Question

nay adv.<古>否；不n.拒绝；反对；投反对票conj.不但如此；而且 (1) 那是困难的，不，简直是不可能的。(2) 我相信你不会拒绝我的。(3) 计有4 981 076票赞成，一票反对。(4) 除了四名民主党党员外，全部投票否决(5) 我们不但愿意，而且很想去。 If your teacher holds a vote on whether to have a pizza party instead of a geometry quiz, it's unlikely anyone will vote nay. Long ago, the word nay was simply used as a substitute for "no," but it sounds odd today: "Nay, I don't need any ketchup with my fries." You can use it, however, to mean "this word is more appropriate," as when you say, "I'm upset, nay furious, that you forgot my birthday."
