标题Re: [文法] 用not...but...连接句子的问题
时间Thu Jul 6 11:43:33 2017
※ 引述《prompter (Qu)》之铭言：
: 如果要求用not...but...合并这两句:
: His satisfaction does not lie in his title.
: His satisfaction lies in his daily work.
: 我一开始是写His satisfaction does not lie in his title but in his daily work.
: 但答案是
: → His satisfaction lies not in his title but in his daily work.
: 想问为何
我第一时间答案也是跟你一样，
可能是受到例句的暗示，
很自然想在重复第一句後再接上 but...
但仔细想想：
: 1.does not一定要整个去除吗?
如果不去除，也许该写成下面这样？
His satisfaction
does not lie in his title,
but lies in his daily work.
: 2.not不可以放lie前面?
并非不可以，但因为句子对称结构的关系 (but 是对等连接词)，
若 not 在 lie 之前，则 but 後也要接个 lie。
而若把 not 放到 lie 之後，则变成动词 lie 共用，
於是 not 和 but 之後都接 in...：
His satisfaction
lies not in his title but in his daily work.
顺带一提，有一句名言也是相同句型：
The greatest glory in living
lies not in never falling,
but in rising every time we fall.
: 3.这句的中文意思还是不太了解
试翻如下：
他的满足不在於他的头衔，而是在於他每天所做的事。
