一 suppose 的用法
I suppose everyone has something they don’t like about themselves. 我认为每个人身上都有自己不喜欢的地方。（教材P5）
suppose 作动词，意为“想，认为”，其后可接动词不定式或 that 从句。suppose 的常见短语：be supposed to do sth 应该做某事，其否定形式为 be not supposed to do sth。如：
I suppose him to be about fifty. 我认为他大概50岁。
I suppose that they will leave tomorrow. 我认为他们明天会离开。
We are supposed to arrive there at six. 我们应该6点到那里。
You are not supposed to smoke here. 你不应该在这里吸烟。
