—Do you drink much coffee as before?
—No,______at all. My sleeping problem is getting worse.
A.none B.little C.nothing D.anyting
请问这里选哪一个呢?答案选 A,但这里用 not at all 可以吗?
张老师:
—Do you drink much coffee as before?
—No,______at all. My sleeping problem is getting worse.
A.none B.little C.nothing D.anyting
个人觉得用none at all及not at all 都是可以接受的,但二者意义不同。None 只用来表达交际中所涉及具体对象的量,即在此题中只能表达coffee的量【一丁点都没有】; 而not 则是否定much,【不多但有】。
比较:
—Do you drink much coffee as before?
—No,none at all (= I drink none now). My sleeping problem is getting worse.
不,现在我一点都不喝了。因为我的睡眠问题每况愈下。
—Do you drink much coffee as before?
—No,not at all (=I do not drink much at all now). My sleeping problem is getting worse.
不,现在实在是不敢多喝了。因为我的睡眠问题每况愈下。

黎老师:
表示在数量方面“一点也没有”的意思时,应该用 none,不用 not。例如:
“You had no difficulty in finding it?” “None at all.”(《英语惯用法大词典》p.1286)
—Do you drink much coffee as before?
—No, ______at all. My sleeping problem is getting worse.
A.none B.little C.nothing D.anyting
在这道题中,much 表示数量,所以答案应该选 A,用 not at all 是错误的。
董老师:
我认为黎老师解答正确,表示“一点也没有”,应该用none at all。
not at all 表示“一点儿也不,根本不,完全不”用于强调否定陈述,好像强调的是事,不是数量。我的想法不一定对,请老师指教。
童老师:
个人感觉,用 not at all 时,not 更像是否定动词 drink,而不是否定 much。
