12.宾语从句的替代

在hope,believe,imagine,suppose,guess,think,tell,say,fear,expect以及be afraid等词语后,可用so代表一个宾语从句(代指上文涉及的事),这种替代往往用在对话中。(参见省略与替代)

—We'll have fine weather tomorrow.—I hope so.

——明天天气晴朗。——我希望如此。

—Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are lovely cartoon characters.—I think so.

——米老鼠和唐老鸭是可爱的动画片人物。——我想是这样。

若接否定形式的宾语从句,可用两种替代形式:believe,think,suppose,expect等上述动词变为否定句,宾语从句用so或not替代。

It was a wonderful movie,but my wife doesn't think so.(=but my wife thinks not.)

那部电影好极了,但我的妻子不这么认为。

Will it rain?I suppose not.

会下雨吗?我想不会的。

Was he afraid?I don't think so.(人教大纲版高二上第76页)

=Was he afraid?I think not.

他那时害怕吗?我想他不害怕。

提示:

hope,guess,fear,be afraid的否定形式只能用not。

—Will he come back soon?

——他很快会回来吗?

—I'm afraid not.

——恐怕不会。
