肯定-否定

E.g. 例如:

    • A. Only Mary and her sister go to school.

    • 只有玛丽和她妹妹去上学

    • B. The (T.M) rest of the family does not.

    • 其他(T. M)家庭成员【却】不需要

      (T.M) = "on the contrary" (T. M)=“相反”

The following unit B is a Unit of Negative Content with reference to A, for it gives the content contrary to that given in A, i.e., "those going to school". 下面的单元B是关于A的否定内容单元,因为它给出的内容与A中给出的内容相反,即“上学的人”

Accordingly, A is termed a Unit of Affirmative Content with reference to B. 因此,A被称为关于B的肯定内容单元

    • A. The sentence " she did not go," means that she did not go abroad.

    • 【尽管】“她没有去”这句话的意思是她没有出国

    • B. She (T.M) did go to school and other places nearby.

    • 【不过】她(T. M)确实去了学校和附近的其他地方

      (The translation of the thematic marker is the same as above) (关系连词译文同上)

The following unit B is a Unit of Negative Content with reference to A, for it gives the content contrary to that given in the commented part of A, i.e., "her lack of movement". 下面的单元B是关于A的否定内容单元,因为它给出的内容与A中给出的注释部分相反,即“她缺乏动作”

Accordingly, A is termed a Unit of Affirmative Content with reference to B. 因此,A被称为关于B的肯定内容单元
