東西方的語言文化是有差異的.
Don't you like coffee? 這個問題的應答, 與 Do you like coffee? 的應答完全相同, 都是: Yes, I do. / Yes, I like coffee. No, I don't. / No, I don't like coffee. 英文中沒有"Yes, I don't"的結構.

Glotynn, what if the question is "Do you not like coffee?" Then I think the answer of "Yes, I don't" would fit.

Apex, are you sure? In my understanding, "Do you not like coffee?" is just the same as "Don't you like coffee?" and the answers to them make no difference. Please correct me again if I am wrong. I'm not sure if AE and BE usages would disagree with each other.

Glotynn, I guess my question of "Do you not like coffee?" is with emphasis on the word "not". Then the answer of "yes" implies the person with the question is right in saying I don't like coffee.
Anyway, I'm no grammar expect like yourself, so I'm probably wrong...hehe

Don't you like coffe?
你不喜歡咖啡嗎? That's means Yes,I do.不,我喜歡 No,I do not.是的,我不喜歡 這種時候Yes&No會變成另外一種意義^^
