2010年12月大学英语四级考试写作提高笔记(11)

　　61. 英语的一个习惯用法是：当否定谓语think(believe)时，实际上是否定其后面的宾语从句。否定就落在宾语从句上。这样宾语从句就变成了双重否定，译时可以按双重否定译，也可按肯定来译。

　　He had not the good breeding to see that simplicity and naturalness are the truest marks of distinction.

　　63. "It occurred to sb. that…"意为"突然想到"，"It dawned on sb.that…"."突然想起"等。 从句是想起的内容。
