USAGE:

(1.) В отличие от русского существительного надежда (мн. ч. надежды), английское hope чаще употребляеся в единственном числе. В соответствующих словосочетаниях оно используется без артикля: to lose (to give up) all hope - потерять все надежды/всякую надежду. (2.) Русское словосочетание "надеяться (надежда) что-либо сделать" передается предложной конструкцией (to have) hope of doing smth (3.) See habit, n
II [həʊp]
надеяться

I hope so. — Думаю, что так.

I hope not. — Думаю, что нет. /Думаю, что это не произойдет.

She hopes to see them soon. — Она надеется на скорую встречу с ними.

We hope that you are comfortable. — Надеемся, тебе удобно.

- hope to do smth
- hope that...
- hope for smth
- hope for the better

- hope fervently

USAGE:

(1.) В отличие от других глаголов суждения, таких, как to think, to believe, с глаголом to hope в отрицательных предложениях отрицание употребляется с глаголом придаточного, а не главного предложения: I hope she doesno't find it out. Cp. I don't think, she'll find it out. Надеюсь, она это не узнает. В кратких ответах с глаголом to hope в этом значении употребляются наречия not (для отрицания) и so (для утверждения): I hope so. Думаю, что так. I hope not. Думаю, что нет. /Думаю, что это не произойдет. (2.) Русское словосочетание "надеяться что-либо сделать" в значении "думать, ожидать, что что-либо будет сделано" соответствует в английском языке глаголу to expect: We didn't expect to get the answer so quickly. Мы не надеялись/не думали/не рассчитывали получить ответ так быстро. I expect to see him tomorrow. Я рассчитываю/надеюсь увидеть его завтра. (3.) See believe, v (4.) See so, adv; USAGE (1.).

English-Norwegian dictionary > head
18 hope

I n надежда: а hope of smth, of doing smth — надежда на что-либо, сделать что-либо (1). В отличие от русского существительного надежда (мн. ч. надежды), английское hope чаще употребляется в единственном числе. В соответствующих словосочетаниях оно используется без артикля:
to lose (to give up) all hope — потерять все надежды, всякую надежду.
(2). Русское словосочетание надеяться (надежда) что-либо сделать передается предложной конструкцией (to have) hope of doing smth. (3). See habit, n. II v надеяться: to hope to do smth — надеяться что-либо сделать; to hope that… — надеяться, что … ; to hope for smth — надеяться на что-либо (1). В отличие от других глаголов суждения, таких, как to think, to believe, с глаголом to hope в отрицательных предложениях отрицание употребляется с глаголом придаточного, а не главного предложения:
I hope she doesn't find it out.
Ср.
I don't think, she'll find it out — Надеюсь, она это не узнает.
В кратких ответах с глаголом hope в этом значении употребляется наречие not (для отрицания) и so (для утверждения):
I hope so — Думаю, что так;

I hope not — Думаю, что нет/что это не произойдет.
(2). Русское словосочетание надеяться что-либо сделать в значении думать, ожидать, что что-либо будет сделано соответствует в английском языке глаголу to expect:
We didn't expect to get the answer so quickly — Мы не надеялись (не думали, не рассчитывали) получить ответ так быстро.

I expect to see him tomorrow — Я рассчитываю (надеюсь) увидеть его завтра.
(3). See believe, v. (4). See so, adv.
