點解英文歌詞don't wanna後面會再加no more?

2014-06-11 5:17 pm
如題,

如Rihanna的"I hate that I love you"其中一句:
"So that I don't wanna fuss and fight no more"
點解don't wanna之後再加no more?
其真正意思係"Don't wanna"還是"Wanna"?

又如BOA的"Energetic":
'The floor is callin me
And I dont know what else to do
The energy in here is fire
And the speakers too
See the DJ hittin that replay
Do what he say and turn me on
Imma do a lotta talkin with my feet
And the beat and I promise dont need no phone"
最尾一句:又"don't need"又"no phone", 咁即係need定唔need?

多謝大家幫忙~!!!

✔ 最佳答案
"So that I don't wanna fuss and fight no more"

嚴格來說,"no more" 在這裡 語法 (grammar) 是錯的,應該用 "any more".

這是常見的錯誤,甚至一些說母語的人士 native speaker ,尤其是較低水平的口語 spoken Englsih 或 流行音樂歌詞。


查字典 (Oxford Dictionary):

"any more" - often used at the end of negative sentences and at the end of questions, to mean "any longer" (不再).

grammatical sentence:

So that I don't want to fuss and fight any more.

2014-06-11 12:57:58 補充:
don't need no phone (= don't need any phone) is an example of double negative

A double negative uses two negative words in the same sentence to express a single negative idea. Although they’re still widely used in English dialects, they aren’t considered acceptable in current standard English.

和數學一樣,負負得正。
