今天我们来讲个跟“not”有关的非常细节的知识点，这个点坑过很多同学。
The resurgence of multiple ethnic groups within a single state is not “potentially threatening to the sovereign jurisdiction of the state,” as Urban and Sherzer suggest.
1. What do Urban and Sherzer believe?
A. The resurgence of multiple ethnic groups within a single state potentially threatens the sovereign jurisdiction of the stateB. The resurgence of multiple ethnic groups within a single state potentially does not threaten the sovereign jurisdiction of the stateThis obligation included both entertainment and instruction, which are not, says Baym, at odds with one another in these books.
2. What does Baym believe?A. Entertainment and instruction are at odds with one another in these books.B. Entertainment and instruction are not at odds with one another in these books.为什么两个句子都有引用者，都有not，但这两个引用者对核心讨论的问题一个持肯定态度，一个持否定态度呢？让我用更简单的例句来给大家illustrate这个问题吧。1. 万蜀黍 is not cute, Monica says.
2. 万蜀黍 is not cute, as Monica says.
“万蜀黍 is not cute, Monica says” 其实就是一个宾语从句位置的改变，本质上这个句子就是 “Monica says that 万蜀黍 is not cute”，而这个句子我们都应该能看懂Monica是不认为万蜀黍可爱的，这个 “not” 是引用的Monica观点的一个部分。
这个句子本质上是as … as的结构，省略了第一个as而已。
如果你把这个句子看成它的原始形式，“万蜀黍 is not as cute as Monica says”，我们很容易就能明白这个 “not” 并不是Monica观点的一部分，这个 “not” 是我们熟悉的 “not as … as”结构的一部分，所以这个句子其实是在拿说话者所实际认为的万蜀黍与Monica所认为的万蜀黍去比较，这个not不是Monica给出的判断，而是说话者自己给的判断。
于是我们根据这个句子，就应该明白，Monica认为万蜀黍可爱，但说话者不认为。
The resurgence of multiple ethnic groups within a single state is not “potentially threating to the sovereign jurisdiction of the state,” as Urban and Sherzer suggest.
The resurgence of multiple ethnic groups within a single state is not as “potentially threatening to the sovereign jurisdiction of the state” as Urban and Sherzer suggest. 于是我们就应该明白U和S认为resurgence这件事情是threatening的，但说话者(作者)不这么认为，所以这个句子里的not是属于说话者的，而不是属于U和S的。
This obligation included both entertainment and instruction, which are not, says Baym, at odds with one another in these books.
这个句子本身有一个主句，This obligation included both entertainment and instruction. 这个主句是说话者给的，不属于Baym的部分。我们单看Baym的部分，从句脱离出来，如果变成一个单独的句子，实际语序是Entertainment and instruction are not, says Baym, at odds with one another in these books. Baym says that entertainment and instruction are not at odds with one another in these books.
所以，这个not自然是Baym观点的一部分。
而目前，说话者对于entertainment和instruction的关系是没有给出看法的。
Nor were these practices confined, as some scholars insist, to the latter and supposedly decadent phases of the art.1.What do the scholars believe about the practices?A. They are confined to the latter phases of the art.B. They are not confined to the latter phases of the art?2.What does the author believe about the practices?
A. They are confined to the latter phases of the art.B. They are not confined to the latter phases of the art.今天的分享就到这里了。我是万蜀黍。我教你用逻辑和理性来看待英语！万蜀黍最新一期GRE阅读全程班今天(9月17日)开课！会给大家详细讲解所有GRE阅读逻辑及相应考点+各类题型最优解题方法想要系统学习GRE阅读的童鞋不要错过！（可扫下方二维码添加助教咨询课程详情↓）
