I decide not to do... 与 I don't decide to do... 意思不同:前者否定不式,后者否定谓语动词。比较:
I decide not to marry her. 我决定不娶她。
I don't decide to do marry her. 我还没决定和她结婚。
至于like,道理也一样。虽然我们通常是说 don’t like to do,很少见到 like not to do 的用例,但 would not like to do与would like not to do却是常见的。请看《柯林斯英语语法大全》给出的两组比较句和相关说明:
I would not like to be a student. 意思是:他不是学生,也不想做学生。
I would like not to be a student. 意思是:他是学生,但不想做学生。
