| 释义 | 1．下面两句意思相同，第一句比第二句普通： I do not know whether he is twenty or twenty-one. I do not know whether he is twenty or whether he is twenty-one. 2．下面六句意思相同，第一句最普通： I do not know whether he is well or not. I do not know whether he is well or no. I do not know whether or not he is well. I do not know whether or no he is well. I do not know whether he is well or whether he is not well. I do not know whether he is well or is not well. whether or no 可以作“无论如何”解。例如：Well, I'll come whether or no. （唔，我无论如何要来。） 3．下面三句略有不同： I do not know whether he is well or not. I do not know whether he is well. I do not know whether he is not well. 第一句是“我不知道他身体是否好”。第二句有“我想他身体也许不好”的意思。第三句含有“我想他身体大约并非不好”的意思。比较下面两句： I asked him whether he knew her. （我想他并不认识她。） I asked him whether he did not know her. （我想他也许认识她。） 4．注意下面第一句里用 rains，不用 will rain，第二句里用 calls 和 call，不用 will call 和 shall call： Whether it rains or not, I will go tonight. Whether he calls on us or we call on him tomorrow, we shall talk the matter over. 5．下面每组里的第一句比第二句普通： 6．the question (of) whether we ought to start today or tomorrow 和 the problem (of) whether light is matter 等表达方式里的 of 是多余的，最好删去。 7．比较下面每组里的三句： 第一句和第二句都是正常的英语，有人以为第三句不算正当。 |
