名詞性從句
i really expect she didn’t say that to him.
我希望她不對他說那件事。
i think and hope that he won’t be deceived by the man.
我認為他希望他不會被那個人欺騙。
3) 在think, believe, suppose, expect, fancy, imagine, consider, expect, guess, reckon等此類動詞后,在簡略回答中,用so替代前面肯定的賓語從句;若替代一個否定的賓語從句,用not或not…so替代前文整個句子。
---i believe we’ve met somewhere before.(我認為我們從前在哪里見過)
---no, i don’t think so.(沒有,我想我們以前沒有見過)
----do you think it’s going to rain over the weekend?(你認為這周末會下雨嗎?)
----i believe not.(我認為不會)
4) 將seem, appear 等后的從句的否定轉移到前面。
it doesn't seem that they know where to go.
看來他們不知道往哪去。
it doesn't appear that we'll have a sunny day tomorrow.
看來我們明天不會碰上好天氣。
5) 有時將動名詞,介詞短語或整個從句的否定轉變為對謂語動詞的否定。
i don't remember having ever seen such a man.
我記得從未見過這樣一個人。 (not否定動名詞短語 having…)
it's not a place where anyone would expect to see strange
characters on the street.
在這里,人們不會想到在街上會碰上陌生的人。
(anyone 作主語,從句中的謂語動詞不能用否定形式。)
6) 有時狀語或狀語從句中否定可以轉移到謂語動詞前。
the ant is not gathering this for itself alone. (否定狀語) 螞蟻不只是為自己采食。
he was not ready to believe something just because aristotle said so.
(否定because狀語) 他并不因亞里斯多德說過如何如何,就輕信此事。
she had not been married many weeks when that man's younger brother saw her and was struck by her beauty.
(否定狀語many weeks)
她結婚還不到幾個月,這個人的弟弟就看見她了,并對她的美貌著了迷。
6、賓語從句還可以用在某些形容詞的后面,如:sure, glad, certain, sorry, afraid, worried, anxious, aware, confident, convinced, proud, surprised, thankful, ashamed, disappointed, annoyed, pleased, hurt, satisfied, content …
i am sure that he will come here tomorrow.
the teacher was pleased that his students had passed the exam.
特別提示:
be sure/ certain…表示“確信或肯定……”后邊從句的連詞用that,但 be not sure/ certain后邊從句的連詞用 if或 whether。
are you certain that you’ll get there o time?
i’m not sure if/whether his work has been finished?
7、 有些句子連詞較多,應分清各自的功能
it is well known that what, when and how a person eats causes changes in the body. (that為 it is well known that這一結構的連詞,what, when and how為主語從句的連詞)
tom was soon told why what had done was not necessary.
(why是賓語從句的連詞,而what是why從句中的連詞)
