I wouldn’t trust you as far as I could throw you.的理解问题

2 I wouldn’t trust you as far as I could throw you.的理解问题

I wouldn’t trust you as far as I could throw you.

想请教老师为什么这句话理解是“我压根不信你”，我的理解是我不信你的程度=我可以扔你的程度（几乎为0），那不就是说我很相信你的意思吗？为啥意思完全相反了呢？我看一个文章分析的时候分析的是“我的信任远不及内个几乎为0的距离”，这就是刘老师说的否定转移吗？I would trust you not as far as I could throw you. 可是这里为什么要否定转移呢？

其实这个理解不是很复杂，我给你换个你更熟悉而且肯定能理解的句子：I don't work as hard as he does. 否定的含义应该在hard 上，大致相当于I don't work harder than he does. （否定在harder 上）。道理是一样的，你问题中的这个句子（英语idiom) I wouldn’t trust you as far as I could throw you. 它的否定含义应该在far上，即：我对你的信任还没有我扔掉你的距离那么长，所以此句也可以说：I wouldn't trust you farther than I could throw you. 还有一种类似的说法是：I trust you about as far as I could throw you. ( 注意此句的句式不能用否定了，但意思和前两个句子相同，直译的意思是我相信你的程度和我扔掉你的距离差不多。即实际上我无法把你扔多远，因此它的意思是我怀疑你，不信任你。
