標題Re: [文法] 用not...but...連接句子的問題

※ 引述《prompter (Qu)》之銘言：
: 如果要求用not...but...合併這兩句:
: His satisfaction does not lie in his title.
: His satisfaction lies in his daily work.
: 我一開始是寫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.
: 想問為何
我第一時間答案也是跟你一樣，
可能是受到例句的暗示，
很自然想在重複第一句後再接上 but...
但仔細想想：
: 1.does not一定要整個去除嗎?
如果不去除，也許該寫成下面這樣？
His satisfaction
does not lie in his title,
but lies in his daily work.
: 2.not不可以放lie前面?
並非不可以，但因為句子對稱結構的關係 (but 是對等連接詞)，
若 not 在 lie 之前，則 but 後也要接個 lie。
而若把 not 放到 lie 之後，則變成動詞 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.
順帶一提，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.這句的中文意思還是不太了解
試翻如下：
他的滿足不在於他的頭銜，而是在於他每天所做的事。
