二、知识点回顾（对应例句编号）
2.1 否定字的表现
1. 没告诉我要穿
2. 告诉我不要穿
本动词否定 -> 助动词 + not + VR
不定词否定 -> not + to VR
jeans，裤子有两个裤管，所以复数。
3. Australian
Austrian
重音（类似汉语一声）、非重音（类似汉语三声）
5. not because ..., but because ...
because 连词 + S + V
7. No + S
S的单复数决定动词
8. Nobody = No one
9. He is no genius.
=> He is not a genius.
意思一样，语气不一样。
10~11. never
12~15. hardly、scarcely、rarely、seldom
15. England has seldom won the World Cup, has it?
主句有否定的意思，所以最后反问时用“肯定”。
16. Few
few = not many
17. little
little = not much
动词showed这里还可以用had、took替换。
2.2 部分否定
18. Both ... not ...
并非两者都
19. Neither
None
全部否定
20. read发音
VR /rid/
过去式 /r...d/
not always = sometimes

注意：quite（相当的）、altogether（完全的）、completely（完全的）、
entirely（完全的）、exactly（确实的）等和not共用，就会形成部分否定。
