表达否定还是肯定含义的判断

这句英语它是表达什么意思呢?肯定含义还是否定含义?

It is nothing a good drenching won’t fix.

逻辑上不理解了...它究竟是表达否定还是肯定含义?能够解决还是不能解决啊?

It is nothing a good drenching won’t fix.

首先这是一个强调句型。恢复普通陈述句为:

A good drenching won't fix nothing.

这是多重否定句(二个或二个以上的否定词重叠使用却表示否定意义)。为非标准英语。为了强调否定意义而重叠使用否定词。例如:

He didn't say anything. 标准英语

He didn't say nothing. (多重否定句。非标准英语,等于上句。)

所以,A good drenching won't fix nothing.

= A good drenching won't fix anything.

= A good drenching will fix nothing.

这个句子表示的是否定意义。

It is nothing a good drenching won’t fix.

= It is nothing a good drenching will fix.


如果句子为:

There is nothing a good drenching won’t fix.

= There is not anything a good drenching won’t fix.

此时,句子表示的是肯定意义。= A good drenching will fix anything/everything.

网友这句话,出自《小公主苏菲亚S04E02》 The Secret Library: Tale of the Eternal Torch(神秘图书馆;永恒火炬的故事)

这句话的语境是: 

"Ugh, what a blazing eyesore." The leader, Aqualina declared. "Well, it's nothing a good drenching won't fix" She crawled on land. "Get a wiggle on, girls." She told the others. "Keep up with me. I want to make a splashy entrance!"

 

【试分析】

    在it's nothing a good drenching won't fix中, it指上文a blazing eyesore,a good drenching won't fix是定语从句,修饰先行词nothing,  可看作省掉了关系代词that。

    

    为方便理解,可以把原句改写一下,it's not a thing that a good drenching won't fix.

    试译:火焰不是什么喷水搞不定的东西。

    另外,fix的意思是solve,《柯林斯高级词典》: If you fix a problem or a bad situation, you deal with it and make it satisfactory.
