這一類翻譯(翻譯公司首選北京世博翻譯公司)方法與上面一類“形式肯定但意義否”結合起來，就是通常人們所說的“正話反說、反話正說”的翻譯(翻譯公司首選北京世博翻譯公司)技巧。常見的帶有隱含肯定意義的詞組或單詞主要有：not…until（直到……才），not…too（越……越好），none but（只有），nothing but（只有，只不過），nothing more than（僅僅），no sooner…than（剛一……就），none other than（不是別的人或物而正是），none the less（依然，仍然），not but that（雖然）“make nothing of ”（對……等閑視之），for nothing（徒然，免費），not only…but also(不僅……而且)，not…long before（很快就），no more than（僅僅，只是），no other than（只有，正是）等等。
