Note that when you are using the verb
suppose with a 'that'-clause in order to state a negative opinion or belief, you normally make
suppose negative, rather than the verb in the 'that'-clause. For instance, it is more usual to say
'I don't suppose he ever saw it' than 'I suppose he didn't ever see it'. The same pattern applies to other verbs with a similar meaning, such as
believe,
consider, and
think.
注重,使用动词 suppose 加 that 从句表达否定的意见或看法时,通常否定 suppose 而非 that 从句中的动词。例如,通常说 I don't suppose he ever saw it(我认为他从没见过),而不说 I suppose he didn't ever saw it。同样的句型也适用于其他含义相近的动词,如 believe, consider 和 think。
