doubt 与 suspect 的用法比较 |
doubt 与 suspect 作动词用 , 都有“怀疑”的意思,但实际上它们的用法还是有区别的。下面我们就来比较一下: 一 . 如果后面接名词、代词或名词性词组时,两者基本上可通用。例如: I doubt/suspect the truth of her statement. 我对她那番话的真实性表示怀疑。 He says he can cure me, but I still doubt/suspect him. 他说他能治好我的病,但我仍对他不放心。 二 . 如果后面接 that 从句,意思就截然不同。 doubt 意为“无把握;不相信( question the truth of; don't believe/think )”,怀疑其无。 suspect 意为“有存在或属实的想法;相信( have an idea of the existence; believe; guess )”,怀疑其有。例如: I doubt that he has stolen my watch. 我不相信他偷了我的手表。 I suspect that he has stolen my watch. 我怀疑 / 猜想他偷了我的手表。 The doctor suspected that he was ill with flu. 医生怀疑 / 认为他得了流感。 这时 doubt 更多用于否定句或疑问句中。如: I don't doubt that he is right. 我确信他是对的。 I didn't doubt that he would come. 我当时相信他会来的。 Why did she doubt that they were cheats? 她为什么怀疑他们是骗子? 三 . doubt 用于肯定句中时,多接 whether/if 引导的从句,意义与 that 从句不同,这时意为“不敢肯定( feel uncertain about )”。而 suspect 不可接这种从句。例如: I doubt whether/if he'll come. 我不敢肯定他来不来。 It's raining hard. I doubt whether it will be fine tomorrow. 雨下得很大,我不敢说明天会晴。 四 . 其他搭配。 doubt 可作不及物动词,用于 doubt of sth; suspect 用于 suspect sth to be, suspect sb of(doing) sth .例如: She never doubted of his success. 她从不怀疑他的成功。 I suspected him to be the spy. 我认为他就是那个间谋。 What made you suspect her of having taken the money? 你凭什么怀疑钱是她偷的? |
