suppose的用法總結
以下是小編爲大家整理的Suppose的用法總結,希望能幫助大家更好地掌握suppose這個單詞,提高英語水平。
一、Suppose做及物動詞,意爲“想,認爲,猜想,料想”,用法如下:
ose後接that引導的賓語從句,that可以省略,如:
I suppose we’ll go there next week.
我猜想我們下週將去那兒。
ose +名詞/代詞+[ (to be)+表語]賓語補足語,如:
What makes you suppose him to be connected with them?
你怎麼會認爲他與他們有聯繫呢?
ose+名詞/代詞+不定式,如:
I supposed her to have already left for home.
我認爲她已經動身回家了。
4. suppose+名詞/代詞+名詞(賓語補足語),如:
I never supposed him a hero.
我從來沒有認爲他是一個英雄。
ose+名詞/代詞+形容詞 (賓語補足語),如:
We all suppose him clever.
我們所有的人都認爲他很聰明。
6. suppose+名詞 /代詞+介詞短語,如:
I supposed him in the office.
我想他在辦公室。
7. suppose做插入語,如:
You don’t mind my smoking, I suppose.
我想你不會介意我抽菸。
使用suppose時應注意:
1. I suppose可以用來有禮貌地要求一個肯定的答覆,如:
I suppose (that) you are very busy just at the moment?
我想你這會兒正忙吧?
2. suppose, guess與imagine的區別:
suppose多用於口語,是試探性的,但有一定的根據;guess隨意性很強,缺乏依據;imagine指“設想”、“想象”與衆所周知的事實相反的東西,強調虛構和幻想。如:
I suppose they will leave here tomorrow.
我猜他們明天要離開這兒了。
Can you guess what I mean?
你能猜出我的意思嗎?
I imagine that you are tired.
我猜想你已經累了。
3. 在英語中,含suppose的句子是用否定主句謂語的方式來否定後面賓語從句的內容的(即把賓語從句的否定詞 not轉移到否定主句謂語動詞上來),這種語言現象叫做轉移否定,在這種用法中,suppose意爲“想,認爲,猜想,料想”;賓語從句是由that引導的賓語從句,也是由否定詞 not構成的否定,主句主語多爲第一人稱。如:
I don’t suppose I’ll trouble you.
我想我不會再麻煩你。
I don’t suppose(that)I shall be back until eight o’clock.
我看我在8點前回不來。
I didn’t suppose (that) it was true.
我猜想那不是真的。
4. suppose後也可接so代替整個賓語從句,但如果賓語從句爲否定句時,只能轉移否定,不能用not否定so,當然也可用否定詞 not代替整個賓語從句。如:
-Will he come?
-他會來嗎?
-Yes, I suppose so. / No, I suppose not. / No, I don’t suppose so.
-我想他會來。/不,我想他不會來。/不,我認爲他不會來。
正:I don’t suppose so. /I suppose not.
我認爲不是這樣。
誤:I suppose not so.
二、suppose作“假定,設想”講,有時表示自己有一定根據的猜想,有時僅表述自己的意見。如:
Let’s suppose that we had not helped him, what would happen?
假定我們當時沒有幫助他,他會怎樣呢?
Suppose it rained, we would still go.
假如下雨的話,我們還是要去。
三、構成祈使句,表達一項提議或建議,作“讓、怎麼 ,如何”講,從句中用過去式,語氣更委婉。如:
Suppose you meet me at the office at half past seven.
你7:30與我在辦公室見面如何。
Suppose (=Let’s go) for a swim.
我提議我們去游泳。
Suppose we went for a walk!
我們去散會兒步吧!
四、用於被動語態,作“應該、被認爲,理應,應該”講。如:
You are supposed to be here at nine.
你應該在9點鐘到達這裏。
Everyone is supposed to know the rules.
大家理應知道這些規則。
At the moment he is supposed to be in Paris.
人們認爲他目前在巴黎。
五、口語中,用於被動語態的否定句,作“許可”講。如:
You are not supposed to smoke on the bus.
你不能在公共汽車上抽菸。
We are not supposed to play football on Sundays.
我們在星期天不許踢足球。
He’s not supposed to do that.
你不應該做那件事。
六、suppose的過去分詞或過去式也可做形容詞,意爲“被信以爲真的,假定的,推測的”。如:
The supposed beggar is really a police officer in disguise.
大家都認爲是乞丐的那個人原來是一個喬裝的警察。
七、suppose的現在分詞也可做連詞,相當於if。如:
Supposing it rains, what will you do?
如果下雨你怎麼辦呢?
