雙重否定的用法與說明

■正如漢語說的“沒有～不……”一樣，英語有時也可使用這樣“否定的否定”，即所謂的雙重否定。正如 (-1) × (-1) = (+1) 一樣，雙重否定的結果是肯定的。 如：

沒有人不同情那位意外的犧牲者。

There was no one who did not feel sympathy for the victims of the accident.

＝Everyone felt sympathy for the victims of the accident.

一個家庭在日常生活中使用一輛以上的車子并不特別稀奇。

It is not unusual for a family to have more than one car to use in daily life.  

＝It is usual for a family to have more than one car to use in daily life.  

沒有人沒東西吃的(from www.hz123456.com)。

Nobody had nothing to eat.

＝Everyone had something to eat.
