    6. Note that when you are using the verb believe with that-clause in order to state a negative opinion or belief, you normally make believe negative, rather than the verb. For instance, it is more usual to say 'He didn't believe she could do it...' than 'He believed she couldn't do it'. The same applies to other verbs with a similar meaning, such as consider, suppose, and think. I don't consider that you kept your promise... I don't suppose he ever saw it... I don't think he saw me.
    注意，当 believe 和 that 从句连用陈述否定的观点或看法时，通常对 believe 而不是从句中的动词加以否定。例如，通常说 He didn't believe she could do it（他认为她做不到），而很少说 He believed she couldn't do it。同样的句型结构也适用于 consider, suppose 和 think 等意思相近的动词：I don't consider that you kept your promise（我认为你没有遵守诺言），I don't suppose he ever saw it（我想他从没见过它），I don't think he saw me（我认为他没有看到我）。

  6. VERB （表示惊奇）难以置信
    Believe is used in expressions such as I can't believe how or it's hard to believe that in order to express surprise, for example because something bad has happened or something very difficult has been achieved.
    1. Many officers I spoke to found it hard to believe what was happening around them...
      很多和我谈过的官员都觉得发生在他们周围的事情令人难以置信。
    2. I was a physical and emotional wreck — I still can't believe how I ever got any work done.
      我那时身心俱疲——现在还难以相信我是怎么把一些事情做成的。
  7. PHRASE （表示对所见所闻惊讶不已）相信自己的眼睛/耳朵
    If you say that you cannot believe your eyes or cannot believe your ears, you are emphasizing that you are very surprised about something you have seen or heard.
    1. I could not believe my eyes. She was far more beautiful than I had imagined.
