still在否定句中的位置

我還是不明白你的意思。

誤：I don't still understand what you mean.

正：I still don't understand what you mean.

析：still 用於否定句時，應放在 don't, haven't, didn't 等否定詞之前。又如：

He still doesn't understand. 他仍然不懂。

The breakfast I ordered still hasn't arrived. 我要的早餐還沒有來。

I still haven't heard from her. 我還是沒有聽到她的消息。

When I came back at midnight she still hadn't finished. 我半夜廻來時，他還沒有做完。

I've been waiting for an hour and he still hasn't turned up. 我等了一小時了，可他還沒來。

I still haven't thanked Aunt Lucy for her present. 對露茜姑姑送的禮物我還沒有表示感謝呢。

I've been married to you for sixteen years and I still don't understand you. 我和你結婚16年了，可我對你仍然不了解。

注：有時 still 也可放在助動詞與否定詞(not)之間，但較少見，如：

A solution still hasn't been found. / A solution has still not been found. 還沒有找到解決的辦法)，

但是不能說：A solution hasn't still been found.
