涉及省略结构if not, not的语法题

请看下面的题,考查什么样的省略结构:

If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If _________, _________.

A. not, not               B. no, no                  C. not, no                D. no, not

【分析】此题应选A。If not, not. 为 If the weather is NOT fine, we will NOT go. 全句意为“如果天气好, 我们就去;如果天气不好,我们就不去”。该句的特点是:后句与前句的用词和句式完全相同, 只是前句为肯定,后句为否定,为了简洁起见, 于是将后句与前句相同部分省略,只保留否定词 not。又如:

If it is cheap, I’ll buy it. If not, not. 如果这东西便宜,我就买;如果不便宜,我就不买。

If you study hard, you’ll succeed. If not, not. 你若努力,你就会成功;你若不努力,你就不会成功。

If you start at once, you’ll catch the train. If not, not. 你若马上动身,你就会赶上火车;你若不马上动身,你就赶不上火车了。

请再看以下例子(只保留否定词not)。如:

“Can you repair it yourself?” “I am afraid not.” “你自己会修吗?”“恐怕不行。”(=I am afraid I can't repair it myself.)

“Did you know anything about it?” “Not until you told me.” “这事你以前知道吗?”“你告诉我才知道。”(=I didn't know anything about it until you told me.)

“Will it rain today?” “I hope not.” “今天会下雨吗?”“希望不会。”(=I hope it will not rain today.)
