他们往往把注意力集中在否定词上，结果对含有该结构的句子的理解与正确含义完全相反。

联系上下文时，他们又认为前后矛盾，愈加糊涂。

例如：W：How did your interview go？M：I couldn't feel better about it！The questions were very fair，and I seemed to find an answer for all of them．几点：1．该结构多为“can't ／couldn't ＋比较级”的形式。

例如：1）I can't agree with you more．我再同意你不过了。

（或：我完全同意你的意见。

）2）The weather couldn't be worse．天气再糟糕不过了。

3）He couldn't have done better．他做得再好不过了。

2．用于该结构中的否定词除了not之外，还有no，never，nothing等。
