| 释义 | think The verb think is used in several different ways. Its past tense and past participle is thought, not 'thinked'. You can use think with a 'that'-clause when you are giving your opinion about something or mentioning a decision that you have made. I think you should go. I thought I'd wait. When you use think like this, you do not use a continuous tense. You do not say, for example, 'I am thinking you should go'. Instead of saying that you think something is not the case, you usually say that you don't think it is the case. I don't think they really represent the people. I don't think there is any doubt about that. ◊ 'I think so' If someone asks you whether something is the case, you can express your opinion that it is probably the case by saying 'I think so'. You do not say 'I think it'. 'Do you think my mother will be all right?' ---'I think so.' 'Will she get social security?' ---'I think so.' If you want to reply that something is probably not the case, you usually say 'I don't think so'. You can also say 'I think not', but this is rather formal. 'I have another friend, Barbara Robson. Do you know her?' ---'I don't think so.' 'Are you going to be sick?' ---'I don't think so.' 'She doesn't want a real investigation, does she?' ---'I think not.' ◊ using a continuous tense When someone is thinking, they are considering something. When you use think with this meaning, you often use a continuous tense. I'll fix us both a gin-and-tonic while I'm thinking. You have been thinking, haven't you? You also use a continuous tense when you are talking about what is in someone's mind at a particular time. That's what I was thinking. It's very difficult to determine what the other people are thinking. You can say that someone is thinking about something or someone, or is thinking of something or someone. I spent hours in the warmth of the bathtub thinking about China. She was thinking of her husband. If you are considering doing something, you can say that you are thinking of doing it. Who is she thinking of marrying? That's why I was thinking of getting out. You do not say that you 'are thinking to do' something. |
