Clearly, only the biggest and most flexible television companies are going to be able to compete complete in such a rich and hotlycontested market.

It is not easy to talk about the role of the mass media in this overwhelmingly significant phase in European history. History and news become confused, and one’s impressions tend to be a mixture of skepticism and optimism. (46)Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed-and perhaps never before has it served as much to connect different peoples and nations as is the recent events in Europe. 电视是引发和传递这些感受的手段之一——在欧 洲近来发生的事件中，它把不同的民族和国家连 到一起，其作用之大，前所未有。

Some experts say that in any case, a reliable estimate of the human imprint’s magnitude on climate still remains some distance off. The human influence stems mostly from emissions of waste industrial gases like carbon dioxide, which trap heat in the atmosphere. Human factors appeared to be playing a part, but no judgment has been made on whether that part was big, small or in between.
否定句式的翻译
As evidence that the Earth’s atmosphere is warming continues to accumulate, /scientists are making slow progress toward an answer to the big question raised by the evidence:/ how much of the warming is due to human activity and how much to natural causes?

13.否定句的汉译英
9、他来这儿不是为了求得我们的帮助。 误：He came here not to ask us for help. 正：He did not come here to ask us for help. 否定状语时，英语中的否定词一般不直接置于被否 定词语前，通常置于谓语动词前。只有当两个部分 加以对比时，即“不是……而是”时，否定词才可 直接置于状语前。如：他来这儿不是为了求得我们 的帮助，而是来给我们提供一些信息。He came here not to ask us for help, but to give us some information. 即使在这一结构中，英语还是常把否 定词置于谓语动词前。

否定句的翻译
二. 部分否定
英语中all、every(及其派生词),both以及 always, quite, often, altogether, entirely, wholly都含有“全体”的意义, 如用一般否定 词not对它们进行否定, 所得的结果不是全部被 否定, 而是部分否定。这时, not可以放在被否 定的词的前面, 也可以放在谓语部分里。
He never refused to help. 他总是有求必应(这里refuse“拒绝”之意, 本身有 否定意义, 相当于否定词)。 We can’t not go. 我们不能不去。 But for your help, they should not have finished in time. 要不是你们的帮助，他们是不会按时完成任务的。
4.3. 否定谓语转译成否定主语（通常指英语中含有部分否定的句子） Every man cannot be a writer. 不是所有人都能成为作家。
4.4. 否定谓语转译成否定状语 I didn't do it for myself. 我这样做可不是为了自己
4.5. 否定主语谓语转译成否定宾语从句的谓语 一些动词如think，believe，suppose, anticipate, guess, imagine, reckon, fancy 表达意念或判断等 情态意义，这些词后面的宾语从句若有否定义， 否定成分往往转移到表达情态的动词上。所以， 在译成汉语时，可以将否定成分转回到与宾语 从句对应的表达里。 I don't suppose they will object to my suggestion. 我想他们不会反对我的建议。 I don't anticipate that he would come to the meeting.估计他不会来开会。

否定句的翻译1.有些句子在形式上是否定句，但实际上是肯定的意思。
The importance of the the project can hardly be ecaggerated.译：这项工程的重要性怎么夸大也不过分。

In a thermal power plant, all the chemical energy of the coal is not converted into electric power.译：在热电站中，煤中的化学能并不全都能转化为电能。

否定句型翻译
1．no better than：表示“和……一样；实际等于……”，如：1) He is no better than a beggar. 他实际上等于一个乞丐。
no less … than等七种否定句型翻译英语中的否定结构是翻译中的一个常见而以比较复杂质问题。
由于英汉两种语言在表达方法上存在很大差异，尤其在表达否定概念上，英语在用词、语法和逻辑等方面与汉语都有很大不同。
有些英语否定句译成汉语后却变成了肯定形式，而另一些肯定句型译成汉语后又往往变成否定形式。
在阅读理解及其翻译过程中，这些否定句就象陷阱一样，稍有不慎，就会掉入其中。
有时仅在否定、肯定之间稍有不慎就会“失之毫厘，谬之千里”，因此在阅读理解及其翻译一些否定结构时，切不可望文生义，而必须细心揣摩，真正透彻理解其意义。
只有正确地理解英语中的各种否定句型，才能在阅读是正确理解文章传达的意思，才能在翻译中译文准确、恰当地表达出原文的含义。

下面介绍几种常见的表达方式：1．no better than：表示“和……一样；实际等于……”，如：1) He is no better than a beggar. 他实际上等于一个乞丐。
2) The patient is no better than he was yesterday. 病人的情况和昨天一样。
3) He has no better a say in the matter than I have.他和我一样在这件事上没有发言权。
2．not. . . any more than或no more. . . than：表示“同……一样不”，如：1) I could no more do that than you. I could not do that any more than you. 你不能做这件事，我也不能做。
