109 not all,not any,not both,not either

相似英语词汇辨析109:not all,not any,not both,not either

这四个片语在涵义上各不相同。

not all的意思是“非全体”,相当于only some;not any的意思是“全不”,相当于none;not both作“仅一个”解,相当于only one;not either作“两个都个”解,相当于neither.

请对比下列各句:
i do not know all of them.
我仅认识他们之中的几个人(或一部分人)。
i do not know any of them.
这些人我一个都不认识。
i do not know both of them.
在这两个人中,我只认识一个。
i do not know either of them.
这两个人我一个也不认识。
上面四个句子亦可改写为:
i know some of them.
i know none of them.
i know only one of them.
i know neither of them.
值得注意的是,not all指“并不是所有的…都…”,not both指“并不是两个…都…”。在英语中,它们称为“部分否定”(partial negation)。另有一些英语副词和not 搭配使用时,也是表示类似的涵义。例:
not always=sometimes
not everywhere = somewhere
not entirely=somewhat
not wholly=in some degree/to some extent
