In this sentence, the mistaken idea that money buys happiness is corrected. We have different ways to make negative statements. The most commonly used negative words are no, not, never and neither. 1. auxiliary verb + not In the simplest kind of negative statement, not or nt comes after the auxiliary verb. e.g. They might not (mightnt) have been written last year. I do not (dont) think so. 2. not paired with other words When used before a word with a negative prefix (e.g., un-, dis-, or in-), the meaning becomes positive. This type of phrase is not as strong as a direct positive statement. It is not uncommon to find her reading the newspaper. (It is quite common to find her reading the newspaper.) When used before a phrase of time, distance or a noun phrase including quantities, it serves to emphasize the negative meaning of the phrase. Not many people heard the speech. (Very few people heard the speech.) 3. extra negative in if-clauses Sometimes we use negative expressions with the words whether and if to show our doubt about a situation. These are more casual and are usually used in spoken English. I wonder whether/if I shouldnt bring an umbrella. (I wonder whether/if I should bring an umbrella.) I wouldnt be surprised if they didnt move soon. ( I wouldnt be surprised if they moved soon.) 4. There are many other negative expressions. Some common ones are hardly, far from, seldom, unless, free from, and would rather than. Pip can hardly wait to begin his new life. The classics are far from disappearing. Pips sister seldom has a kind word to say. Unless you read the novel yourself, you will never know what happens at the end. The fortune sets him free from financial worries. Joe would rather die than see any harm come to Pip. 【典型例题】 1. His mother had talked to him for many minutes while he was watching TV, but .
