词组 | transferred negation |
释义 | transferred negation2 【问】(A) I don't think he has come. (B) I think he has not come. 我认为动词think是可否定转移的动词,因此,应把否定词not放在主句中(I don'tthink)。据我看,句(B)是错句。 【答】 句(B)也是正确的。但用得较少,句(B)的否定意义大大强于句(A)。因此,当需要强调从句的否定意义时,就可采用这种句式: 1. I suppose you don't ever write to him. 我想你从来也不给他写信。 2. I believe I haven't met you before. (CGEL) 我认为我从前没有见过你。 3. She imagined we wouldn't say anything. (CGEL) 她设想我们不会说什么的。 4. I think it isn't a good idea. 我认为那不是一个好主意。 5. I thought he was not happy. (GCE) 我认为他并不幸福。 赵振才 编著.英语常见问题解答大词典.哈尔滨:黑龙江人民出版社.1998.第1220页. |
