發問:
What's the difference between 'can't you understand?' and 'can you understand?' or if there is any difference bwteen 'don't you understand? and 'can't you understand 更新: thanks a lot!!!! but .... is "can't you understand?" a rhetorical question ??????????
最佳解答:
這兩句的分別，是在於問問題的人，對答案的期望 Can't you understand，問問題的人是期望”Yes, I can"的答案，這表示，問問題的人是估計你是能夠明白的人。 而Can you understand?則問問題的人沒有預先期望的答案 而Do you understand與Can you understand的分別是，Can是能力的問題，是問對方有沒有能力明白，而Do是事實的問題，是問對方究竟明不明白 2007-04-27 09:49:53 補充： 讓我補充少許，當人問Can't you understand，問問題的人是認為被問的那個人應該是能夠的，所以在中文可以這樣譯：”難道你不能明白？”，若用廣東話可以說：”你仲不能夠明白嗎？”如：I have explained it many times, Can't you understand?”我已解釋了許多次，難道你還不能明白？”（問問題者，因著自己已解釋多次，所以，認為被問者是能明白的） 2007-05-04 11:53:33 補充： Can't you understand?這句並非rhetorical question，因為rhetorical question的作用如強制性的陳述(forceful statement)，就好像Is that a reason for despair?（中譯：這是失望的理由嗎？）（當然，問者是逼大家答：不是） 2007-05-04 11:58:03 補充： Can't you understand?這只不過是問題帶著negative orientation，讓我引用【A University Grammar of English】一書的一番說話──”Negative orientation is complicated, however, by an element of surprise or disbelief which adds implications of positive meaning.” 2007-05-04 12:02:19 補充： 如：Isn't your car workikng?這句意思是：Is it really true that your car isn't working? I had assumed that it wasCan't you drive striaght?(I'd have thought you'd be able to, but apparently you can't) 2007-05-04 12:06:09 補充： 讓我修改我答案一點，Can't you understand?，若說問問題者有預期的答案，不如說發問者有預先的假設，但事情的發生與他的假設好像剛剛相反，所以發問。但Can you understand?發問者則沒有假設
can';t you understand = 那你不能明白/瞭解嗎? (含意: 乜你腦袋唔function?, 乜你唔用腦, 咁都唔明?) >> 外國來說, 非常沒禮貌的 !!! 千萬唔好用呀.. 好insult架 can you understand = 那你能明白/瞭解嗎? 你可以瞭解嗎? (含意: 都系有少少"便"意, 指唔太用腦) >> 都系同一句, 用can來問嘢系比較唔禮貌. don';t you understand = 那你不明白/瞭解嗎? (含意: 乜你不明白/瞭解? 指問你嗰個人都唔suppose你不明白/瞭解?) >> 比較正常, 有禮貌咁問 2007-04-26 15:06:41 補充： 切記,.. 一定有分別架.. 我以前細細個比鬼老上師話得多, 所以先知咋...|||||can';t you understand - 有一點無耐性的反問 ...等如 我講到咁白 ..can';t you understand 表現發問者相信 被問者還不明白 而 can you understand? 則發問者無情緒上的表現 普通咁問你明唔明白 don';t you understand? and 'can';t you understand 係一樣
