疑问句
疑问句
(question,
又叫 interrogative
sentence),
就其语法结构和交际功能来说,分为一般疑问句(general
question)
、特殊疑问句
(special question)
、选择疑问句
(alternative question)
和附加疑问句(tag
question)
分述如下。
,
1) 一般疑问句
一般疑问句常用来问一件事情或一个情况是否属实,其答语通常是
yes / no
或相当于
yes-no
的词语,因此这类问句又叫做“是非问句"
(yes-no question)。在一般疑问句中,如果提问人没有肯定或否定的意向,即答案可以是
yes,
也可以是
no,
句中常用非
肯定词
(non-assertive word)
例如:
Is
there
anything
wrong with the machine? 有什么问题, 这台机器?
Have you
any
objection? 你反对吗?
Have you any objections
to my coming too? 你反对我来吗?
Has my watch been mended
yer? 我的表修好了吗?
Does this medicine
work
at all? 这种药有效吗?
如果提问人对于答案带有肯定的意向,即期待肯定的回答时,则在该用非肯定词的地方用肯定词(assertive
word)
。例如:
Have you
already
finished your
work?
Is
there
something
wrong with the machine?
Did
someone phone last
night?
Do
you
always
buy as much as this?
上述诸例表示提问入对所询之事巳有几分肯定,期待对方予以证实
。由
此引申,在招待客人或向人表示乐意提供某种帮助时,通常在一般疑问句中用肯定词。 例如:
Would
you
like
some
more soup?
May I make you
some
coffee?
一般疑问句的否定式有两种:一种是"操作词+n't+
主语”,通常用于非正式语体;一种是"操作词+主语+not"
,
常用于正式语体。例如:
Haven't
you
finished your homework
yet?
Have
you
not
finished your homework yet?
Haven't you
heard from
him
alread.
(你不是已经接到他的信了吗?)
Don't you
always
go to
work
at eight?
(你不是经常八点钟上班吗?)
一般疑问句的缩略否定形式还可表示对美好事物的赞叹。 例如:
Isn't
it
a beautiful lake?
(这湖多美啊!)
Isn't
you
daughter
an intelligent girl? (你女儿真聪明!)
不过这巳不是疑问句,而是表示感叹的一种方式,在语义上相当于一个受强调的肯定陈述句:
The
lake
is very beautiful indeed.
Your
daughter
is
really an intelligent girl.
2)
特铢疑问句
特殊疑问句是对句中某一特殊部分提出疑问,通常以
who,
whose, what, which, where,
when, why,
how
等疑问词开首,因此又叫
"wh- 问句"
(Wh-question)。特殊疑问句分为正常词序和倒装词序两种结构。
Who
phoned last night?
Which
cork doesn't tit?
倒装词序的特殊疑问句如:
Who
are
you
talking about?
Whose
lighter fell on the floor?
What
happened
last night?
What
does
your
brother do?
Where
is
he living?
When
did they leave?
Why
did he arrive so
late?
How
far
is
it from here?
特殊疑问句也有它的强调形式,常用以表示惊讶、愤怒等感情。 第一种强调方法是在疑问词后面加ever
。例如:
Who ever
broke the
window?
Why ever
didn't you tell me you'd been
ill?
另一种强调方法是在疑问词后面加添表示惊讶、诅咒的词语。例如:
What
on
earth
could
it
mean?
When
earth
did
you
break
it
off?
What the devil
is
happening over
there?
What in the world
is
the
matter w ith
you?
What the
hell
do you
want?
Where the devil
did I put
my pen?
How
the goodness
did
you
manage
to
do that?
What in
heaven's
name
does he think he
is
doing?
3) 选择疑问句
选择疑问句
(alternative question)
是说话人对问题提出两个或两个以上的答案供对方选择的疑问句选择疑问句有两种形式:一种是以一般疑问句为基础。例如:
Are you going to
elect
Henry
chard?
Shall
I
give you a
hand,
or
can
you
manage?
Would
you
rather
wait
or
come later?
Shall
I
give you a gin, or a
whisky, or a beer?
另一种是以特殊疑问句为基础
例如
What
is
this, ignorance or malice
(恶意)
?
Or
both?
Which do you
like
better, tea
or coffee?
How
shall
we
go
there?
By bus
or
by
air?
Which
Jones do you mean, Jones the banker
or
Jones the postman?
4)
附加疑问句
附加疑问句
(tag question)
是一种常用于口语的疑问句式,主要由“陈述句+附加问句“构成,附加问句部分的动词一般要与陈述部分的动词相对应,附加问句部分的主语要与陈述部分的主语相对应,如果陈述部分的主语是名词词组,则附加问句部分用相应的代词表示附加疑问句主要有两类, 即“陈述句+反意附加问句“和“陈述句+非反意附加问句"
这两类又可分为以下四种形式。
肯定的陈述句+否定的附加问句, 例如:
That clock
is
slow,
isn't it?
否定的陈述句+肯定的附加问句, 例如:
That
clock
isn't
slow,
is
it?
肯定的陈述句+肯定的附加问句, 例如:
That clock
is
slow,
is
it?
否定的陈述句+否定的附加问句, 例如:
That clock
isn't
slow,
isn't
it?
前两种形式是主要的,后两种形式仅在特定语境中表示感情色彩
附加疑问句也可由“祈使句+附加问句"构成, 例如:
Carry
this
parcel
for me,
will
you?
Remember
to buy
some meat,
won't
you?
关于附加问句
(question tag)
的构成,有以下几点值得注意:
a) 当陈述部分的主语是
everybody,
everyone,
someone,
no
one,
nobody,
somebody
等指人的合成词时,附加问句部分的主语在正式语体中通常用
he。例如:
Everybody knows what he has to do,
doesn't he?
Nobody
wants
to go there, does
he?
None
of
the
boys can do
it,
can
he?
在非正式语体中则往往用
they。 例如:
Nobody phoned
while
I
was
out,
did
they?
Everyone enjoyed the party,
didn't
they?
Somebody
borrowed
my pen
yesterday,
didn't
they?
但若陈述部分的主语是
everything,
anything, something,
nothing
等指物的合成词时,附加问句部分的主语只能用
it 。例如:
Nothing could make me give
it
up,
could it?
Everything
is
ready,
isn't it?
b)
当陈述部分是
there
存在句时,附加问句部分的主语也用
there。例如:
There's no help for
it,
is there?
There's something wrong,
isn't
there?
c) 陈述部分带有seldom,
hardly,
never, rarely,
few,
little,
nowhere,
nothing
等否定词或半否定词时,附加问句部分助动词用肯定形式。例如:
Bob rarely
got drunk,
did
he?
Few people know
him,
do
they?
She seldom goes to the cinema, does
she?
如果陈述部分的否定词仅带有否定前缀,那么,该陈述部分作肯定句处理,附加问句部分一般仍用否定形式。例如:
He
was
unsuccessful,
wasn't he?
d) 如果陈还部分是
I'm
...
结构,附加问句部分一般用
aren't I。 例如:
I'm late,
aren't I?
e)
如果陈述部分以不定代词
one
作主语,附加问句部分的主语在正式场合用
one,
在非正式场合用
you
。例如:
One can't be too careful,
can
one? 也可以用...can
you?
f)
当陈述部分是一个带有
that-
分句作宾语的主从结构时,附加问句部分一般应与主句的主语和谓语动词保持对应关系了。
例如:
You
think you are funny,
don't
you?
He thinks he
is
going to become
a
doctor,
doesn't
he?
She says (that) I did
it,
doesn't
she?
但是,当陈述部分的主句是 I suppose,
I
think,
I
believe, I suspect,
I
imagine
等结构时,附加问句部分则往往与
that-
分句中的主语和谓语动词保待对应关系,但要注意否定的转移。例如:
I suppose
(that)
he's serious,
isn't
he?
I don't think
(that)
she cares, does
she?
g)
当陈述部分带有表示“所有“含义的动词
have
时,附加问句部分既可用
have
形式,也可do
形式;如果陈述部分的动词是
have
的否定形式,附加问句部分是用
have
形式还是用
do式,取决于陈述部分的动词形式。例如:
You
have a Rolls-Royce, haven't
you? 也可以用...don't
you?
He hasn't a lot
of
time
to
spare,
has
he?
Miss Oates
doesn't
have any money
in
her pocket,
does
she?
当陈述部分的
have
不表示”所有”而表示其他含义时,附加问句部分须用
do
的一定形式。例如:
You
often have headaches,
don't
you?
She had a good time yesterday,
didn't
she?
h)
陈述部分带有情态助动词
ought
to
时,附加问句部分在英式英语中仍用
ought
to,
但在美式英语中常用
should。例如:
The child ought to be punished,
oughtn't
he?
We
ought
to
go
there,
shouldn't we?
i) 陈述部分带有情态助动词used to 时,附加问句 部分可用
used
to
形式或
did
形式。例如:
The Allens used to live
in
the country,
usedn't
they?
He used to smoke
fifty
cigarettes a day,
didn't he?
j) 陈述部分带有情态助动词
needn't 时,附加问句部分通常仍用
need
。例如:
You
needn't go yet,
need
you?
在这里也可用
must。 例如:
He needn't do that,
must
he?
这里的
must
作“有必要“解。
k) 陈述部分有情态助动词 must
表示“义务”时,附加问句部分通常仍用
must
。例如:
You
must
work
hard next
term,
mustn't
you?
You
mustn't
walk
on grass,
must
you?
但当
must
作“有必要“解时,随后的附加问句部分既可用
mustn't,
也可用
needn't。 例如:
You
must go home right now,
mustn't
you /
needn't
you?
must
表示“一定”、“想必'等推测性意义时,附加问句部分仍用
must
例如:
He must be very tired,
mustn't
he?
在这种语境中,间或也可根据上下文采用其他动词。例如:
He must be
very tired,
isn't
he?
(He
must be very tired
=
I'm
sure he
is very tired.)
He must have
waited
here for
a
long
time,
hasn't
he?
(He
must have
waited
...
=
I'm
sure he
has waited
…)
You
must have seen the
play last
week,
didn't you?
(You must have seen
...
=
I'm
sure you
saw
...)
I)
在由“祈使句十附加问句'构成的附加疑问句中.附加疑问句一般用
will
you , won't you ,wouldn't
you。 例如:
Don't move the chair,
will
you?
Be quiet,
would
you?
有时也可用
can
you, can't you,
why
don't you, could
you
例如:
Give me some cigarettes,
can
you?
Be quiet,
can't
you?
但是,在以
Let's
开首的祈使句之后,附加问句部分用
shall
we。 例如:
Let's go camping,
shall we? 我们去野营吧,好吗?
Let's
stop
here,
shall we? 我们在这儿停一下,好吗?
Let us
开首的祈使句,如果含义是
allow
us,
不包括听话人在内时,附加问句部分则用
will

will
you? 让我们走,好吗?
