Dos & Don’ts — 想想看，這句話英語該怎麼說？
1. 所有學生都沒答對。
ˇ None of the students are/is right.

χ All the students are not right.
註︰“All... not...” 並非全部否定，例如：All that glitters is not gold.（並非金光閃閃就是金子。）中文裡的「都不」、「都沒有」，在英語中習慣用 none of...（指兩個以上時）。None 視上下文可為單數或複數，若用單數是把「所有學生」當作一個群體。
None of them attended the meeting.

（他們都沒有出席會議。）
None of the boys were/was interested in this game.
（孩子們對這遊戲都不感興趣。）
若是要用 All 的話，則補語要用具否定意義的詞，如 wrong 或 absent。
例如：
All the answers are wrong. All students were absent.
2. 大家都爬不上來。
ˇ No one could climb up.
χ Everyone could not climb up.
註︰在有 every 的句中的否定語氣也和 all 一樣，只是部分的否定，意謂「非人人……」；若not 放在 every 之前，也是一樣。例如：
Not everyone can do this.（這不是人人都能做的。）
中文「大家都不…」、「大家都沒有…」、「任何＋名詞＋都不…」，在英語往往用 no one、nobody 或 no ＋名詞來表達。例如：
No one can help him.
（大家都無法幫助他。）
No country has the right to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
（任何國家都無權干涉他國內政。）
3. 這兩本小說，我一本也不喜歡。
ˇ I don’t like either of these books.
χ I like neither of these books.
χ I don’t like both of these books.
註：both 用在否定句中，是「部分否定」。在意義上，錯句 ＝ I like only one of the novels. 即「這兩本小說我不是都喜歡」，亦即「我只喜歡這兩本小說中的一本」。在表示全部否定意義時，要用 neither 或 not ... either。
4他們兩位都沒有病。
ˇ Neither of them is sick.
χ None of them are sick.
註︰none of 後面的名詞或代名詞指三個以上的人或物，不可只指兩個，所以應該改為
neither of them，且述部動詞應為單數。
5. 會議進行中，任何人都不得入內。
ˇ No one will be admitted while the meeting is in progress.
χ Anyone will not be admitted while the meeting is in progress.
註︰否定句中作主詞的只有 no one, nobody, nothing，用 anyone, anybody, anything 不合習慣用法。
例如，不可說 “Anybody cannot do it.”，應該說 “Nobody can do it.”。
不可說 “Anything is not interesting”，應該說 “Nothing is interesting.”。

For many people in Taiwan, childhood memories of rural life include pig pens standing beside family homes. Leftover rice, vegetable scraps and soup from daily meals were poured into buckets and fed to pigs. This practice of feeding pigs with household food waste was once a common way of life, both an economic choice and an expression of agricultural society’s deep respect for conserving resources. From a practical standpoint, pigs are omnivorous animals capable of efficiently digesting food scraps that humans can no longer eat. For rural households, food waste cost almost nothing, yet it could be converted into pork, a

Tango unfolds in a dimly lit room, where a haunting melody ushers two dancers into a close embrace. Here, music and movement merge into a silent yet passionate conversation, expressing longing, memory and shared purpose. What makes tango truly magical is the deep interaction and spontaneous improvisation between partners. Tango began in the late 19th century in Buenos Aires, Argentina’s bustling capital. Born in the poor working-class neighborhoods and busy port areas, this dance emerged from a melting pot of cultures. European immigrants, African slaves and local residents all contributed to its unique character. From these rich influences, tango
