1704794709 Who do you think is the best player?
1704794710
1704794711 为什么不说 the best player is?
1704794712
1704794713 【解答】照原则上说,是应该把 is 放在 the best player 的后面才对,不过常因声调、文义、轻重等关系,而有变化,即不依照普通的字序,要颠倒来说的时候,也习见不鲜。
1704794714
1704794715 在前一则中我们已说明了在 Who is he?一问中插入 do you think,而成为 Who do you think he is?的道理,那是因为重点移到 do you think 的上面去,he 和 is 在分量上就轻了,所以变成普通平叙句的字序了。
1704794716
1704794717 但有时为着主语太长,或是为着要加强主语起见,便把它移到句尾去,例如质问中的:
1704794718
1704794719 Who do you think is the best player?(你觉得打得最好的是谁?)以及:
1704794720
1704794721 What do you think is the population of Hong Kong?(你以为香港有多少人口?)
1704794722
1704794723 如果我们依照普通说法,把 is 放在 the best player 和 the population of Hong Kong 的后面时,那既不能加强 player 和 population 的说法,而且句子的声调也就差多了。
1704794724
1704794725 由于同样的理由,在间接说法中也仍然要保留直接说法的字序,如:
1704794726
1704794727 She said to me,“ What is the matter with him?”一句改成直接说法时,照规则是要把问句改成平叙句,即 What the matter with him is.但因主语太长,就不得不保留原来的形式,而说成:
1704794728
1704794729 She asked me what was the matter with him.(她问我他有何困难。)
1704794730
1704794731 感叹句也并不老是照平叙句一样先说主语后说动词的,有时因种种关系也可以改变字序,照问句一样把动词放在主语前去,例如:
1704794732
1704794733 What a poor fool was I!(我做了一件多么愚笨的事呀!)
1704794734
1704794735 How persuasive are his words!—— Sheridan(他的话多么动听呀!)
1704794736
1704794737 How often have I played under these trees as a boy!—— Irving(我在儿童时代老是在这些树下玩耍的!)
1704794738
1704794739 What a piece of work is man!—— Shakespears(人是多么巧妙的作品呀!)
1704794740
1704794741 至于说 How bright are its waters, playing over the stones!(在石头上流动的水波,多么的光耀!)就是为要避免把修饰语的 playing,说成动词的 are playing 的关系而将字序颠倒的。

1704794747 英文疑难详解 156.I don’t think 的句型
1704794748
1704794749 “我想他不会来。”译成英文为 I think he will not come.但据说英文的惯用语法,应说成 I don’t think he will come.才对。不知照中文直译的句子是否错误?
1704794750
1704794751 【解答】普通确实是要以 I don’t think he will come,来代替 I think he will not come.这似乎不及中国话的合逻辑,不过,英文已成惯用, I don’t think…早构成一种句型,不容推翻的了。在英美名作家的笔下,我们也常发现有把否定放在 think 之后的,但似乎都有其特殊的理由。例如:
1704794752
1704794753 I wish you were here, then I think I should not feel like this.—— D. H. Lawrence
1704794754
1704794755 I should have thought sometimes you couldn’t help thinking of the past.—— Maugham
1704794756
1704794757 I think you ought not to walk at night alone, Mrs. Moore.—— E. M. Forster
