復雜的否定句的拆分和理解 例180

例180　"I can't think of a single search I've done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first." says Mary.

【結構分析】這是典型的雙重否定句，要還原成肯定句，句子的主語是I，動詞是can't think of，賓語是a single search，后面是省略了that的定語從句I've done，后面是定語where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于雙重否定句套用定語從句，很有特色，比如I can not think of anytime when I don't seek my dreams。

【核心詞匯】

a single search　每一次的招聘

a board　董事會

instruct me to look at　要求我尋找

sitting CEOs　在任的CEO

【參考譯文】Mary說，我所做的每一次的招聘中，董事會都要求我從那些在任的CEO中尋找人選。
