think,believe宾语从句的用法

一、否定转移

当think, believe, suppose, imagine, expect等动词后接的宾语从句为含有not 的否定句时,该否定应移至主句,即否定主句的谓语动词。例如:

I don't think it will rain tomorrow.

We don't expect our football team will win the World Cup.

但hope后接的宾语从句的否定不需要转移。例如:

I hope you weren't ill. (Unit 15 READING)

需要特别说明的是:

涉及到转移的只是not,not以外的其它否定词,如no, never, hardly,few, little, seldom等,不必转移。例如:

I believe my brother has never been late for school.

We can imagine birds can hardly live without these woods.

二、反意疑问句的构成视情况不同有两种

think,believe,suppose,imagine,expect等动词后接宾语从句构成的主从复合句在构成反意疑问句时,视情况不同有两种不同的构成方式。

1.当主句的主语为第一人称时,其后的简短问句应与从句相一致。例如:

I expect our English teacher will be back this weekend, won't she/he?

We suppose you have finished the project, haven't you?

值得注意的是,当这些动词后接的宾语从句的否定转移到主句时,其仍属否定句,故其后的简短问句应用肯定式,而非否定式。例如:

I don't believe that he can translate this book, can he?

We don't imagine the twins have arrived, have they?

此类句子的回答同"前否后肯"型反意疑问句一样,如上述后一个句子,若双胞胎已经到了,则回答为"Yes, they have.";若尚未到达,使用"No, they

haven't."。

2.当主句的主语为第二、三人称时,其后的简短问句则应与主句相一致。例如:

Your sister supposes she needs no help, doesn't she?

They don't believe she's an engineer, do they?

三、简略回答用so或not

口语中,可以用so或not替代这些动词之后的肯定或否定的宾语从句,以避免重复。

例如:

2. -Is my car ready?

-I believe not. (I don't believe so.)

这里的not = it is not ready;so = it is ready。

-I expect so/not.

需要说明的是,在think,imagine,believe三词的否定答语中,用

don'tthink/imagine/believe so比用not更为常见。hope则只能使用not,不能使用don't hope so。

例如:

4. -Will it rain the day after tomorrow?

-I hope so. / I hope not. (不能说:

I don't hope so.)
