doubt与suspect的用法比较
一 . 如果后面接名词、代词或名词性词组时,两者基本上可通用。例如:
I doubt/suspect the truth of her statement. 我对她那番话的真实性表示怀疑。
He says he can cure me, but I still doubt/suspect him. 他说他能治好我的病,但我仍对他不放心。
二 . 如果后面接 that 从句,意思就截然不同。 doubt 意为“无把握;不相信( question the truth of; don't believe/think )”,怀疑其无。 suspect 意为“有存在或属实的想法;相信( have an idea of the existence; believe; guess )”,怀疑其有。例如:
I doubt that he has stolen my watch. 我不相信他偷了我的手表。
I suspect that he has stolen my watch. 我怀疑 / 猜想他偷了我的手表。
The doctor suspected that he was ill with flu. 医生怀疑 / 认为他得了流感。
这时 doubt 更多用于否定句或疑问句中。如:
I don't doubt that he is right. 我确信他是对的。
I didn't doubt that he would come. 我当时相信他会来的。
Why did she doubt that they were cheats? 她为什么怀疑他们是骗子?
三 . doubt 用于肯定句中时,多接 whether/if 引导的从句,意义与 that 从句不同,这时意为“不敢肯定( feel uncertain about )”。而 suspect 不可接这种从句。例如:
