核心问题
I suppose not 与 I don't suppose so 所表达的意思是否相同？
词典解答
如同其他可否定转移的动词(think, believe)一样, suppose 也可采用两种否定形式: I suppose not 和 I don't suppose so。但是前一用法非常正式, 故没有后一用法常见。
-
“I suppose you'll be going to the meeting.” “No, I don't suppose so.” (Chambers) “我认为你将去参加会议。”“不，我认为并不是这样。”
-
“Surely her statement can’t be correct?” “No, I suppose not.” (Chambers) “她的论述肯定是不正确的吗?” “是的,我认为是不正确的。”
