什么时候用not，什么时候用no？
本帖最后由 荣晓荣晓 于 2021-10-31 13:56 编辑经常说
no是形容词，后面不能接冠词(a, the...)
not是副词，后面有冠词
那为什么朗文的这个例句用了not而不是no呢？
It was not hyperbole to call it the worst storm in twenty years
no 否定名词，not 否定动词 本帖最后由 荣晓荣晓 于 2021-10-31 18:12 编辑

no 否定名词，not 否定动词
所以这个例句中应该用no还是not
再比如 There is no one in the room. 还是 There is not one in the room. 荣晓荣晓 发表于 2021-10-31 18:05

主楼例句用 not
There is no one in the room. 对
以下摘自 Practical English Usage：
We can use no with a noun or -ing form to mean ‘not any', or 'not a/an’.
No teachers went on strike. (= There weren’t any teachers on strike.)
I’ve got no Thursdays free this term. (= I haven't got any Thursdays . . .)
I telephoned, but there was no answer. (= There wasn’t an answer.)
NO SMOKING
Sometimes sentences constructed with verb + not and no + noun have similar
meanings. The structure with no is usually more emphatic.
There wasn't an answer. / There was no answer. 大橙子 发表于 2021-10-31 20:39
主楼例句用 not
There is no one in the room. 对
注意到Practical English Usage中的例句都只涉及可数名词，所以才有了not an answer, no answer的结构可以套用。
而朗文例句中的hyperbole 是不可数名词，无法套用了，

嗯，你看得很仔细，它这里确实没给不可数名词的例句
书中另一处给了不可数名词的例句，并且再次说了下两者的区别，用 no 属于更强调的语气
No can be used instead of not a or not any when we want to emphasise a
negative idea.
Would you believe it? There’s no mirror in the bathroom! (More emphatic than
. . . There isn’t a mirror . . .)
Sorry I can’t stop. I ’ve got no time. (More emphatic than . . . I haven't got any
time.)
There were no messages for you this morning, I'm afraid. (More emphatic than
There weren't any messages . . .)
We prefer not a/any in objects and complements when the sense is not
emphatic. Compare:
He’s no fool. (= He's not a fool at all. - emphatic negative)
A whale is not a fish, (n o t A whale is no fish - the sense is not emphatic.)

所以no 和 not a/any 之间进行互换
那我怎么觉得朗文的例句用no也行啊。hyperbole不可数，他也没有加any，却只有一个not。 荣晓荣晓 发表于 2021-11-1 10:25

用 no 也不算错的，只是意思不同，变得更强调，词典例句是正常语气说话，用不着这么强调
如果是在跟人争论，对方非说这是 hyperbole，你说这根本不是 hyperbole，就可以用 no 因为这里不是在讲数量，而是单纯的否定。
做个简单对比：
It was to meet you.否定：It was not ...
It is to call it... 否定：It is not ...
如果真的要用 no hyperbole，可以说 there is no hyperbole in calling it... 注意这里用了there is 冠词分为定冠词、不定冠词和零冠词，这里就是”零冠词+不可数名词“（not + 零冠词 + hyperbole） 渔夫和妖怪 发表于 2021-11-7 12:57

那为什么不能用no呢， He is not a fool.他不傻。
He is no fool.他才不傻。（他精着呢。）
