Without 文法

Question

You shouldn't go outside without an umbrella.
中文翻譯 為" 你出門應該帶傘"
shouldn't 中文為 "不應該" & without 表示 "沒有 , 無"的意思嗎??
但翻譯中為何這樣翻??

Answer 1

You shouldn't go outside without an umbrella.
=不帶雨傘，你就不該外出。
句尾的資訊最重要。

without an umbrella是用來修飾述部shouldn't go outside的（給予條件）
所以位階比只修飾shouldn't go的outside高，所以不能用代表對等的符號&來連結

You shouldn't go outside without (taking) an umbrella.
是有條件的禁止外出

所以譯成:你應該帶傘出門
或:你沒帶傘就不該出門

兩者都是事先的訓示
所以用助動詞should
在強烈表示這是我的主張

Answer 2

是雙重否定的原因!!! 你也可以想成是"負負得正" ><

Answer 3

Louis大師：「You shouldn't go outside without an umbrella.
=不帶雨傘，你就不該外出。
句尾的資訊最重要。」
若說「句尾的資訊最重要」指的是英文的句尾，則如我的理解：
你不該「外出不帶雨傘」。或
你不該不帶雨傘(就)外出。
重點是「帶不帶雨傘」，而不是「該不該外出」。

原PO與我所用的符號&只在於說明(1). shouldn't (2). Without兩字的意思，不在於比較其位階，所以是對等用法。(雖然這不是重點)

prisoner26535舉的例很好：
(3x) You don't do nothing no more without my permission!
(2x) Don't you do nothing and stand there!
借用第二句說一下：
其重點在於「做點什麼事」而非站不「站那裡」。您認為是嗎？

Answer 4

Ha! Ha! Master AP, I think it is YOU make the situation even more complicated. I hope poster would not get even more confuse without understanding the logic behind your saying.

I think, it is GOOD to know these, after all, my saying too simplified. Especially, your saying: 語言有時候應用雙重否定(甚至3重否定)來強調"否定 is a good point.

To follow this "common sense," shall we exchange the position between answer and opinion?

I like master Louis's answer. It is a good point to consider the use of "should", not "shall". Thanks a lot for pointing it out.

Answer 5

> 畢竟，雙重否定表示肯定的

阿瓜是有點太過邏輯了.語言有時候應用雙重否定(甚至3重否定)來強調"否定".

Example?

(3x) You don't do nothing no more without my permission!
(2x) Don't you do nothing and stand there!

與"without"應該一起學的是"within"這字.醬學才會有趣!

Given that human is complicated, so are its languages.
However, following some common senses (for example, princess is always right), they become much simpler than you think.
