I believe this is a possible (and, in fact, more common) translation of the phrase, but I'm not sure this course would accept it.
Many languages used and use double negatives, for the sake of emphasis, including Greek, Latin, and... English. You might find double negatives not only among simpletons in rural England or USA, but in Shakespeare.
So far I can tell you, double negatives fell in disgrace by the Victorian age and, up to now, came to be considered wrong.
