Question

这句话到底该如何理解？

Her writings are complex and for many years scholars have searched for romatics inspirations but have yet to understand her work.

but have yet to understand her work 是什么意思？

我原先的理解是：“但是已经懂得了她的作品”

但书上写的是：“但是仍旧不能理解她的作品”

如果按书上的翻译，为什么不再yet后面加上not呢？这里的but是表转折还是表否定？有可能是书上错了吗？

Answer 1

书上没有错
这和have to有关
例如I have to go to beijing. 我必须要去北京。现在肯定还没有去。
I have to read this book. 现在肯定还没有读。

Answer 2

yet已经表否定

but就是转折啊

Answer 3

but表转折
你要注意，yet后面有个to，这个才是关键

Answer 4

牛津高阶对此解释："have yet to"表尚没做的。

例句：we have yet to decide what action to take.=We have not decided what action to take.
