現在的家長也許很少對孩子說「不」了,大多數會說「NO」吧。(當然,在對話情況下還是會說「不行」、「不可以」、「唔得」⋯⋯)
英文的一個「NO」字,中文卻不是簡單的一個「不」字喔。另一個相等份量的字是「沒」。
對於已在學習躍進級的孩子,可以集中認識一下這兩個字不同的用法。
Even among the Chinese community, it is very common for parents nowadays to use “NO” to their children. Although in many conversations, one would still often say「不行」、「不可以」、「唔得」⋯
Translating the English “no” into Chinese is often more than a simple “不”. Another commonly used word is “沒”.
If your child is on Building Reader level, you could try to point out the various uses and the differences between these two words.
If you are interested to learn more about YES/NO in Chinese, please read our other article “YES or NO – Simple questions?“.
當動詞或形容詞加上「不」或「沒」,就會變成一句問句。下面是一些例子:
When you add “不” or “沒” to a verb or an adjective, it turns into a question. Below are some examples:
動詞/形容詞 | 「不」/「沒」 | 例句 |
---|---|---|
好 | 好不好 | 我們一起玩,好不好? |
在 | 在不在 | 媽媽在不在家? |
想 | 想不想 | 你想不想去公園玩? |
吃 | 吃不吃 | 小貓吃不吃菜? |
是 | 是不是 | 今天是不是星期一? |
去 | 去不去 | 小明去游泳,你去不去? |
有 | 有沒有 | 這裏有沒有人? |
高 | 高不高 | 他長得高不高? |
熱 | 熱不熱 | 你穿那麼多。熱不熱? |
好吃 | 好(吃)不好吃 | 面包好(吃)不好吃? |
喜歡 | 喜(歡)不喜歡 | 你喜(歡)不喜歡學校的老師? |
上面的例子中,只有「有」字會和「沒」字一起用呢。
Have you noticed that in the examples above, only the word “有” is used with “沒”?
其實很多字都可以和「不」字也可以和「沒」字一起用,但是兩種情況下的意思就不一樣了。看看下面的例子。
In fact, many words can be used with either “不” or “沒”. However, their respective meanings changed. Let us compare the examples below.
「不」 | 「沒」 |
---|---|
不看 - 我今天不看電視。 (這是我心中的計劃) | 沒看 - 我今天沒看電視。(到了晚上,回想這一天,事實上沒看) |
不吃 - 我不吃糖。 | 沒吃 - 大家都在吃糖,可是小明沒吃。 |
不說 - 我問她在看甚麼書,她不說。 | 沒說 - 媽媽出去的時候沒說要去哪裏。 |
原來妹妹生病了。Little Sister was ill.
多麼美好的一天啊!What a wonderful day!

和孩子說話的時候,你要用「不」還是「沒」呢?比較一下
Do you regularly use “不” or “沒” when speaking to your children? Let’s compare.
消極心態 | 積極心態 |
---|---|
我不看書 | 我今天還沒看書。等一會兒看。 |
我不吃這水果 | 我沒吃過這水果,想試一口。 |
你不會唱歌 | 你沒會唱歌,慢慢學。 |
你不會游泳 | 你沒會游泳,可以學。 |
我不坐飛機 | 我沒坐過飛機,有機會要坐坐。 |

一字之差,可以形成不同的心態喔。這就是文字的力量。
讓我們來教孩子,以積極的心態過每一天,為自己創造積極的人生吧。
