部分否定的翻译比较简单，常常翻译为“并非所有，并不是都。

如：all…not（不全是，不都是），both…not（并非两个都，不是两者都），every…not（不是每个都），not always（不总是，不一定），not often(不经常)，not altogether（不全是），not necessarily（未必）等。

All that glitters is not gold.并非所有发光的都是金子。

The responsibility is not altogether mine.责任并不全在于我身上。

The situation is not necessarily so.情况并非如此。

（二）需要注意的是，“all…not”和“every…not”等结构属于传统用法。

现代英语中，也会把否定词放在整个句子的最前面，而采用“Not all…”和“Not every…”这种表达形式。

这种用法在语法和逻辑上也能讲得通。

Not all metals are good conductors.并非所有的金属都是良导体。

二、全部否定在英语中，构成全部否定的单词和词组主要有以下这些：never（决不，从来不），no（没有，不），not（不，不是），none（没人，谁都不，没有任何东西），nobody（没人），nothing （什么也没有，没有任何事情），nowhere（没有什么地方），neither（两者都不），nor（也没有，也不），not at all （一点也不）。

三、双重否定双重否定是指同一个句子中出现两个否定词，即否定之否定。

双重否定句表示的意思是肯定的，通常比肯定句的语气要重。

翻译成汉语的时候，可以直接用汉语对应的双重否定来翻译，也可以直接翻译为汉语的肯定句。

常见的双重否定形式主要有：no…not(没有……不)，without…not（没有……就不），never(no)…without（每逢……总是，没有……不），never(no)…but（没有……不），not(none)…the less（并不……就不），not(never)…unless（不少于，不亚于，和……一样），not…any the less（没有……而少做）。
