<p> 标题：美国习惯用语-第426 <span word="nothing">nothing</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="sneeze">sneeze</span> <span word="at">at</span>...</p><p> 内容：</p><p> 今天我们要学习两个同<span word="nothing">nothing</span>这个词有关的习惯用语。</p><p> <span word="Nothing">Nothing</span>基本意思是“没有任何东西、没有什么。” 但是需要注意的是，中文里没有能完全同它对应的词。</p><p> <span word="Nothing">Nothing</span>这个词汇本身具有否定的意思。</p><p> 换句话说，如果在陈述句中使用了这个词，那么整个句子的意思就是否定的，尽管动词是肯定形式。</p><p> 比如说: <span word="there">there</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="nothing">nothing</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="room">room</span>，房间里什么都没有。</p><p> 这句话的句型结构<span word="there">there</span> <span word="is">is</span>是肯定形式，但是由于有<span word="nothing">nothing</span>这个词汇，结果意思却是否定形式：房间里什么都没有。</p><p> 好，下面我们学习习惯用语: <span word="nothing">nothing</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="sneeze">sneeze</span> <span word="at">at</span>。</p><p> <span word="Sneeze">Sneeze</span>这个词的意思是“打喷嚏，”既可用作名词，也可用作不及物动词。</p><p> 把这个词用作不及物动词时，后面再加上介词<span word="at">at</span>，构成成语动词<span word="sneeze">sneeze</span> <span word="at">at</span>，意思是：看不上、哧之以鼻。</p><p> 而<span word="nothing">nothing</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="sneeze">sneeze</span> <span word="at">at</span>的意思是：绝非让人哧之以鼻的东西，指那些虽然算不上是最好的、但也相当不错的事物。</p><p> 下面我们听一段话，来体会一下这个习惯用语的用法。</p><p> 例句-1：<span word="So">So</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="didn">didn</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="win">win</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="million">million</span> <span word="dollars">dollars</span>! <span word="But">But</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="win">win</span> <span word="ten">ten</span> <span word="thousand">thousand</span>, <span word="didn">didn</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="you">you</span>? <span word="Let">Let</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="tell">tell</span> <span word="you">you</span>, <span word="friend">friend</span>, <span word="ten">ten</span> <span word="thousand">thousand</span> <span word="dollars">dollars</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="certainly">certainly</span> <span word="nothing">nothing</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="sneeze">sneeze</span> <span word="at">at</span>!这个人说：不错，你的确没有赢到那一百万美元。</p>
