用法辨析

    v. (动词)

  • doubt的基本意思是对事〔物〕的真实性等表示“怀疑”或“不信任”,有时甚至在调查研究之后仍“难以确定”。也常用来表示对宗教信条等持有疑虑。
  • doubt多用作及物动词,可接名词、代词、动名词、带疑问词的动词不定式或that/wh-/if从句作宾语,也可接以“(to be+) n./adj. ”充当补足语的复合宾语。接that从句作宾语时, that前有时可加but。doubt偶尔也用作不及物动词,常与介词of连用表示“对…抱怀疑或悲观的态度”。
  • 在疑问句或否定句中, doubt的宾语从句应用that引导; 在肯定句中,则应由if〔whether〕引导。
  • doubt是表示思想状态的动词,指思维活动的结果,通常不用于进行体。

    • n. (名词)

  • doubt用作名词的基本意思是“怀疑,疑虑”,还可表示“未确定”。可用作可数名词,也可用作不可数名词。
  • doubt后可接介词about〔of, on〕引起的短语表示“对…怀疑”。
  • doubt后可接that或if〔whether〕引导的同位语从句。that从句一般用于否定句或疑问句中; if〔whether〕从句一般用于肯定句中。
  • in doubt的意思是“存在疑问”; no doubt的意思是“很可能”; without doubt的意思是“毫无疑问”。这几个短语在句中既可用作状语,也可用作定语或表语。
