二、句型剖析
1.否定前置
【典型例句】
We don't think there's anything interesting in your pictures.
我们认为你的画并没有什么有趣的地方。
I don't believe what he said is true.
我认为他说的不是真话。
I don't suppose they will object to my suggestion.
我料想他们不会反对我的建议。
I didn't imagine that she would go abroad.
我料想她不会出国了。
【知识小结】
英语中有些动词如:think,believe,expect,imagine suppose等,当它们后面接一个具有否定意义的宾语从句时,通常把主句的动词变为否定式,而宾语从句的谓语动词用肯定形式,这种现象称为否定前置。

注意:(1)这种句式的反意疑问句:若陈述部分是第一人称,反意疑问句部分需与从句中的主语和谓语保持一致,否则要与主句的主语和谓语保持一致。
I don't think it's going to rain tomorrow,is it?
You don't think I have made mistakes,do you?
(2)特殊疑问词+do you think/believe/suppose...(插入语)+疑问句的其他部分(陈述语序)
What do you suppose happened to him?
你猜想他出了什么事?
What do you think I have bought for you?
你猜我为你买了什么?
