对于There were two pictures on the wall. I didn't like ________ of them. 空白处填either或者both都可以,但是含义不同。例如:
I did't see either of your parents . 你的父亲和母亲我都没见到。(《外研社英汉多功能词典》第662页 ) I don't like both of them.并不是他们两个我都喜欢。(《薄冰英语惯用法词典》第128页)
黎老师,您的意思是说用either是全部否定,用both是部分否定?I don't like both of them.译成“ 并不是他们两个我都喜欢” 请教一下,此句是否有歧义,能否表示全部否定?那么这样一个句子: Both of them don't like the picture。是翻译成“他俩都不喜欢那幅画”还是“并不是他俩都喜欢那幅画”?我倾向于前者。请黎老师指教。
