关于 I don’t hope so的补充
■本站特约作者侯波
在“英语语法网”看到李翔老师的《I don’t hope so 是正确的吗》一文(见www.lulutubu.com/Article/201108/2530.html),文中对I don’t hope so 的正确性问题进行了正反两方面的探讨,其中有的词书认为该表达是正确的,也有的词书认为该表达是不正确的。
本人在《纽约时报》(The New York Times)的搜索框中输入“I don’t hope so”,找到了以下三个实例(其中的I don’t hope so 为笔者加粗显示):
例1 ...the word communist and what it means in Cuba is impossible to describe in a letter, you ought to live here--I don't hope so--to understand me better. ...(December 3, 1980)
例2 "I won't say I don't hope so too," he replied. "But if it's not, it's not. Today has been great, but I've got to take everything in stride. ...(June 16, 1998 - By Samuel Abt)
例3 ... the final to some steal in Barça´s creation and run with CR7 and Ronnie, or some free-kick or corner, I don't think so, or well, I don't hope so, ...(May 22, 2009 ? Goal)
这种用法的表达确实不多,但还是可以找到几个的,算是对李翔老师文章的一个补充。
