“我差点没赶上火车。”所以到底赶上了没有？

“我差点没赶上火车” (I almost didn't catch the train). Did the speaker catch it?

A火车晚点了没开

huǒ chē wǎn diǎn le méi kāi · the train was delayed and never left

朱批：火车的锅不能这么背。

B没赶上

méi gǎn shàng · missed it

朱批：「差点没赶上」表示惊险地赶上了。少一个「没」才是真没赶上。

C赶上了下一班

gǎn shàng le xià yì bān · caught the next one

朱批：题里没提下一班，别给自己加戏。

✓赶上了

gǎn shàng le · he made it

“差点没赶上”＝赶上了；“差点赶上”＝没赶上。逻辑？不存在的，这里只讲语感。

差点没 + desirable outcome = the outcome HAPPENED (barely). “差点没赶上” = caught it by a hair. Meanwhile “差点赶上” = missed it. Chinese negation math: broken by design.
