例105 Apart from the fact that twenty-seven acts of parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements.
【結構分析】句子開始用了一個介詞短語Apart from the fact that twenty-seven acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising,做狀語,修飾整個句子,其中the fact that twenty-seven acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising是個同位語從句,主句運用了雙重否定句,主語是no regular advertiser,動詞是dare promote,賓語是a product,后面加上定語從句是that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements。
【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于運用了雙重否定,很多肯定句子用雙重否定,更加有親和力,作文可以用雙重否定,中國人喜歡肯定句,美國人喜歡用雙否定句,來代替肯定句,雙重否定句可以翻譯成肯定句,更好理解。
