1.What's your problem?
what's your problem ? 相当于

2.I think…
I think的意思是我认为…,非常简单,看到think,这里我们特别关注think的否定转移:
think的否定转移:
当主语是第一人称(I, we),think表示“看法”,其后接宾语从句时,若宾语从句要表示否定意义,在形式上应该否定前面的主语。
如:1.I don't think you've met my daughter . 我想你大概没有见过我的女儿吧。
注意:下列情况不出现否定转移:
1.当有情态助动词与think连用。如:I can't think what you mean.
2.当think 前有副词修饰时。如:I really think the job isn't fit for you at all .
3.在think 后所接的宾语从句中,如有no,nothing,never等否定词时。如:I think Jenny is never be here.
3.ever since
ever since是自从的意思。
eg:He's been here ever since Monday. 他从星期一起就在这里。
