非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的否定式

　　非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的否定式通常是就在非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞之前加 not 或 never。如:

　　Try not to make a noise. 盡量別弄出聲來(lái)。

　　Not having finished his work, he could not leave the office. 由于工作沒(méi)干完他不能離開(kāi)辦公室。

　　Not having met him, I cannot tell you what he is like. 我沒(méi)有見(jiàn)過(guò)他，所以說(shuō)不出他的模樣。

　　Not having received his letter, she decided to write to him again. 她沒(méi)收到他的們，就決定再給他寫一封。

　　二、注意之點(diǎn)

　　當(dāng)前面有邏輯主語(yǔ)時(shí)，要放在邏輯主語(yǔ)與非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞之間。如：

　　I’m surprised at your not having noticed. 我對(duì)你沒(méi)有注意到感到驚奇。
