句式的翻译法
　　“no more…than翻译成汉语“和……一样不”
　　Eg:
　　The heart is no more intelligent than the stomach, for they are both controlled by the brain.脏和胃一样不能思维，都受大脑支配。

　　“not so much …as”翻译成“与其说……，不如说……”
　　Eg:
　　It was not so much the many blows he received as the lack of fighting spirit that led to his losing the game.与其说他输了比赛是多次被击中，不如说是自己缺乏斗志。
　　Eg:

　　He is the last person I want to see in the world.他是这个世界上我最不愿意见到的人。
