我觉得没有这么简单，可能我的英语有限没有展开问题。到底是下面哪种意思？
NOT。。。 because 有两种可以理解，
1）因为我不知道它（你知道这点），所以你告诉我关于它，
你告诉我是对的，但你不应该是因为我不知道它，所以你才告诉我。
2）你不知道我是否知道它，但是你却自己决定：告诉它给我；你不应该告诉我
它（你告诉我，我不喜欢）。为什么我不喜欢你告诉我呢？因为我不懂它。
隐含的意思：我不懂的事情，你别告诉我，告诉我，我就不喜欢。

你在绕口令啊？哈哈哈。。。
okay, your original question,
"you should NOT have told me this because i didn't know it"
doesn't quite make sence. if you don't know "it", and someone is trying to
explain to you, why wouldn't you want to know it? unless of course you
already knew about it.
-you didn't have to tell me this because i already knew it.
or are you trying to say:
-i don't care what you have to say, i just don't want to know it.

there are some scenarios where it would make sense. for example, i don't
want to be told the ending of a movie because i want to find it out myself.

GOOG, let me try to explain it so that you can at least understand what i am
thinking.
the sentence would only make sense with your option number2.
however, you got all that from the entire sentence. you didn't get all that
just from "NOT...because".
check out this sentence:
You should NOT have told me this because I knew it.
it can be understood very easily with the normal straight-forward thinking.
it has "NOT...because", and yet it does not have that over-analyzed twisted
meaning that you wer

: You should NOT have told me this because I didn't know it.
: which word does the first 'NOT' modify, should have told, or because?
