用法辨析

    v. (动词)

  • believe的基本意思是“相信”,指相信事物的真实性或相信某人说的话,引申可作“信赖”或“信仰”解。
  • 在口语里, believe还可作“想”“认为”解,表示和缓的、不太肯定的口气,相当于suppose,有时则仅仅表示客气,不愿说得太绝对。
  • believe用作及物动词时,后面可跟名词、代词或that/wh-从句作宾语,也可接以that从句(表示将来)充当直接宾语的双宾语; 还可接以“(to be+) n./adj. ”或动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语(表示过去或现在)。用作不及物动词时,后面常跟介词in。
  • believe是状态动词，通常不用于进行时态。
  • 在回答前面的问句时, believe须接so或not替代问句中肯定或否定的宾语。
  • believe作思维活动的动词,常可用于转移否定句型,即句中的否定虽然出现在主句的主语动词之前,但否定的却是从句中的谓语、宾语或其他成分。
  • believe的过去分词believed在句中常可用作表语,其后接动词不定式或that从句,意思为“据信…”,用于新闻报道中,以避免提及说话人。
  • believe 等动词后面的复合宾语的第一部分如果不是名词或代词,而是从句、动词不定式短语或动名词短语,通常要用it来代替,把从句或短语放到句子后部去。
