英语中经常有些结构相似或单词相似的句子,但是其语意往往相差甚远。下面列出的各组句子,看似“相似”,但是如果疏于细察,很可能会误认为相同。1．A:You should not study too hard．B:You cann’t study too hard．[译)A:你不应该太用功。B:你再怎样用功也不为过。[注]A句的“should not”是否定“study toohard”的意思“太用功不好”。B句中的“cann’t”虽也否定“study to hard”,但意思是“不可能会用功过度”,因此两者意思不同。2．A:I give him another novel．B:I give him the other novel．[译]A:我另给他一本小说。B:我给他另一本小说。[注]A句中another可以译为“又一个”,但

[Note] Another sentence in the A sentence can be translated as “another one,” but
