中級美國英語反問句
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里,我們學習反問句,比方 "你不懂嗎?" Don't you understand? "你跟我一起看電視好嗎?" Won't you watch television with me? 等等.
現在我們先來聽今天這一課的對話, 內容是說亨利跟凱特談起看球賽的事情.請你注意兩位英文老師的發(fā)音和語調.
F: Henry, why don't we go out to lunch today, and visit some friends?
M: And miss today's football game? Washington and Los Angeles are playing. I can't miss that.
F: Honestly, Henry. Don't you ever get tired of football games?
M: This will be one of the best games of the year, and I haven't seen Washington play for years.
F: Every year, as soon as the leaves start changing,you start spending Sunday afternoons in front of the television watching football.
M: Why don't you watch it with me? You might like it.
F: I have better thing to do with my Sunday afternoons. Besides, it's too rough for me.
下面我請英文老師用慢速度再把對話念一遍.
F: Henry, why don't we go out to lunch today, and visit some friends?
M: And miss today's football game? Washington and Los Angeles are playing. I can't miss that.
F: Honestly, Henry. Don't you ever get tired of football games?
M: This will be one of the best games of the year, and I haven't seen Washington play for years.
F: Every year, as soon as the leaves start changing,you start spending Sunday afternoons in front of the television watching football.
M: Why don't you watch it with me? You might like it.
F: I have better thing to do with my Sunday afternoons. Besides, it's too rough for me.
現在我們把對話里的反問句再聽一遍.
F: Why don't we go out to lunch today?
F: Don't you ever get tired of football games?
M: Why don't you watch it with me?
二.反問句
聽了上面的句子, 或許你對反問句的用法已經有了概念. 一般說來反問句都是以動詞或是助動詞否定結構. 比方 don't, can't, isn't 開頭, 在追問原因的時候就把 why, w-h-y, why 放在句子的最前頭, 比方對話里的 Why don't you watch it with me? 就是一個例子. 反問句有幾種用途, 比方可以用來提出建議, 對話里的 Why don't we go out to lunch today? 意思就等于 Let's go out to lunch today! 也就是 "我們今天出去吃中飯吧!"
現在我們作一組練習, 把這兩種說法作個比較, 練習的內容都跟各種不同運動有關系, 比方 "英式足球" soccer, "曲棍球" hockey, "賽車" car racing, "拳擊賽"boxing match, "世界棒球賽" baseball world series, "錦標賽" championship game 等等. 練習的作法是老師用 let's 開頭說一句話, 比方 Let's watch the championship game.你就用 Why don't we 開頭把句子改成 Why don't we watch the championship game? 現在我們開始作練習, 每作完一句就請你聽老師念正確答案.
M: Let's play soccer.
F: Why don't we play soccer?
M: Let's play hockey.
F: Why don't we play hockey?
M: Let's go see a boxing match.
F: Why don't we go see a boxing match?
M: Let's go see car racing.
F: Why don't we go see car racing?
M: Let's go running.
F: Why don't we go running?
M: Let's watch the baseball world series.
F: Why don't we watch the baseball world series?
M: Let's watch the championship game.
F: Why don't we watch the championship game?
M: Let's stay home and watch the football game.
F: Why don't we stay home and watch the football game?
下面我們作一組練習, 學學怎么用反問句邀請別人作一件事情, 比方你要邀請別人跟你一起打網球. 你可以這樣說: Won't you play tennis with me? 這句話的意思跟我們以前學過的 Would you play tennis with me? 大同小異. 現在我們把這兩種說法作個比較, 老師用 Would 開頭說一句話, 你就用 won't 開頭把句子改成反問句, 現在我們開始作練習, 每作完一句就請你聽老師念正確答案.
M: Would you play tennis with me?
F: Won't you play tennis with me?
M: Would you go to the football game with me?
F: Won't you go to the football game with me?
M: Would you go to the soccer game with me?
F: Won't you go to the soccer game with me?
M: Would you go to the hockey game with me?
F: Won't you go to the hockey game with me?
M: Would you go see a boxing match with me?
F: Won't you go see a boxing match with me?
M: Would you go see car racing with me?
F: Won't you go see car racing with me?
M: Would you watch the baseball world series with me?
F: Won't you watch the baseball world series with me?
M: Would you watch the championship game with me?
F: Won't you watch the championship game with me?
下面我們作一組練習, 學學用 why don't you 向別人提出建議. 比方圣誕節(jié)快要到了, 凱特不知道該給兒子彼得買什么圣誕禮物. 她跟亨利商量.亨利知道彼得喜歡運動, 于是就建議說: "你為什么不給他買一根棒球棒呢?" Why don't you buy him a baseball bat? 現在我們作一組代換練習, 學學這種說法. 練習的作法是老師先念一個句子, 接著老師提出一些運動器材的名稱, 比方 "棒球面罩"baseball mask, "足球頭盔" football helmet, "網球拍" tennis racket, "旱冰鞋"rollerskates, "滑雪的時候穿的外套" ski jacket, "打曲棍球用的棍子" hockey stick 等等. 請你把你聽到的代換到原來的句子里. 每作完一句老師就念正確答案給你聽.
M: Why don't you buy him a baseball bat?
M: a baseball mask
F: Why don't you buy him a baseball mask?
M: baseball gloves
F: Why don't you buy him baseball gloves?
M: a football helmet
F: Why don't you buy him a football helmet?
M: a tennis racket
F: Why don't you buy him a tennis racket?
M: a ski jacket
F: Why don't you buy him a ski jacket?
M: a hockey stick
F: Why don't you buy him hockey stick?
M: a pair of ice skates
F: Why don't you buy him a pair of ice skates?
M: a pair of rollerskates
F: Why don't you buy him a pair of rollerskates?
剛才我們用 why don't you 作了一些反問句, 表示向別人提議. 現在我們把這種說法跟另外一種反問句作個比較. 練習的作法是老師用 why don't you 提出一個建議, 比方 Why don't you buy him a baseball bat? 請你把句子改成:"給他買棒球棒不是更好嗎?" Isn't it better to buy him a baseball bat? 現在我們開始作練習, 每作完一句老師就念正確答案給你聽.
M: Why don't you buy him a baseball bat?
F: Isn't it better to buy him a baseball bat?
M: Why don't you buy him a baseball mask?
F: Isn't it better to buy him a baseball mask?
M: Why don't you buy him a baseball gloves?
F: Isn't it better to buy him a baseball gloves?
M: Why don't you buy him a football helmet?
F: Isn't it better to buy him a football helmet?
M: Why don't you buy him a tennis racket?
F: Isn't it better to buy him a tennis racket?
M: Why don't you buy him a ski jacket?
F: Isn't it better to buy him a ski jacket?
M: Why don't you buy him a hockey stick?
F: Isn't it better to buy him a hockey stick?
M: Why don't you buy him a pair of ice skates?
F: Isn't it better to buy him a pair of ice skates?
M: Why don't you buy him a pair of rollerskates?
F: Isn't it better to buy him a pair of rollerskates?
三.用反問句表疑問
下面我們學學用反問句來表示對某件事情感到懷疑. 比方彼得最喜歡的球隊要跟另外一個球隊打決賽, 可是他居然因為有別的事不去, 他妹妹琳達知道了覺得很奇怪就問他說: "你難道不要給你最喜歡的球隊加油嗎?" Don't you want to cheer your favorite team? 當琳達發(fā)現彼得對看球賽不那么感興趣了就問他說: "難道你從來不想跟職業(yè)運動員一樣棒嗎? "Don't you ever want to be as skillful as professional athletes?
下面琳達問彼得一些問題, 請你每聽一句就跟著學生把句子重復一遍.
F: Aren't you going to the championship game tonight?
M: Aren't you going to the championship game tonight?
F: Don't you want to cheer your favorite team?
M: Don't you want to cheer your favorite team?
F: Can't you change your plan and go to the game?
M: Can't you change your plan and go to the game?
F: Don't you want to be as skillful as the professional athletes?
M: Don't you want to be as skillful as the professional athletes?
F: Don't you want to be as rich as the professional athletes?
M: Don't you want to be as rich as the professional athletes?
四.回答反問句
現在我們學習怎么回答反問句. 在中文里如果有人問你: 你不喜歡棒球嗎? 要是你不喜歡你就回答說: 是的, 我不喜歡; 可是在英文里, 你就必須這樣說: No, I don't like it.
在下面一組練習里,有人問凱特一些有關運動的問題, 這些問題凱特都一一的作否定的答覆. 下面就是一個例子:
M: Aren't you going to the football game tonight?
F: No, I am not going to the football game tonight.
現在請你注意聽問題, 并且跟凱特一起回答問題.
M: Didn't you watch the football game last night?
F: No, I didn't watch the football game last night.
M: Didn't you know that it was the championship game?
F: No, I didn't know that it was the championship game.
M: Don't you feel sorry that you missed it?
F: No, I don't feel sorry that I missed it.
M: Don't you like professional sports?
F: No, I don't like professional sports.
M: Don't you think that professional sports are interesting?
F: No, I don't think that professional sports are interesting.
五.聽短文回答問題
在剛才那組練習里, 凱特表示她對職業(yè)球賽不感興趣, 但是一般美國人跟她大不相同. 許多美國人是運動迷, 他們對許多球類運動特別熱衷,尤其是棒球. 下面我們要聽的文章介紹的就是在美國很受歡迎的幾種球類運動.
現在請你注意聽. 等一會兒我們要根據文章問你幾個問題.
Professional sports are very popular in the United States, and they are big business. The most popular sports are baseball, football and basketball. Each has its own season, and millions of supporters. Professional teams are named for the cities where they are located. Their strongest supporters live in these cities. When a team plays in a championship game, most people in the city follow the game with interest and enthusiasm. Basketball is well known around the world. Professional basketball games in the United States are played indoors during the winter months. From November to April one can find a professional basketball game several nights a week in most large American cities. Baseball is an American sport. It has been called the national pass-time. The game is played in the evenings nearly everyday of the week and on weekends as well. The season begins in April and finishes with the World series in October. Football has become the most popular professional sport in the U.S. It is played on Sundays during the fall from August to January. American football is different from international football, which Americans call soccer. Both games require strength and specialized skills. Professional athletes are very well paid. The most famous athletes make millions of dollars for their playing skill. America's best athletes have higher salaries than the country's president.
現在我們先來聽今天測驗的三個問題.
第一個問題是:
M: When are professional basketball games played indoors?
第二個問題是:
M: When is professional football played?
第三個問題是:
M: Do professional athletes make a lot of money?
現在我請老師用慢速度再把文章念一遍.
