—“Excuse me, are you sure the clock will ring on time?” Tom asked — No,sir!
后面还有
“No, Sir!” said the owner, “When you shake it at 4:45 in the morning, it will ring.”
有人说意思是： “是的,先生!“老扳说：“当你在早上4：45的时候震一下它,它就会在那个时候响.”
这里的No回答的到底是哪个呢?为何用它来表示“是的”,为什么不能用Of course呢?谢谢啦!

"No"回答的是'Are you sure..."的问题,'the colck will ring on time“是从句；可回答"Yes,I'm sure."或"Yes.It will."——注意后者的Yes后面是句号.上面的汉译不对.正确的汉译是：
“麻烦问下,您确定这闹钟会按时响闹吗?”汤姆问.
“不,我不确定.”店主说,“不过你凌晨4：45摇一摇它,它肯定就会响的.”
yes译为“不”no译为“是的”的情况是有的,那是针对否定疑问句的回答的英译汉,例：
"The clock will ring on time,don't you know?"（——闹钟到点就响,你不知道吗?）
A1:"Yes,I do."（答1：不,我知道.）
A2:"No,I don't.”（答2：是啊,我不知道.）
——这个,中文习惯大家都知道怎么答；英文的不拐弯,更简单：肯定的就答YES,否定的就答NO.之所以说“英文不拐弯”（Yes后面肯定是do、will、am等肯定式,No后面肯定是don't、won't、am not等否定式）,是因为中文“拐了弯”：先否定你的看法（不,……）然后说实情（我知道）；或者先同意你的看法（是的,……）再说出实情（我不知道）.这里,如果Yes不译为“不”而译为“是”,或者No不译为“是”而译为“不”,中文就讲不通了,可以自己试一下：）
同时也感谢我的做英文老师的朋友的帮助!
