Нет уверенности, как надо написать – «не одного» или «ни одного»? Это – не самый сложный грамматический вопрос. Достаточно понять один главный принцип.

Как правильно?
В русском языке допускается и первый вариант написания, и второй.
Выбор частицы «не» или «ни» зависит только от смысла выражения. Теперь подробнее об этом.
Когда пишем «не одного»?
Другая причина для этого – противопоставление или дополнительные поясняющие слова.
Примеры предложений
Рассмотрим образцы использования такого речевого оборота:
- Очевидно, что сегодня вечером меня оставят не одного.
- Поймите, это же не одного поля ягоды, это – чуть ли не противоположности.
- На встрече выпускников его все увидели не одного, а с красавицей-женой.
- Ну что же, это – дело не одного дня и даже месяца, придётся изрядно потрудиться.
Смотрите. В первом предложении есть констатация, во втором и четвёртом – пояснительные слова, в третьем – противопоставление. Все эти случаи предусматривают написание слова «один» с частицей «не».
Когда пишем «ни одного»?
Примеры предложений
Ещё раз воспользуемся наглядными примерами:
- Я не видел в этих людях ни одного потенциального соратника.
- Он не дал ни одного верного ответа из 12 возможных.
- Не существует ни одного варианта, который сейчас может гарантировать нам стопроцентную уверенность.
В каждом из этих предложений сказано об отсутствии, по меньшей мере, одного соратника, ответа и т.д. Это – аргумент в пользу написания частицы «ни».
Ошибочное написание
Большое заблуждение и признак малограмотности – путать два варианта написания. Запомните, вот так писать не нужно:
- У меня нет не одного варианта решения этой задачи.
- Ни одного его постигла такая участь.
Надо наоборот: «ни» – в первом примере, «не» – во втором.
Разумеется, слитное («ниодного») или дефисное («не-одного») написание – ещё более серьёзные нарушения языковых норм.
Резюмируем
«Не одного» и «ни одного» – два одинаково возможных варианта написания.
Эти фигуры речи говорят совсем о разном. Когда имеется в виду «больше, чем одного», следует применять частицу «не». Если же выражение означает «нет хотя бы одного», его нужно писать через «ни». Слитное и дефисное написание этих словосочетаний не допускаются.

NO DOGS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS EPISODE. THE CAT GOT SICK AND SOMEBODY SHOT A DUCK BUT THAT’S ABOUT IT. |

«No animals were harmed» is a standard message displayed at the end of movies, and in Hollywood movies is awarded by the American Humane Association. It means exactly what it says.
In the early days of Hollywood, safety procedures were pretty lax, even when concerning actors. It would be a bit of a bore to find someone who looked enough like your leading lady at short notice. But unless you need your Wild West hero to do some show jumping, there are a dozen bargain-bin nags which you could afford to risk damaging with trip-wires. It was very common for animals to get injured, and no great loss to anyone if they did.
Well trained animals were an exception, incidentally, often getting better treatment than the human actors. Also incidentally, «no human beings were harmed in the making of this film» is a phrase you will never see outside of this sentence. [1] They applied of their own free will, they should’ve known what they were getting into.
After a while, sensitivities changed, safety improved and it became worth letting people know that the animals you used did not end up getting shot and used to make glue, so the «No animals were harmed» disclaimer is seen in most major works that use animals.
In particular, according to The Other Wiki, a scene in the 1939 film Jesse James, wherein a blindfolded horse was ridden off a cliff to its death, is the direct cause of the founding of the American Humane Association (the trademark holder on the phrase «no animals were harmed»), and the «No animals were harmed» language dates directly to the controversy over that movie.
In a more recent example, in the first Friday the 13 th, a scene where a camper cuts off the head of a snake is real; the owner and handler of the harmless bull snake was not told and reportedly had to be held back by several crew members upon witnessing the scene.
More recently, parodies of the message have become a common Credits Gag, often citing some other group who were not harmed, or making specific exceptions to the rule. It’s also common to state that while the animals may not have been killed, they did receive some minor injuries, or to stress that while no animals were killed or injured, humans on the other hand…
Compare No Celebrities Were Harmed, No Communities Were Harmed, Our Lawyers Advised This Trope, and No OSHA Compliance.
Examples of No Animals Were Harmed include:
Anime and Manga
- Samurai Pizza Cats had the disclaimer «No animals were harmed in the marking of this cartoon» in its closing credits.
- Episode 7 of Excel Saga had the disclaimer «No Puchuus were killed or injured in the production of this film. Well, okay, maybe we roughed a few of them up a bit. And we did cook and eat two of them, but that was after we finished filming. Does that count?»
- In Maken-ki!, a bear shows up at a pool, forcing the students to deal with it. They use their magical abilities to catapult it away from them towards a mountain, then immediately draw a big cushion which saves the bear from going splat, and a few scenes later the bear is a bit dizzy but then recovers and walks away.

NO DOGS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS EPISODE. THE CAT GOT SICK AND SOMEBODY SHOT A DUCK BUT THAT’S ABOUT IT. |
|
«No animals were harmed» is a standard message displayed at the end of movies, and in Hollywood movies is awarded by the American Humane Association. It means exactly what it says.
In the early days of Hollywood, safety procedures were pretty lax, even when concerning actors. It would be a bit of a bore to find someone who looked enough like your leading lady at short notice. But unless you need your Wild West hero to do some show jumping, there are a dozen bargain-bin nags which you could afford to risk damaging with trip-wires. It was very common for animals to get injured, and no great loss to anyone if they did.
Well trained animals were an exception, incidentally, often getting better treatment than the human actors. Also incidentally, «no human beings were harmed in the making of this film» is a phrase you will never see outside of this sentence. [1] They applied of their own free will, they should’ve known what they were getting into.
After a while, sensitivities changed, safety improved and it became worth letting people know that the animals you used did not end up getting shot and used to make glue, so the «No animals were harmed» disclaimer is seen in most major works that use animals.
In particular, according to The Other Wiki, a scene in the 1939 film Jesse James, wherein a blindfolded horse was ridden off a cliff to its death, is the direct cause of the founding of the American Humane Association (the trademark holder on the phrase «no animals were harmed»), and the «No animals were harmed» language dates directly to the controversy over that movie.
In a more recent example, in the first Friday the 13 th, a scene where a camper cuts off the head of a snake is real; the owner and handler of the harmless bull snake was not told and reportedly had to be held back by several crew members upon witnessing the scene.
More recently, parodies of the message have become a common Credits Gag, often citing some other group who were not harmed, or making specific exceptions to the rule. It’s also common to state that while the animals may not have been killed, they did receive some minor injuries, or to stress that while no animals were killed or injured, humans on the other hand…

- In Maken-ki!, a bear shows up at a pool, forcing the students to deal with it. They use their magical abilities to catapult it away from them towards a mountain, then immediately draw a big cushion which saves the bear from going splat, and a few scenes later the bear is a bit dizzy but then recovers and walks away.

Как часто в титрах фильмов мы видим строчку: «Ни одно животное не пострадало». Впрочем, часто эта фраза была лишь простой формальностью. А на самом деле искусство требовало жертв и ради удачного кадра режиссеры могли не только причинять боль животным, но и вообще убивать их.

Животные в эпоху раннего Голливуда
Меньше всего прав у братьев наших меньших было в эпоху раннего Голливуда. Так, режиссерам разрешалось проделывать с братьями нашими меньшими любые «фокусы». В эпоху расцвета вестерна больше всех страдали кони. Они падали, прыгали через огонь и ломали ноги. Гарантией неприкосновенности для лошадей могла стать только популярность в кинематографе.
К таким животным, например, относился конь Фриц звезды вестернов Уильяма Харта (William Surrey Hart). Харт по возможности старался беречь своего любимца, который выполнял практически все трюки в картинах с его участием. Но когда по сюжету фильма «Джим Мак-Ки» (Jim McKee) 1924 года конь должен был прыгать со скалы, Уильям Харт попросил реквизиторов сделать манекен животного. В итоге получилось так правдоподобно, что артиста обвинили в излишней жестокости.
С конями вообще в кинематографе обращались очень жестоко. Например, еще в 1930-е годы, чтобы заставить лошадь упасть, использовали специальную проволоку. И после того как этот прием был применен в картине «Атака легкой кавалерии» (The Charge of the Light Brigade) Майкла Кертица (Michael Curtiz), увечья получили 125 лошадей, и 25 из них, к сожалению, погибли. После этого случая исполнитель главной роли в этой картине Эрролл Флинн (Errol Leslie Thomson Flynn) даже подрался с режиссером. Однако не было бы счастья, да несчастье помогло. Когда этот инцидент был обнародован, Конгресс США запретил использование подобных приемов.
На съемках фильма «Джесси Джеймс» (Jesse James) в 1939 году много лошадей погибли или получили жестокие травмы, несовместимые с жизнью. После того как по поручению представителей организации Американской гуманитарной ассоциацией (ASPCA), где еще в 1930 был сформулирован Кодекс Хейса (Motion Pictures Production Code, Hays Code) — этический кодекс производства фильмов в Голливуде — начато расследование этого дела, Американская ассоциация кинокомпаний (АНА) стала внимательно следить за тем, что происходит на съемочных площадках по отношению к животным.

Так, представители организации АНА предписали съемочным группам нанимать дрессировщиков, соблюдать на съемках сухой закон, поскольку некоторые животные на дух не переносят запах алкоголя, и конечно, кормить и поить зверей на съемках водой. А уж о физическом уничтожении животных ради удачного кадра не могло быть и речи.
Как животные страдали на съемках советских фильмов
А что наши кинематографисты? Отличались гуманностью по отношению к братьям нашим меньшим? Как бы не так… Любимый отечественными и западными кинокритиками Андрей Тарковский на съемках фильма «Андрей Рублев» заживо сжег корову. Не он сам, конечно, это сделали другие люди по его поручению. Долгое время создатели кинокартины делали все возможное, чтобы эта жестокая история не стала достоянием общественности. Но, тем не менее, спустя время информация все же просочилась в прессу.
На съемках советской телепередачи «Как это было» ведущий напрямую спросил директора фильма «Андрей Рублев»: «А правда ли то, что у вас на съемках была сожжена корова?» На что спикер ответил, что животное было покрыто плащом, а сверху положили ткань, которую и подожгли. Но сама корова осталась невредимой. На самом деле это, конечно, было неправдой.
Также в фильме «Андрей Рублев» есть кровавая сцена, когда во время штурма Владимира татарин перерезает шею лошади. Так произошло на самом деле.
Ходили слухи, что Тарковский снимал сцены, где лошадей сбрасывали с колокольни, чтобы передать жестокость того времени, но в итоге они не вошли в картину. Видимо, классик кинематографа испугался возможного скандала…
Маргарита Терехова также вспоминала, что на съемках фильма Тарковского «Зеркало» узнала о том, что ей предстоит рубить голову петуху и испытала шок. Увидела, как реквизиторы даже готовят для нее мешок с живыми петухами. К счастью, с помощью хитрости и смекалки удалось уговорить режиссера не совершать этот жестокий поступок. А в кадр вошло только взволнованное лицо героини и громкие петушиные крики на заднем фоне.
Массовая гибель лошадей на съемках советских фильмов
На съемках фильма «Война и мир» Сергея Бондарчука к ногам лошадей привязывали крест-накрест веревки, а когда кони начинали двигаться, то они получали увечья и умирали. Один из участников съемочной группы вспоминал тогда, как они все объелись конины после съемок.
Также в картине есть эпизод, когда с обрыва падает целая конница. Сколько лошадей погибло ради этого, пусть сильного и пронзительного кадра! Режиссер же оправдывал себя только тем, что лошади были взяты со скотобойни и все равно бы отправились на мясо.
На съемках фильма «1612» Владимира Хотиненко погиб конь Гелиополь, выполнявший подсечку. Причем он умирал очень медленно и мучительно.
На съемках фильма «Иди и смотри» Элема Климова из пулемета была расстреляна корова. Причем исполнитель главной роли Алексей Кравченко, который тогда еще был подростком, признавался, что даже не догадывался о том, что патроны были боевыми. Он вспоминал о том, что от пережитого шока животное заревело, встало на дыбы, рухнуло рядом с тем местом, где находился юный Алеша, и захрипело, как человек.
На съемках фильма «Ищи ветра» Владимира Любомудрова лошадям перевязывали ноги, чтобы только заставить их лежать смирно. Это окончилось гибелью животных.
Жестокость продолжается?
Статистика случаев гибели животных продолжала пополняться и за счет голливудского кино. Так, известно, что на съемках фильма «Паттон» (Patton) 1970 было убито два осла, на съемках картины «Апокалипсис сегодня» (Apocalypse Now) 1979— бык. На съемочной площадке фильма «Врата рая» (Heaven’s Gate) 1980 проводились петушиные бои, убивали коров.
Сериал «Фарт» (Luck) 2011 печально известен тем, что на его съемках погибли три лошади. Во время создания фильма «Жизнь Пи» (Life of Pi) 2001 чуть не погиб бенгальский тигр, а на съемках картины «Любовь и прочие неприятности» (Failure to Launch) был случайно раздавлен бурундук.
Конечно, встречаются и положительные случаи. Например, когда снимался фильм «Железная хватка» (True Grit) было специально расчищено русло и подготовлены спасательные шлюпки, и только тогда братья Коэны разрешили лошади переплывать реку.
Хочется верить, что сегодня случаи жестокого обращения с животными на съемочной площадки — это редкое исключение. Никакой, даже самый гениальный кадр, не стоит жизни живого существа. За созданием голливудских фильмов внимательнейшим образом следят организации по защите животных, кроме того, комфортное пребывание и работа животных на съемках картин демонстрируют не только моральные качества режиссеров и продюсеров, но и в прямую влияет на кассовые сборы. Современный зритель не хочет получать удовольствие от чьих-то реальных страданий.

«Не один» или «ни один»: как правильно писать?
Не один и ни один — оба написания существуют в русской грамматике. Их выбор зависит от контекста, от смысла высказывания. Если в предложении содержится отрицание, то используем слово ни один, например: Ни один человек не помнит своего рождения. Частица «ни» усиливает отрицание, выраженное глаголом с частицей «не». Если же в предложении содержится утверждение, то используем слово не один, например: Не один учебник мне понадобится в подготовке к экзамену. В данном контексте слово «не один» равнозначно «много, несколько учебников», а у глагола нет отрицательной частицы «не», что свидетельствует об утвердительном смысле высказывания. автор вопроса выбрал этот ответ лучшим
Тори Торичка 5 лет назад Написание частиц НЕ и НИ зависит от значения, в котором они употребляются в предложении. Судить о написании необходимо по контексту. Он был не один. (значение «несколько»). Ни один человек не сможет помочь вам в этом вопросе. (значение «никто»).
Alexandr Quixote 6 лет назад Правильно: Ни один из предложенных вариантов мне не подошел. (двойное отрицание) Он был там не один. (просто отрицание) Читайте больше книг, не зацикливаетесь на заучивании правил и такие вопросы не будут у Вас возникать.
Purgenoff 6 лет назад Написание зависит от контекста: например, если имеется ввиду человек, пришедший на праздник не в одиночестве, правильно писать «не один» (а с кем-то); если же имеете ввиду перечисление вариантов — тогда правильно писать «ни один», например: «ни один из спартаковцев не дотягивает до уровня сборной»… как-то так…
Смотря какую смысловую нагрузку несет это словосочетание в нашем предложении. Если оно повествует нам о том что «Двое ни один, маху не дадим!» отрицая числительное «один», то пишется с «ни». Ну а коли смысл в уточнении — «Не один из прохожих, не остановился помочь мне», то пишется с «не».
Пчела Жужа 5 лет назад Правильно и «Не один» и «Ни один». Как именно писать, напрямую зависит от значения, нужно видеть всю фразу или всё предложение полностью. В случае, если употребляется в значении много, то пишется не один. В случае, если употребляется в значении никогда, то пишется ни один. Примеры: Ни один человек не пострадал в той страшной аварии. Я был не один в этой длинной очереди.
moreljuba 5 лет назад Написать в русском языке можно и «ни один» и «не один» — вариант написания будет зависеть от смысла. Если в значении «никто», то пишем с «ни». Пример: ни один человек не пришёл в магазин вчера. Если в значении «несколько», то пишем «не». Пример: Не один раз я повтор ла, что нужно приходить вовремя.
Евгеша001 5 лет назад Употребление частиц НЕ и НИ зависит от значения, в котором они употребляются. Так, если данное выражение подразумевает количество больше, чем один, то правильно писать — НЕ ОДИН. Если же данное словосочетание употребляется в значении «никто», то следует писать — НИ ОДИН. Например:
Tata0689 5 лет назад Пишется и так, и так. Все зависит от контекста. К примеру, «не один» пишется, если мы отрицаем. (Он был в квартире НЕ ОДИН, их было четверо). «Ни один» пишется, когда нужно усилить значение фразы, имея притом ввиду «никто»( Ни один из присутствующих не поднял руку.)
ПавелНи более года назад В моём примере, как вижу, применимы обе частицы. Причём, суть сказанного не меняется. Читаем смысл — не только один час, а больше (отрицание одного часа) Либо Читаем смысл — не один, а много часов (подтверждение многих часов)
ПавелНи более года назад Вот такая фраза: «…выезды на объекты, обсуждения не ограничиваются 10-минутным разговором. Повсеместно, это занимает ни один час.» Тут что — отрицание?… подтверждение?… Какую частицу использовать будет правильным?
-Irinka- 5 лет назад Написание «не» или «ни» зависит от смыслового подтекста. Стоит осознать, что «не» — это отрицание, а «ни» — это усиление смысла. Приведём примеры: Поэтому при написании нужно задумываться о смысле предложения, текста. Знаете ответ? |
