三、連詞that的省略問題

引導賓語從句的連詞that 通常可以省略：

She said (that) she would come to the meeting. 她說過要來開會的。

I promise you (that) I will be there. 我答應你我會去。

I hoped (that) I would / should succeed. 我曾希望我會成功。

He thinks (that) they will give him a visa. 他想他們會給他簽證。

He thought (that) they would give him 3 visa. 他本想他們會給他簽證。

I expect (that) the plane will he diverted. 我料想飛機會改變航線。

I expected (that) the plane would be diverted. 我本料想飛機會改變航線。

Everybody knows (that) money doesn't grow on trees. 眾所周知，金錢是不會從樹上長出來的。

I suggested (that) they should / shouldn't drive along the coast. 我建議他們沿著 / 不要沿著海岸開車。

【注】有時為了強調，that引導的賓語從句可位于句首，此時that不可省略：

That she is a good girl I know. 她是一個好姑娘，我是知道的。

四、賓語從句與否定轉移

當動詞think, believe, suppose, expect, imagine 后接一個表示否定意義的賓語從句時，其否定通常轉移到主語：

I don't suppose that it is true. 我認為那不是真的。

I don't imagine that he will come. 我想他不會來的。

I don't think we need waste much time on it. 我想我們不必在這上面花太多時間

We didn't think we'd be this late. 我們沒想到我們會到得這么晚。

I don't suppose I'll trouble you again. 我想我不要再麻煩你了。
