Language points
I don’t think there will be less land.
否定转移（Negation Shift）
主句为“I don’t think”，但否定词“not”实际否定的是宾语从句“there will be less land”。这种将否定从主句转移到宾语从句的现象称为“否定转移”。
规则：当主句谓语动词为“think”“believe”“suppose”“expect”等表示“认为”“相信”“猜想”“期待”的动词时，若否定这些动词，通常需将否定转移至宾语从句。
例句对比：
错误表达：I think there will not be less land.（不符合英语习惯）
正确表达：I don’t think there will be less land.（更自然）
语义逻辑：
否定转移后，句子实际表达的是“我认为土地不会减少”，而非字面意义的“我不认为”。
Language points

Language points

表示“继续做某事”，强调动作的持续性，通常用于描述中断后重新开始或持续进行的动作。
