对反义疑问句的回答,无论问题的提法如何,如果事实是肯定的,就用yes,事实是否定的,就要用no。要特别注意陈述句部分是否定结构,反义疑问句部分用肯定式提问时,回答yes或no与汉语正好相反。这种省略回答的yes要译成“不”,no要译成“是”。
若事实是肯定的,用yes回答;若事实是否定的,就用no来回答。
例:He likes playing football,doesn’t he?他喜欢踢足球,是吗?
Yes,he does./No,he doesn’t.是的。/不是。
His sister didn’t attend the meeting,did she?他妹妹没有参加会议,是吗?
Yes,she did./No,she didn’t.不,她参加了。/是的,她没参加。
