I imagine that you are tired. 我猜想你已经累了。
3. 在英语中,含suppose的句子是用否定主句谓语的方式来否定后面宾语从句的内容的(即把宾语从句的否定词 not转移到否定主句谓语动词上来),这种语言现象叫做转移否定,在这种用法中,suppose意为“想,认为,猜想,料想”;宾语从句是由that引导的宾语从句,也是由否定词 not构成的否定,主句主语多为第一人称。如: I don’t suppose I’ll trouble you. 我想我不会再麻烦你。
I don’t suppose(that)I shall be back until eight o’clock. 我看我在8点前回不来。 I didn’t suppose (that) it was true. 我猜想那不是真的。
4. suppose后也可接so代替整个宾语从句,但如果宾语从句为否定句时,只能转移否定,不能用not否定so,当然也可用否定词 not代替整个宾语从句。如: -Will he come? -他会来吗?
-Yes, I suppose so. / No, I suppose not. / No, I don’t suppose so. -我想他会来。/不,我想他不会来。/不,我认为他不会来。 正:I don’t suppose so. /I suppose not. 我认为不是这样。 误:I suppose not so.
二、suppose作“假定,设想”讲,有时表示自己有一定根据的猜想,有时仅表述自己的意见。如:
Let’s suppose that we had not helped him, what would happen? 假定我们当时没有帮助他,他会怎样呢? Suppose it rained, we would still go. 假如下雨的话,我们还是要去。
三、构成祈使句,表达一项提议或建议,作“让、怎么 ,如何”讲,从句中用过去式,语气更委婉。如:
Suppose you meet me at the office at half past seven. 你7:30与我在办公室见面如何。 Suppose (=Let’s go) for a swim. 我提议我们去游泳。
Suppose we went for a walk! 我们去散会儿步吧!
四、用于被动语态,作“应该、被认为,理应,应该”讲。如:
You are supposed to be here at nine. 你应该在9点钟到达这里。
Everyone is supposed to know the rules. 大家理应知道这些规则。
At the moment he is supposed to be in Paris. 人们认为他目前在巴黎。
五、口语中,用于被动语态的否定句,作“许可”讲。如:
You are not supposed to smoke on the bus. 你不能在公共汽车上抽烟。
We are not supposed to play football on Sundays. 我们在星期天不许踢足球。 He’s not supposed to do that. 你不应该做那件事。
六、suppose的过去分词或过去式也可做形容词,意为“被信以为真的,假定的,推测的”。如:
The supposed beggar is really a police officer in disguise. 大家都认为是乞丐的那个人原来是一个乔装的警察。
七、suppose的现在分词也可做连词,相当于if。如: Supposing it rains, what will you do? 如果下雨你怎么办呢?
