问题: 一道高二难题<3>
--Would you be able to go to the party ?
--______.
A. I don't expect B. I'm afraid not
C. I don't think so D. I believe not
B和D有什么不同,区别在哪里? 选哪个?
解答:
Would you be able to go to the party ?
--____B__.
A. I don't expect B. I'm afraid not
C. I don't think so D. I believe not
B :I'm afraid not恐怕不能去,是口语习惯用法
这里,“D. I believe not ” 等于“I don't think so.”
这里译为:“我并不这么认为。” 显然所问非所答。
A. I don't expect ,我不希望,回答过于强烈不是很礼貌
所以I'm afraid not更委婉,更口语化
