核心句型：
Nothing of the sort!
没那回事！
Nothing of the sort!同Nothing of the kind!一样，都表示：“没有那种事，没那回事”。因此，当美国人说"nothing of the sort!"时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"That kind of thing doesn't exist!"、"There's absolutely no such thing!"、"I didn't do such things at all!"。
情景对白：
Boss: Why didn't you choose the usual one? Did this logistic company give you any rebates 2?
老板：为什么不选经常合作的那家，这家物流公司给你回扣了吗？
Benjamin: No. Nothing of the sort! It's just because they offered a better price.
本杰明：没啊，没那回事，只是因为这家公司出价更低。
