So, dear friends, in modern english
Posted by Jee-an on March 16, 2003
are the structures of 'Not all..to be (or Do
)sth else'
and 'All sth to be (or do) not sth else' still in used side by side
? coz too me they are mean two difference things. And I even don't know if the
way to understand 'All that glitters is not gold' as 'Not all that glitters is
gold' still conventional in modern english. If it is , then how should we differenciate
the meanings of those two structures.
By the way, I have a wild guess that 'Not all that glitters is gold'could be rephrased in full as 'it is not that all that glitters is gold'.
Thank you all
