用法
(1)Doubt and doubtful may be followed by clauses introduced by that, whether, or if. The choice among these three is partly guided by the intended meaning of the sentencebut is not cast in stone. Whether normally introduces an indirect question and is therefore the traditional choice when the subject is in a state of genuine uncertainty about alternative possibilities:
Doubt 和 doubtful 後面可以跟由 that，whether， 或 if 引導的從句。 三者之間選哪一個部分地由句子要表達的意義決定的，但其用法並不是固定不變的。Whether 一般引導一個間接問句，所以當主語所代表的人確實不知如何選擇判斷時，傳統上就用該詞：
Sue has studied so much philosophy this year
今年蘇鑽研哲學下了不少功夫，
(2)that she's begun to doubt whether she exists.
現在她都開始懷疑自己是否存在了。
At one time it was doubtful whether the company could recover from its financial difficulties, but the government loan seems to have helped.
曾經有一段時間，公司能否從困境中恢復元氣令人生疑，不過政府的貸款似乎起了作用。
(3)On the other hand, that is the choice when doubt is being used as an understated way of expressing disbelief:
而當doubt 用來低調表示「不相信，不信任」之意的時候，則用 that 。
I doubt that we've seen the last of that problem (with the meaning 「I think we haven't seen the last . . . 」).
我不相信我們完全解決了那個 問題 （意即：我認為我們沒解決那個問題）。
(4)That is also the usual choice when the truth of the clause following doubt is assumed, as in negative sentences and questions. Thus I never doubted for a minute that I would be rescued implies 「I was certain that I would be rescued.」 By the same token, Do you doubt that you will be paid? seems to pose a rhetorical question (「Surely you believe that you will be paid」), whereas Do you doubt whether you will be paid? may express a genuine request for information and might be followed by because if you do, you should make the client post a bond. In other cases, however, this distinction between whether and that is not always observed, and that is frequently used as a substitute for whether. If may also be used as a substitute for whether but is more informal in tone. · In informal speech the clause following doubt is sometimes introduced with but: I don't doubt but (or but what ) he will come. Reputable precedent exists for this construction, as in 「I do not doubt but England is at present as polite a Nation as any in the World」 (Richard Steele), but modern critics sometimes object to its use in formal writing.See Usage Note at but, if
在否定句及疑問句中當doubt 後的從句所作陳述被認為是真時，用 that 。 所以我從不懷疑我會被救起 意思就是「我確信我會得救」。 同樣你懷疑人家會賴帳嗎？ 似乎就成了一個反問句（「你當然相信人家不會賴帳了」）， 而你懷疑人家是否付款嗎？ 就表示一個真誠的詢問， 可能接下來會說因為如果你懷疑的話，你就該讓顧客付保證金 。 在其它情況下，whether 和 that 的區別並不很明顯， 而且that 經常用來替代 whether。 If 也經常用來代替whether ， 但是語氣不很正式。在非正式語氣中doubt 後面的從句有時由 but引導：I don't doubt but （或 but what ) he will come。 這種結構有其先例且屬規範用法，如「我不懷疑目前的英格蘭象世界上其他國家一樣是禮義之邦」 （理查德·斯蒂爾），但現代評論家有時反對在正式文體中這樣使用參見 but， if
