第八節(jié).反意疑問句
1. 反意疑問句的形式
反意疑問句一般有以下四種形式:
肯定陳述句+否定反意疑問。例如:
This pencil is red,isn't it?
否定陳述句+肯定反意疑問。例如:
This pencil isn't red,is it?
肯定陳述句+肯定反意疑問。例如:
This pencil is red,is it?
否定陳述句+否定反意疑問。例如:
This pencil isn't red,isn't it?
前兩種形式是主要的,后兩種不常見。
2. 反意疑問句的用法
1)當(dāng)陳述部分是therebe句型時,反意疑問部分的主語用there。例如:
There aren't a lot of flowers in the garden in winter,arethere?
There existed different opinions on this issue,didn'tthere?
2)當(dāng)陳述部分是以不定代詞one作主語時,反意疑問部分的主語在正式場合用one,在非正式場合用you。例如:
One cannot succeed at this,can one?
One cannot succeed at this,can you?
3)當(dāng)陳述部分是I'm…結(jié)構(gòu)時,反意疑問部分一般用aren'tI。例如:
I am a student,aren't I?
4)當(dāng)陳述部分是一個帶有that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)時,反意疑問部分一般根據(jù)主句的主語和謂語動詞而定。例如:
You told me (that) I had passed the exam,didn't you?
He says that everybody in our class will attend themeeting,doesn't he?
但是,當(dāng)陳述部分的主句是I think,I suppose,Ibelieve等結(jié)構(gòu)時,反意疑問部分則往往由that從句中的主語和謂語動詞決定,并且要注意否定的轉(zhuǎn)移。
例如:
I believe (that) it is going to rain,isn'tit?
I don't think (that) he will come,will he?
5)當(dāng)陳述部分的謂語動詞是have時,反意疑問部分要根據(jù)have的意義及形式而定。
a.當(dāng)have表示“所有”含義時,反意疑問可以用have形式,也可以用do形式。例如:
He has a book in his hand,hasn't he?
He has a book in his hand,doesn't he?
b.當(dāng)陳述部分的動詞是have的否定形式時,反意疑問部分是用have形式還是用do形式,取決于陳述部分的動詞形式。例如:
You haven't a car,have you?
You don't have any money with you,do you?
c.當(dāng)have不表示“所有”含義而表示其他含義時,反意疑問句則必須用do的形式。例如:
We had a good time in the vacation,didn't we?
He has his breakfast at seven everyday,doesn't he?
You have to get up early tomorrow,don't you?
6)當(dāng)陳述部分帶有never,nothing,nowhere,seldom,hardly,rarely,few,little等否定詞或半否定詞時,反意疑問部分的動詞用肯定形式。例如:
The summit meeting never took place,did it?
You can hardly believe what he said,can you?
There is little ink in the bottle,is there?
Few people know this place,do they?
7)當(dāng)陳述部分的謂語動詞是帶有un-,in-,im-,dis-等否定前綴的動詞,則仍然把陳述部分看作肯定句,那么反意疑問部分用否定形式。例如:
He is impolite to the teacher,isn't he?
He distrusted anybody around him,didn't he?
8)當(dāng)陳述部分帶有情態(tài)動詞oughtto時,反意疑問部分在英式英語中用oughtto形式,在美式英語中用should形式。例如:
You ought to see the new picture,shouldn't you?
Teachers ought to be honoured,oughtn't they?
9)當(dāng)陳述部分帶有情態(tài)動詞usedto時,反意疑問部分可以用used to形式,也可以用did形式。例如:
She used to live abroad,usedn't she?
There used to be a news stand in the corner of the street,didn'tthere?
當(dāng)陳述部分帶有情態(tài)動詞must時,反意疑問部分需視must的含義而定。
a.當(dāng)must表示“命令或強制”時,反意疑問部分用mustn't。例如:
You must do it by yourself,mustn't you?
b.當(dāng)must表示“有必要”時,反意疑問部分用needn't。例如:
You must see him tonight,needn't you?
c.當(dāng)must表示“一定”或“想必”等推測意義時,反意疑問部分不用mustn't,而要根據(jù)must后的動詞形式而定。例如:
He must be crazy to do so,isn't he?
She must have been there for a long time,hasn't she?
They must have stayed at home last night,didn't they?
10)當(dāng)陳述部分帶有need時,反意疑問部分需視need的含義而定。如果need用作情態(tài)動詞,則反意疑問部分用need形式;如果need用作實義動詞,表示“需要”,則反意疑問部分用do形式。例如:
You needn't go there,need you?
She needs to go there,doesn't she?
Plants need sun to grow,don't they?
11)當(dāng)陳述部分帶有I'd better或I'drather時,反意疑問部分用hadn't或wouldn't。例如 :
You'd better finish the task before tomorrow,hadn't you?
He'd rather stay with us,wouldn't he?
12)當(dāng)陳述部分是祈使句時,反意疑問部分一般用willyou,won't you,would you。例如:
Don't be too late,will you?
Close the door,won't you?
Come here,will you?
Open your books,would you?
13)陳述部分是以Let's開頭的祈使句時,反意疑問部分用shall we;若是以Letus開頭的祈使句,反意疑問部分則用will you。例如:
Let's have a party tonight,shall we?
Let us have a look at your pictures,will you?
注意, 如果祈使句是否定形式,那么反意疑問句只能用willyou。例如:
Don't forget to bring your notebooks here tomorrow,willyou?
