復(fù)雜的否定句的拆分和理解 例181

例181　Certainly I don't teach because teaching is easy for me. Nor do I teach because I think I know answers, or because I have knowledge I feel compelled to share.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話含有表示否定轉(zhuǎn)移的精彩用法，也就是not...because...，否定的后面是because，比如I don't marry you because you are rich，翻譯成“我嫁給你不是因?yàn)槟阌绣X”。第一句話主干是I don't teach because teaching is easy for me，第二句話也是否定轉(zhuǎn)移，使用nor來引導(dǎo)，而且是個(gè)倒裝并列句，也就是Nor do I teach because I think I know answers, or because I have knowledge I feel compelled to share。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于否定轉(zhuǎn)移和倒裝結(jié)合，很經(jīng)典，否定轉(zhuǎn)移是個(gè)重要的語言現(xiàn)象。
