回答这一类问题时,回答人暗示他并不确实知道,只是凭印象而言。 I should/would think 表示的语气没有I think那么肯定。
8 ~4 Y" ~' o$ b" x should/would think引导一个附加评论时,一般不能用so/ not。这时必须使用that从句:
) p1 \' \8 R+ x& @6 M$ d- N —He’s an astrologer, looking for work.0 d" g& b, O+ h! Q: k
—I shouldn’t/wouldn’t think that he’d find it easy to get work.7 C0 \$ z+ q: f- H) w7 L
—他是一个星相家,正在找工作。
: A; v+ X# t$ D+ f, }) y9 @ —我想他大概不会感到找到一份工作是容易的。' ]. r5 P8 ]7 s/ ?+ z; P! K
如果评论发生在过去的动作,可以用should/would have thought:7 d0 ^, R- V( X8 |1 F7 o9 ?
—He actually got a job as an astrologer.

—我本来认为那是不可能的。: \' Q1 Z5 s6 y
should/would have expected+不定式结构/that从句也是可行的。有时非人称代词you可代替I:- }2 U/ e7 r& v% o0 P n
