I had thought he wouldn’t come to the meeting.
had thought有一种“我本以为”的含义。否定词宜否定从句,不宜转移至主句。
I often think you are not fit for that job.
I do think you shouldn’t do that.
总结起来就是,当句子为疑问句或think以thought, was/were thinking出现在句中,或有副词强调助动词do修饰时,think不能否定转移。
I do think he isn’t a doctor. 我确实认为他不是医生。
I really think you can’t answer the question. 我真以为你不能回答那个问题。
