常用但容易搞错的句子:
- I do not know all of them.
对他们我不是个个都认识- All the answers are not right.
答案并非全对- Everybody wouldn't like it.
并不是每上人都会喜欢它
注: all,both,every,everyone,everything,everybody,everywhere 等与否定词not,no连用时,表示的是部分否定,而非全部否定。若要表示全部否定,则应用相应的表示否定的否定词all –none,both ---neither,every—no,everyone—no one(nobody),everything—nothing,everywhere—nowhere等。
- It is a long lane that had no turning.
无论多长的巷也有弯的地方(路必有弯,事必有变)- It is a wise man that never makes mistakes.

再好的马也有失前蹄的时候。(引申意义:金无足赤,人无完人。)
注: “It is a+形容词+名词+that...”结构是一个特殊的习惯用法,意思是“无论怎样的...也不...”
