由I think(believe,suppose等)引导宾语从句时,如果从句是否定形式,则要将not提前,称否定转移。我的问题是如果主句的主语不是第一人称,那么还要否定转移吗?因为我在一些书上看到的是不一样的。如:He thought we couldn't work out that difficult problem. Mrs. White doesn't believe that her son is able to design digital camera.请给予具体说明,谢谢

否定转移
否定的转移是指英语否定句在句中某一部分(常在谓语部分),但在语义上却是否定另一部分的现象。翻译这类句子时不要单纯依赖语法分析,而应从语义上分析,根据上下文理解句意。例:
He doesn’tteach because teaching is easy for him. 他之所以教书,并不是因为他觉得教书轻松。
一、否定形式在表示“看法”的谓语动词上,语义上却是否定后面的宾语从句。
此类动词有:think, believe, suppose, imagine, expect, anticipate, fancy, consider,find (感到), guess,
be supposed to, calculate, figure, reckon。
- I don't believe I've met you before. ("I believe I haven’t metyoubefore.") 我认为我没有见过你。
- I don't think you will be late. 我认为你不会迟到。
- I don't suppose he cares, does he? 我看他不在乎,对吧?
- He doesn't expect we need worry. 他认为我们不必着急。
- I don’t recon she is old enough to go toschool. 我认为她还没到上学的年纪。
注:上述判断性动词出现以下情况时,其否定不发生转移:
(1)用作插入语时:
-Li Lei, I think, won’t be angry with you. 我想李蕾不会生你的气。
-Tom, I suppose, won’t be against it. 我猜想汤姆不会反对。
(2)这些动词跟其他另一个动词一起做并列谓语时:
- Ibelieve and hope he won’t do that. 我相信并且也希望他将不会那样做。
(3)用于疑问句时:
-Do you think it is not going to rain? 你认为天不会下雨吗?
(4)主句中添加情态动词can't, mustn't, wouldn't时:
- You mustn’tthink he’s stupid. 你不应该认为他愚蠢。
- I wouldn'thave imagined that you would be here. 我不曾想到你会在这儿。
- I can’t imagine how he could survive that car accident. 我想象不出在那次车祸中他是怎样活命的。
(5)think , expect 作料想讲时:
- I didn’t expect I’d meet you here. 我没料到会在这里碰上你。
- We didn’t think he is such a selfish man. 我们没料到他是这样一个自私的人。
(6)suppose , think 用于祈使句式或被副词修饰时:
- Don’t suppose you have passed the exam, this is only a partof the exam.
别以为你通过了考试,这仅仅是考试的一部分。
- I simply don’t think you will give me a hand when I’m indifficulty.
我根本不指望你在我困难的时候能帮助我。
- Ireally don’t think it’s necessary for us to go there now. 我的确不认为我们有必要去那儿。
- Ifeel strongly that he shouldn’t do such a thing. 我强烈地认为他不应该做那样的事。
(7)上述动词所接的宾语从句中如有all , every, many , both 等表全体意义的词或副词时:
- I don’t believe both of them are innocent. 我不相信他们两个都是清白的。
- I never expect all the students will do the exercises afterclasses.
我从不抱希望于所有学生都会在课外做作业。
- We don’t consider everybody in our class is interested inthis topic.
我们并不认为班里的每个人都对这个话题感兴趣。
(8)由于cannot help, ought not, need not, not at all等短语的关系而把I think 隔离:
- I shouldhave thought sometimes you couldn’t helpthinking of the past. 我应该想到你会禁不住想起过去。
- I think youought not to walk at night alone,Mr.. Moore.
- I think youneed not be impolite to her,as well as to her son.
- "Ithink the angel are not at all inheaven." Mr.Esmond said."
二、否定形式在表示“感觉”的谓语动词上,语义上却否定表语部分。
此类动词有:appear, seem, feel, sound, taste, smell, as if,feel / look / sound as if, feel /look like。

- It doesn’t appear that we’ll have a sunny day tomorrow. 看来我们明天不会碰上好天气。
三、seem, prove, happen 与不定式构成复合谓语,形式上否定谓语,语义上否定不定式。
- The president didn’t happen to attend that meeting. (happen not to attend … )
董事长碰巧没参加那次会议。
- Your answer doesn’t seem to be right. (seem not to be …) 你的答案看起来似乎不正确。
- Jack doens't seem to like you.(=Jack seems not to like you.)杰克看来不喜欢你。
- The news didn't seem to be true. 这个消息好象并不是真的。
四、pretend , remember 的宾语为非谓语动词时,形式上否定谓语,语义上否定宾语。
- My Italian friend didn’t pretend to see her tutor inthe dining room. (pretend not tosee … )
我的意大利朋友在餐厅里假装没看见她导师。

七、形式上否定谓语,语义上否定状语或状语从句。

- He didn't take the boy from the tracks to safety to win his own fame.but to benefit the boy's parents.
他把男孩从铁轨上抱到安全地带,不是为了获得个人的名誉,而是为了孩子的父母。
注:含有not … because (of) 的句子,情况较复杂,需根据逻辑、语境和常识进行判断是否需要作否定转移,如需转移的话,往往是由否定谓语转为否定状语。例如:
- I don’t teach because teaching is easy for me. 我教书并不是因为我觉得教书轻松。
- The engine didn’t stop because the fuel was used up. 发动机并不是因为油用完而停车的。

- She didn’t call you because she loved you. 这个句子可能出现两种理解:
A. 她给你打电话并非因为她爱你。(发生了否定转移)
B. 她没给你打电话是因为她爱你。(未发生否定转移)
到底哪种理解正确,我们无法从逻辑意义上进行辨别,这时我们只有借助语境即上下文来分析了。
八、表示信念、看法、愿望的名词充当主语从句的表语时,形式上否定谓语,语义上否定主语从句。这类词有:hope, thought, view, opinion , wish, expectation, belief, plan等。

- I don’t know all of them. (notall of them) 对于他们我不是个个都认识的。
- I don’t like both of them. (notboth of them.) 这两本小说,我不是都喜欢。
注:当all 与can not 或 won’t 构成否定句式时,其否定不再发生转移,而表示全部否定。
- All the foreigners can not pass the borders without visas. 所有外国人没有签证均不能过境。
- All the treatment won’t make any help for her disease. 所有的治疗对他的疾病都无用。
十、"否定主句+肯定式方式从句" 中,主句和从句意思正好相反。例:
- Whales are not fish, as many people think. 鲸不是鱼,而许多人却认为鲸是鱼。
十一、主语是否定特征时,翻译应根据具体情况确定。否定可以转移,也可以不转移。例:
- Nobody who has ever seen good-quality color television can ever becompletely happy with black and white again. 看过高质量彩色电视的人再也不可能对黑白电视感到满足了。
否定的转移是指英语否定句在句中某一部分(常在谓语部分),但在语义上却是否定另一部分的现象。翻译这类句子时不要单纯依赖语法分析,而应从语义上分析,根据上下文理解句意。例:
He doesn’tteach because teaching is easy for him. 他之所以教书,并不是因为他觉得教书轻松。

英语否定转移的几种情况及实例英语句中的否定转移,是中文与英文在否定表达形式上的一种差异。下面来看一句典型的句子: 英语:I don't think // I know you.中文:我想 // 我并不认识你。 比较一下上面两句子的结构,它们的区别非常明显:英语:(否定) // (肯定)中文:(肯定) // (否定) 根据中文句子来说,“不认识”在后半部分的宾语从句里,而英语却是在前半部分的主句里用了否定“我不认为”。这就是说,在英语句子里,把后半部分的否定移到了主句里,即所谓的“否定转移”。 换句话说,英语中,虽然否定在前面,但否定的却是后面部分的内容。我们在理解英语句子的时候,要注意这一点的区别。 英语句子中,在下列情况下通常要用到否定转移,即否定形式要放在前面的主句里。 1、在主句动词是 think, believe, suppose, expect, fancy, imagine 等的时候.。 I don't think I know you. 我想我并不认识你。 I don' t believe he will come.我相信他不回来。 注意:如果主句动词是hope, 则宾语从句中的否定词不能转移。 I hope you weren't ill.我想你没有生病吧。 2、主句动词是seem, appear 等。 It doesn't seem that they know where to go.看来他们不知道往哪去。 It doesn't appear that we'll have a sunny day tomorrow.看来我们明天不会碰上好天气。 3、主句否定的是后面的动名词、介词短语。 I don't remember having ever seen such a man.我记得从未见过这样一个人。 (not否定动名词短语 having…) It's not a place where anyone would expect to see strange characters on the street.在这里,人们不会想到在街上会碰上陌生的人。(anyone 作主语,从句中的谓语动词不能用否定形式。) 4、主句否定的是后面的状语或状语从句。 The ant is not gathering this for itself alone. 蚂蚁采食不只是为自己。(否定状语) He was not ready to believe something just because Aristotle said so.他并不因亚里斯多德说过如何如何,就轻信此事。(否定because状语) She had not been married many weeks when that man's younger brother saw her and was struck by her beauty. 她结婚还不到几个月,这个人的弟弟就看见她了,并对她的美貌着了迷。 (否定状语many weeks)

这个不是固定的模式;所谓的否定转移;不仅是把not等否定词提前;只是表达上的方式不同;
打个比方:I think you are not right 与:I don't think you are right;这两个表述都没错的;只是习惯用后者较多;这就是你所说的否定前移;而当主语不是第一人称的时候;也是同样的道理拉!例如:He thought we couldn't work out that difficult problem.与He didn't think (that)we could work out that difficult problem.是一个意思;而后者就是否定前移句子;只是此句子用的不太习惯,觉得别扭;但是表达还是可以的拉!
关于人称的不同造成否定前移也就是习惯用法的约束;额,说完了。
呵呵,不知道说了你懂没?个人见解!

否定转移,只是在翻译上要把否定翻译在后面从句里,不是非要把not 提前吧,如你举得两个例句,只是两种表达方法,在翻译上要注意而已啊。

by 虽然可以译为 通过,其实译为 以。。。方式 更加合适,这个才是by的本意
这句句子中,by本意就是 通过 ,只是在中文里翻不同,进行适当修改调整了而已;但是仅仅从英语角度来看,解释为 通过,用....方式 合情合理
还有,这里没有否定转移,语法中没有否定转移的概念,造成你这个问题的可能是因为 这句句子是 非真实条件句 ,是虚拟语气,与现在相反
这句句子提出的假设是未发生的,所以否定词not 放在后面;你把not移到前面去意思就变了。这句句子的条件句提出的假设与事实相反,所以not只能放在主句部分;not如果放在条件句部分,句子的整个意思都完全变了
