在表达自己的观点时,加上 should 可以使语气更客气、更有礼貌。

网友的句子也可以不用should,句子意思不变,只是语气不同。

除了 should think 外,should 的这种用法也可连用其他动词。如:

I should think that you would be above doing anything like that. 我认为你不会做出这样的事。

I should regard that as entirely unjust. 我认为那是完全不公正的。

I should emphasize that these numbers are only estimates. 我想强调这些数字只是估计而已。

注:除 should 外,would 也有类似用法,但不如 should 普通:

I would guess that she's in her early seventies. 我猜她刚70岁出头。

I would suggest that you see your doctor about this. 我建议你找医生看看这个情况。
