复杂的否定句的拆分和理解 例180

例180　"I can't think of a single search I've done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first." says Mary.

【结构分析】这是典型的双重否定句，要还原成肯定句，句子的主语是I，动词是can't think of，宾语是a single search，后面是省略了that的定语从句I've done，后面是定语where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于双重否定句套用定语从句，很有特色，比如I can not think of anytime when I don't seek my dreams。

【核心词汇】

a single search　每一次的招聘

a board　董事会

instruct me to look at　要求我寻找

sitting CEOs　在任的CEO

【参考译文】Mary说，我所做的每一次的招聘中，董事会都要求我从那些在任的CEO中寻找人选。
