?正说与反说之间的转换是一种陈述方式的转换。双语在概念命名、话题表述、情态表达、侧重面、着眼点、描摹方式等方面存在差异，因此，正说与反说一般不涉及概念内涵问题。比如，汉语的“无人售书处”（反说式），着眼点在对客观现状的描述，英语的同义对应语式“self-service bookstore”（反说式），着眼于主观行为过程。

?肯定式与否定式的转换可能导致情态色彩的改变。一般说来，正说是一种认可式的、无异议的陈述，语气是肯定的、平铺直叙的；反说是从方面进行陈述的，有时可以获得较婉转、较灵活、较少“单刀直入”的认定效果，因而具有余味或弦外之音。如：

?可惜他不能来。I wish he would come. ?(原语余味较多，译语比较平淡)

?悔不该听他的话啊！Oh that I had listened to him. ?(译语对应为感叹句，力求不失余味） ?He couldn’t be more honest. 他够老实了。 ?(译语正说较质直，原语较为委婉） ?He’s a good riddance. 他还是不在场的好。 ?译语语气比较婉转。
