Question

The most frightening thing of all was that not a sound could be heard.

The most frightening thing of all was that not a sound could be heard. There was no doubt that we were unwelcome visitors.no 和not 的用法 ？

Answer 1

1. no 用作形容词，置于可数名词单数前面时，相当于 not a;
2. 放在可数名词复数前面或不可数名词前时，相当于 not any, 意为“没有的，全无的”“远非的，完全不是的”
例如: Kate is no teacher.(=Kate is not a teacher.) 凯特根本不是教师?

希望采纳，谢谢！

那例句可以改成no sound,和 not a doubt 喽？

追答

语法上是not any doubt，但是还得考虑用语习惯啊，有的可以改，有的改了拗口

Answer 2

最令人恐怖的事情是，没有一个声音能被听到（听不到任何声音），was后面引导的是一个表语从句

Answer 3

not 表示不是，而no doubt 是固定短语，表示毫无疑问
