文档介绍：反意疑问句
语法知识
定义:
在陈述句之后附加上一个简短问句,对陈述句所叙述的事实提出相反的疑问,这种疑问句叫做反意疑问句。
结构:
如陈述部分为肯定式,疑问部分用否定式。反之,如陈述部分否定式,疑问部分用肯定式。疑问部分重复陈述句的主语(必须用代词)和be , have,助动词或情态动词。如陈述句中没有 be, have,助动词或情态动词,则须另加do。如:
She has gone to town, hasn‘t she?
她进城了,对吗?
You like it, don't you?
你喜欢它,不是吗?
He's an engineer, isn't he?
他是工程师,是不是?
It's a fine day today, isn't it?
今天天气很好,对吧?
在回答前否定(陈述句)+后肯定(简略问句)的反意疑问句时,答语中“yes ”和“no”的翻译恰好与汉语相反,如:
He isn't a pianist, is he?
他不是钢琴家,是吗?
Yes , he is . (No, he isn't.)
不,他是钢琴家。(对,他不是钢琴家。)
反意疑问句的回答
问:He doesn't want to buy it, does he? 他不想买它,对吗?
答:Yes, he does. 不,他想买。
No, he doesn't. 对,他不想买。
(一)特殊情况
(1)陈述部分是I am 时,疑问部分常用“aren't I?”代替更正式的“am I not? ”。如: I'm late, aren't I? 我迟到了,是吗?
(2)如陈述部分是“there be”结构时,疑问部分只需对换there be 的位置即可。如:
There's something wrong with your watch, isn't there? 你的手表有毛病,对吗?
3)陈述部分是形式主语it 时,疑问部分的主语也用it 。如:
It took more than 100,000 men twenty years to build the Great Pyramid, didn't it?
建成这座大金字塔,十万人费了二十年时间,对吗?
(4)陈述部分是had better 固定搭配时,疑问部分应是hadn't。如:
We'd better play games now, hadn't we?
我们最好现在做游戏,行吗?
(5)如陈述部分的主语是不定代词everyone, someone, no one等词,疑问部分的主语常用they ,有时也可用he。如:
Somebody borrowed my bike yesterday, didn't they?
昨天有人借了我的自行车,对吗?
(6)如陈述部分的主语为不定代词something, everything 等及指示代词this, that 时,疑问部分的主语用it 。如:
Nothing could make him give in, could it? 什么也不会使它屈服,是吗?
