2018年PETS三级听力心得技巧：赞成与否定题

　　赞成与否定题

　　1)一人用肯定的方式表达，则另一人表示赞同 yes, sure, of course, That's a good idea., out of question, no problem, by all means

　　2)表示不赞同、不完全赞同或反对 no, not really, not likely, sorry, I'm not sure., please don't, I am afraid not, not at all, no way, out of the question

　　3)一人用否定表述，则另一人若表示赞同 no, of course not, you don't 表示反对 yes, of course, you do

　　一些短语、句型等可以含蓄地表达否定的意义

　　never, scarcely, seldom, scarcely seldom, rarely, hardly, barely, unable, impossible, incapable, unnecessary, unbelievable, little, ill-minded, no one, nobody, none, nothing, neither, nor, dislike, ignore, fail, refuse, hate, stop ... from, miss, overlook, keep ... from, far from, anything but, without, instead of, out of, short of, too ... to ..., rather than, prefer ... to, beyond

　　提请考生注意： 1)双重否定表示肯定意义 not impossible, not untrue, can't agree more, not unusual, not single ... absent, no one ... not

　　2)当all, every, many, always等与not同时出现在一句话中时，构成部分否定(或部 分肯定)，意思是“并非全都，不是每个”等。

　　3)虚拟语气表述的内容在事实上是不存在的(即对所表述的内容是否定的)。 值得注意的是，有时否定并不靠词或短语表达，而是通过语气。比如反意疑问句也是否定的表达方式，另外，but引导的句子实际上就暗含了对前面的否定。
