这里的No why取得分别是No的B1释义和why的B, 所以就是"没有原因的", 而更经常翻译成"没有问什么", no在表示"没有"的时候, 后面要直接加名词, 不过可数不可数都可以, 一般情况下, No why只会用在用why提问的特殊疑问句的回答上, 下面我用No why造几个句子:
- Why did you ask that? 你为什么问那个?
- No why. Just asked. 没为什么。只是问一下。
- Why me? 为什么是我?
- No why. Go ahead. 没有为什么。开始吧。
- Why you want to go abroad? 你为什么想出国?
- No why. 没为什么。
口语中NO WHY是“没有为什么”的意思,但是这是不符合语法规则的,正确的说法是"NO REASON“
我哭死 girlfriend 里不是 no why 而是no way 意思是没门 Do you know?
NO是:没有,不。why是:为什么。 所以…
口语的说法,意思是没有为什么
