英语语调基本规则—培训课件.ppt

A：Are you Mr．Blake？ B：Yes？（↗） A：Ah，the secretary would like a word with you． 分析：在这个例子中，B用升调回答“Yes”，表示这是一个开放式的回答，相当于：“Yes． But why do you ask？”或是“Yes．But who want to know？”之意。这也就是说，B在回答A的问题的同时又向A提出了一个新问题，并要求A予以回答。 掌握了这一点之后，对于下面的对话所提问的问题，就不难回答了。 * M：How long shall we stay at the Grand Canyon？ W：A day？（↗） Q：What does the woman mean？ ［A］We shall stay at the Grand Canyon for one day． ［B］Shall we stay at the Grand Canyon for one day？ ［C］To stay at the Grand Canyon for one day is too short． ［D］To stay at the Grand Canyon for one day is enough． KEY：（B） * 4．陈述句式一般读降调，用以陈述事实。若读升调，往往表示对所说事情的怀疑。如： * M：I started driving at 8：00 yesterday and arrived here at 5：30 this morning． W：You drove all night？（↗） Q：What does the woman mean？ ［A］Night driving can be dangerous． ［B］You shouldn't have driven during the night． ［C］Why don't you drive all night？ ［D］Did you really drive all night？ 答案为D。 * 5．有些一般疑问句的句式读作降调，实际上表示感叹。如：Hasn't she grown！（↙）这句话实则表示：她长得多快！ * M：Wasn't Sam's speech great！（↙） W：Are you serious？ Q：What does the man say about Sam's speech？ ［A］Sam's speech wasn't great，was it？ ［B］Sam's speech was great，wasn't it？ ［C］Sam gave a serious speech． ［D］Sam was not serious． 答案为B。 * 问句不表示疑问的另一种情况：当一方提出一个问题，而另一方用问句作为回答时，这个问句有时是不需要回答的，而实际上相当于陈述句，但别有意味。如： * A：Are you going to watch TV again？ B：What else is there to do？（↗） B反问A一个问题“What else is there to do？”，意思是：（除了看电视）还有什么好干的呢？ * M：Do you think Petty is qualified to do the job？ W：If Petty is not，who is？（↗） Q：What does the woman mean？［A］Petty is not qualified for the job． ［B］Nobody is qualified for the job． ［C］Petty is well qualified for the job． ［D］All except Petty are qualified for the job． KEY：（C） * 有些一般疑问句句式也不需要回答，其功能也相当于陈述句，但肯定结构表否定，否定结构表肯定，而且传递了说话人浓烈的情绪。如： * W：Haven't you got anything better to do？（↗） M：Ok，Mum ，I'll turn off the TV and begin to do my homework． 显然，妈妈的意思是责备儿子不应该看电视，而应该做比看电视更有益的事——也就是说，妈妈认为儿子有更好的事可做。而对话中，儿子当然也明白妈妈的意思，因此说要关掉电视，开始做功课。再如： * M：I've observed you for ten minutes．What have you been doing？ W：Are you blind？（↗
