63.hope(1)vt.&vi. =expect and desire意为“希望;盼望;期待”。例如:I hope to see you as soon as possible.我希望能尽快见到你。I hope that you are well.我希望你快点好起来。
(2)n.=the feeling of expectation or trust,意思是“希望;信心”。例如:I gave up hope of going to college when I failed my exam.当我考试不及格时,我丧失了上大学的希望。
hope在表示“想,希望”时,后面可以跟不定式或介词for连用,也可接宾语从句,但不能跟不定式的复合结构。例如:
Let's hope for the best.让我们尽量往好处想。
注意以下句子的正误:
I hope you to come.(误)
I hope that you will come.(正)
hope后接的从句在简短的答语中,可用替代词so或not,而不可用wish。例如:
A:Do you think it will be fine tomorrow?你认为明天天气会好吗?
B:I hope so.我希望是。(I hope not.我想不是。)
在日常交往中,如果表示不希望某事发生,应该说:I hope not.而不说I don't hope so.
