1. 不定式的否定式的構(gòu)成

通常是將否定詞not或never置于不定式之前，即構(gòu)成not to do 或never to do 的形式，注意not和never一定要放在不定式符號to的前面，而不是其后面：

The doctor advised me not to smoke. 醫(yī)生勸我不要抽煙。

It’s politically short-sighted not to do so. 不這樣做在政治上是短視的。

He strongly advised me not to do so. 他使勁勸我別這樣做。

Visitors are requested not to touch the exhibits. 參觀的人請勿觸摸展品。

【注意】若不定式為完成式和被動式，否定詞應(yīng)置于整個結(jié)構(gòu)之前：

She pretended not to have seen him. 她假裝沒看見他。

It is nice not to be dependent on others. 不依靠別人是好的。

You were silly not to have locked your car. 你沒鎖車太傻了。

2. so as to do sth 和in order to do sth 的否定式

對于這兩個結(jié)構(gòu)的否定式，通常是將否定詞置于不定式符號to之前，而不是置于整個結(jié)構(gòu)之前或其他位置：

Study hard so as not to fail the exam. 努力學(xué)習(xí)，以免考試不及格。
