也可以稱(chēng)為否定轉(zhuǎn)移.
例如,我認(rèn)為你不對(duì).按我們的思維的話,是
I think you are not right.
但是英語(yǔ)不那么說(shuō),而是把否定已到了前面 I don't think you are right.
這就是否定轉(zhuǎn)移.
否定轉(zhuǎn)移 1) 將think,believe,suppose,expect,fancy,imagine等動(dòng)詞后面賓語(yǔ)從句的否定詞轉(zhuǎn)移到主句中,即主句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用否定式,而從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用肯定式.
I don't think I know you.我想我并不認(rèn)識(shí)你.
I don' t believe he will come.我相信他不回來(lái).
注意：若謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞為hope,賓語(yǔ)從句中的否定詞不能轉(zhuǎn)移.
I hope you weren't ill.我想你沒(méi)有生病吧.
2) 將seem,appear 等后的從句的否定轉(zhuǎn)移到前面.
It doesn't seem that they know where to go.
看來(lái)他們不知道往哪去.
It doesn't appear that we'll have a sunny day tomorrow.
看來(lái)我們明天不會(huì)碰上好天氣.
3) 有時(shí)將動(dòng)名詞,介詞短語(yǔ)或整個(gè)從句的否定轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)閷?duì)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的否定.
I don't remember having ever seen such a man.
我記得從未見(jiàn)過(guò)這樣一個(gè)人.(not否定動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ) having…)
It's not a place where anyone would expect to see strange characters on the street.
在這里,人們不會(huì)想到在街上會(huì)碰上陌生的人.
(anyone 作主語(yǔ),從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞不能用否定形式.)
4) 有時(shí)狀語(yǔ)或狀語(yǔ)從句中否定可以轉(zhuǎn)移到謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞前.
The ant is not gathering this for itself alone.(否定狀語(yǔ)) 螞蟻不只是為自己采食.
