think的基本意思是“想,思索”,指使一件事情在頭腦中不斷地浮現(xiàn)或使這件事保持這種浮現(xiàn)的狀態(tài),可以表示“想”的動(dòng)作,也可以表示“想”的狀態(tài)。還可指“以為,認(rèn)為”,指某事在頭腦中形成一個(gè)固定的概念,即“想”的結(jié)果。think還有“想象”“想起”“打算”等意思。作“料想,想象”解時(shí),通常用于否定句,不用于被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu),且常與can〔could〕連用。think在口語(yǔ)中,尤其是美式英語(yǔ)中還可表示“朝…方面想”或“專(zhuān)想(某件事)”。
think可用作及物動(dòng)詞,也可用作不及物動(dòng)詞。用作及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),后接同源名詞、代詞、動(dòng)詞不定式、帶有疑問(wèn)詞的動(dòng)詞不定式或that/wh-從句作賓語(yǔ)。接動(dòng)詞不定式作賓語(yǔ)時(shí),多用于否定句或疑問(wèn)句中。
think作“認(rèn)為”解時(shí),可接復(fù)合賓語(yǔ),其賓語(yǔ)由名詞、動(dòng)名詞、動(dòng)詞不定式或that從句充當(dāng)。充當(dāng)賓語(yǔ)的動(dòng)名詞、動(dòng)詞不定式或that從句常置于賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)之后,而以it作形式賓語(yǔ)置于賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)之前(it現(xiàn)在趨向省去); 其賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)可由“(to be+) n./adj./v -ed”充當(dāng),有時(shí)也可以 v -ing充當(dāng)。
think是表示思維活動(dòng)的動(dòng)詞,常用于轉(zhuǎn)移否定結(jié)構(gòu),即形式上是否定主句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞think,但意思卻是否定從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。
To think that ...意為“沒(méi)想到”“竟然”,Who would have thought ...表示“誰(shuí)會(huì)想到”, wouldn't〔couldn't, shouldn't〕 think of表示“絕不能考慮〔想象〕”,這三個(gè)詞組都表示因事先未料到某事而感到驚訝。
當(dāng)主句是I (don't) think...時(shí),如構(gòu)成反意疑問(wèn)句,則其附加疑問(wèn)句部分須與賓語(yǔ)從句中的主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)一致。
think后不需用非人稱(chēng)代詞it替代前面的整個(gè)句子,而可使用替代詞so或not。
think作“相信,認(rèn)為”解時(shí),既不用于進(jìn)行體,也不用于現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí); 作“考慮”“想念”解時(shí),可用于進(jìn)行體。think的過(guò)去完成時(shí)可用來(lái)表示過(guò)去未曾實(shí)現(xiàn)的意圖、打算或愿望。
think可引出直接引語(yǔ)。可用于被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)。
think常用于轉(zhuǎn)移否定句型,但在以下幾種情況下否定詞仍多出現(xiàn)在從句中。①當(dāng)think的主語(yǔ)是除I或we以外的名詞或代詞時(shí)。例如:She thinks the cap is not beautiful.她認(rèn)為這頂帽子不漂亮。②當(dāng)think前有副詞或起強(qiáng)調(diào)作用的助動(dòng)詞(如do〔does〕)時(shí),或當(dāng)think和另外一個(gè)動(dòng)詞構(gòu)成并列謂語(yǔ)時(shí),或當(dāng)think用在疑問(wèn)句中時(shí)。例如:I sometimes think you are not a good man.有時(shí)我認(rèn)為你不是一個(gè)好人。I do think you shouldn't stay with me.我認(rèn)為你不該和我呆在一起。I think and hope that you're not leaving so early.我認(rèn)為,也希望你不要離開(kāi)得太早。Do you think that I cannot finish the job?你認(rèn)為我不能完成工作嗎?③如果think后的從句中含有no, never, nothing, nobody或含有帶not的固定詞組如can't help, not at all等時(shí)。例如:I think nobody would like to help you.我想,沒(méi)人愿意幫助你。④當(dāng)think用于一般過(guò)去時(shí)、過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)或完成時(shí)態(tài)。例如:I thought you cannot pass the examination.我認(rèn)為你不能通過(guò)考試。I was thinking that you wouldn't stay here.我在想你不會(huì)呆在這兒。I had thought that he wouldn't catch the bus.我認(rèn)為他不會(huì)趕上公共汽車(chē)的。
有時(shí)候not位置的不同會(huì)引起意思的不同。試比較: I think this is not a good book.我認(rèn)為這不是一本好書(shū)。(表示的是本人的意見(jiàn))I don't think this is a good book.我不認(rèn)為這是本好書(shū)。(表示有人說(shuō)它是一本好書(shū),但“我”加以否定)
英美人,尤其是美國(guó)人在回答問(wèn)題或表示某種看法時(shí)很少說(shuō)I think so,而多說(shuō)Probably,I should think so等比較婉轉(zhuǎn)的詞。
think在口語(yǔ)中有時(shí)還可用作名詞,意為“思考”或“考慮”,一般用于單數(shù)形式,可用不定冠詞修飾,常出現(xiàn)在have (got) another think coming短語(yǔ)中,意為“必須修改個(gè)人的意見(jiàn)、計(jì)劃等”或“搞錯(cuò)”。例如:I'll have to have a think about this before I give you an answer.這個(gè)問(wèn)題我得好好想一想才能給你答復(fù)。If he thinks she's going to say “yes” he's got another think coming.如果他認(rèn)為她會(huì)說(shuō)同意的話,那他就錯(cuò)了。If you think I'm going to pay all your bills, you've got another think coming.你要是以為我會(huì)替你付清賬單,你簡(jiǎn)直是異想天開(kāi)。
