分句替代词的用法
A: Are
the girls coming to the party? 女孩们来参加聚会吗?
B: l'm
sure they are/ I'm sure of it. 肯定会。
I doubt if they
are / I doubt it.
无法肯定。
在上述答语中,不可以说 * I'm sure so/ not.
* I
doubt so / not 基于相同的理由,通常也不说 * I
know so/ not。
分句替代词 so 还可以和某些表示说话的动词连用,而 not 通常不这样用。例如:
A: The Yankees (美国人) will win the
game. 美国人将赢得这场比赛。
B: All my
friends say so. 所有我的朋友都说是这样的。
A: How
do you know that he's leaving soon? 你怎么知道他会走得很快?
B: He told me so. 他告诉过我。
A: Your father
and mine we great
friends when they were young. 你父亲和我父亲是朋友时都年轻。
B: I have
been told so.
听说是这样。
在上述诸例中,通常不用 not
与 say, tell 等动词搭配,除非主语是作类指的人称代词。例如:
A: Are the Yankees a very strong
team? 洋基人是支强队吗?
B: No, they say not.
并非如此,他们说不行。
分句替代词 not 可与 perhaps, possibly, probably, certainly, sure 等表示情态意义的副词搭配,构成某些缩略句。例如:
A: Is your
brother going with you? 你哥哥会和你一起去吗?
B: Perhaps
not. (= Perhaps he
is not going with me.) 可能不会。
A: Will Mary
come to the party tomorrow?玛丽来参加的聚会是明天吗?
B: Possibly
not. (= It is possible
that she won't come.) 可能不是。
A: Will you waste
your time
and money on that? 你会把时间和金钱浪费在这上面吗?
B: Certainly
not. (= Certainly I will not
do it.) 当然不会。
A: Does she
really know
him? 她真的认识他吗?
B: Surely
not. (= Surely
she does not know him.) 当然不。
在上述结构中,通常不用 so。 此外, not 还可与 why 搭配,构成缩略疑问句 Wh not
。 例如:
A: I
didn't stop him. 我没阻止他。
B: Why not? (= Why
didn't you
stop him?)为什么不?
在上述结构中,用 so 则比较少见。
