no/not/never…without N/V-ing
1 本句型主要是介紹雙重否定的用法。老師可以從基本的 without + N/V-ing 用法複習,接下來再介紹本課no/not/never...without N/V-ing句型。當同學熟悉本課句型後,也可以再延伸到類似there is no...but + V...用法的句型。雙重否定及相關結構分析:
否定
片語
① 修飾名詞:...N + without + N
② 修飾動詞:...V + without + N/V-ing
③ 修飾主要子句(假設句型):Without + N, S + V-ed
雙重
否定
① no/not/never...without + N (狀態)
② no/not/never...without + V-ing(動作)
對稱
句型
① No + N, no + N(省略句)
② There is no + N, there is no + N
2 without的用法:
(1) N + without + N(沒有……的……):作形容詞片語,修飾前面的名詞。
• A man without willpower is unable to achieve something great.
(2) S + V... + without + N/V-ing(沒有……就……):作副詞片語,修飾前面的動詞。
• In spite of the cold weather, he went out without his overcoat.
• Some students go to school without having breakfast.
(3) Without + N, S + V-ed... → S + V-ed...without + N(若無/要是沒有,……):配合假設句(動詞用過去式)。

• I couldn’t live till today without my grandmother.
3 雙重否定的用法:
no/not/never...without + N/V-ing(每……必……/無……不……):雙重否定是強調肯定句的美化句型。without + N表「狀態」;without + V-ing則強調「動作」。
• One can’t succeed without perseverance.(人無毅力不能成事。)
• Tony never writes an English composition without making many mistakes.(東尼每次寫英文作文必定犯許多錯。)
• There is no pleasure without pain.

4 相關句型補充:
no/not/never... + but + 肯定V...(每……必……/無……不……):雙重否定句型亦可用關係子句的形式,應注意先行詞的單複數要與關係子句中動詞的單複數配合。
(1) but為否定關係代名詞,故接肯定動詞;who為肯定關係代名詞,故接否定動詞。
• There is no mother but loves her children.
→ There is no mother who doesn’t love her children.【mother配合loves】
→ There is no mother doesn’t love her children. (×)【同學常犯錯誤】
(天下無不愛子女的母親。)

→ There is no one without his weak side.
→ There is no one hasn’t his weak side.(×)【同學常犯錯誤】

(2) but之後保留主詞為舊式寫法。
