- 我想問 have not been not included, 有2個not, 咁係咪叫負負得正??

這種句法叫雙重否定(double negative),雙重否定最好不宜多用。要解釋”雙重否定”有時要頗憑經驗,如:I don't know nothing嚴格來說,是等於I know something,但這句是在英語國家教育水平低的人常用語,意思就是:I know nothing(我甚麼都不知道);
但教育水平高的人有時也用雙重否定,如:His problem in following Kennedy is not entirely unlike Truman's problem of following Roosevelt ( 他 仿 效 甘 迺 迪 , 問 題 不 是 完 全 不 像 杜 魯 門 之 仿 效 羅 斯 福 ) 。其實這句 可用”somewhat like”來取代not entirely unlike,意思即:他仿效甘迺迪,問題有點像杜魯門之仿效羅斯福。
你的示句的意思,正如你所說,就是=have been included,作者之所以用”have not been not included”是因為200l的聲言中,就是”not included”,所以特意用”not included”做一個比較的作用,但這種用法,不學也罷!
2.going to war turned out to have been an inefficient way of upholding human rights
-have been an inefficient way即係點解???
to have been an inefficient way你可以看為to be an inefficient way的完成式
意即:已證明是沒有甚麼功效

3.there have been some progress here.
- 點解要有been o係度??
-there have some progress here 跟它一樣嗎??
我們中國人常容易犯的錯誤之一,就是常說:there have some...之類的用語,意解為:那裏有些...
其實there之後不會用作為主動詞的have,而用be,意思是”有”,也不是”那裏有”這時的there不解做”那裏”,若想說那裏有,就要說:there are ... there
所以,there have some progress here是文化錯的。
而為甚麼there have been some progress here就沒有錯?因為這句的have不是主動詞,而是作助動詞用,使句子成為現在完成式。
4.......as being the director of the company and he is said to be 30 years of age.
- of age 即係咩???30歲時??

你真聰明,就是30歲
5.there are many more things in the world that are more important than politics
-many more thing . many 係咪形容more ??
形容詞 可以 形容 形容詞 ??唔係副詞先可以形容 adj ?? 補充時間:2007-09-08 19:43:12
many你可以看為數量形容詞,是要用來修飾”普通名詞”
它在你的示句絕對不是修飾more,而是修飾more things,而more things就像beautiful girls一樣,都是一個名詞吧了,我們絕對可以說:there are many beautiful girls in Hong Kong.
6. satellite pictures which point the finger at ships which pollute should now be available to anyone who wants them.
成句係咪話"那張 指出 船中會造成污染的指狀物 的人造衛星圖片 現在應該 能 給需要它的人"?? 補充時間:2007-09-08 19:43:28
這句point the finger at someone是一句片語,意思是指證某人要為某些錯誤負責的意思
全句意思是:指證那些船隻造成污染的人造衛星相片,現在應該提供給任何想要它的人。

7. the UA is the most appropriate forum for new verification procedures to be developed.
- to be developed 係點解??唔要to be 咁ok ma??

to be developed是用了不定詞用來作為修飾procedures的,意思是:new verification procedures that can be developed. 意即 可被建立的新核實程序
想你必知道,與沒有to be的分別。
