转移否定

转移否定，即句中的否定虽然出现在谓语部分，否定范围却不在主句谓语动词本身，而转移到了句子中的宾语、状语或其他成分上。

这种形式在比较常见的有以下两种情况：

1. 转移否定多用于表思维活动如：believe(相信), expect(期望), hope(希望), imagine(想象), think(认为)等。

例如：I don t think he will pass the exam.我认为他考试会不及格的。

2. 主句的谓语动词是表感觉的系动词，通常也用于转移否定句这类动词有：seem(好像), feel(感觉), appear(出现), look like(看起来像)等。

例如：

It doesn t look like it s going to rain.=It looks like it isn t going to rain. 好象不会下雨。

No matter how hard he studies, he never seems to be able to pass the exam. 不管他多么努力的学习，他似乎永远也考不及格。
