说明
everything...not
核心问题
...she discovered that Drouet had been there. His umbrella and light overcoat were gone. She thought she missed other things, but could not be sure. Everything had not been taken.
[原译]……她发现杜洛埃曾经来过。他的阳伞和薄大衣已经不见。她心里以为还少了别的东西，但是确不定。什么都没有拿去。（《嘉丽妹妹》，p.249）
我认为译文自相矛盾。请分析。
词典解答
译文刚说完“她发现杜洛埃的伞和大衣不见了”，怎么又说：“什么都没有拿去”呢？显然，原译者是把部分否定看成是全部否定了。Everything had not been taken. 似应译为：“他并没有把所有的东西都拿走。”（参见 all...not）。
