(1)若后接名词、代词或名词性词组, 两者基本上可通用, 表示一种否定的语义, 意为“不相信”。
I doubt/suspect the truth of her statement.
我对她那番话的真实性表示怀疑。
(2)若后接that从句, doubt表示一种否定的语义, 意为“无把握; 不相信”; suspect表示一种肯定的语义, 意为“相信; 猜想; 觉得”。
I doubt that he is ill.
我不相信他病了。/我怀疑他没有生病。
I suspect that he is ill.
我猜想他病了。/我怀疑他病了。
这时doubt更多用于否定句或疑问句中。
I don’t doubt that he is right. 我确信他是对的。
(3)doubt用于肯定句中时, 多接whether/if引导的从句, 意为“不敢肯定”。而suspect不可接这种从句。
I doubt whether/if he’ll come.
我不敢肯定他来不来。
(4)其他搭配。
suspect sb. to be相信/猜想某人是
suspect sb. of(doing)sth. 怀疑(某人有罪)
