I can't agree any more = I do not agree.
-> e.g. I agreed once, I agreed twice, I can't agre ...

"agree" is a strange word.
It seems like it has some magic.
The more I thought, the more suspicious it seemed.

any longer= (不)再
any more=(不)再

The deadline is drawing near; we can't delay any more.
限期快到了, 不能再拖延。

我一点也吃不下，肚子都鼓起来了。
Stop it! I can't stand it any more!
住口!我再受不了了!

I got it !!!!!!!!
Only "Commendatory/Derogatory Word" as "agree/hate" is strange.
Because,
"Commendatory/Derogatory" enable sentences to mean "Positive" from "Negative".
Actually, just like in Chinese, for example:
--
Positive Sentence:
不能再同意了=同意得不能再同意了
不能再喜欢了＝喜欢得不能再喜欢了
不能再爱了＝爱得不能再爱了
不能再讨厌了 ＝ 讨厌的不能再讨厌了
"同意/喜欢/爱" are "Commendatory", "讨厌"is "Derogatory".
--
Negative Sentence:
不能再拖延了
不能再吃了
不能再忍受了
不能再停留下去了
不能再耐烦了
"拖延/吃/忍受/停留/耐烦" are "Neutral Word "

Oh my God

learnEnglish 发表于 2009-9-9 01:40

OH...
This is "double negative = positive"

Maisonette 发表于 2009-9-9 17:22

double negative is still negative

double negative is still negative

Why?????????????????????????????????????????????
Is this typical black English, too???????????????????????????????????

{:5_314:}

The lyrics is typical black English: double negative = negative (NOT positive). eg.. we don't need no education = we don't need education.

I've decided!
I would not say these sentences myself.
If someone says to me "I can't agree no more" or "I can't agree any more",
I will ask back "What do you mean? Do you agree or disagree?"

I know that "should you have any question = if you have any question".
