英語語法解析:選擇疑問句
選擇疑問句:是指提出兩個或兩個以上可能的答案供對方選擇的句式
一種是以一般疑問句的結構形式為基礎,只是在語調上有所區別。
例如:Would you like coffee or tea?
這一類選擇疑問句通常都是在前一個供選擇的答案用低升調,后一個用降調;如果有兩個以上供選擇的答案,則在最后一個用降調,其余都用低升調。
例如:
Would you like a gin,or a whisky,or a `beer?
你是要喝杜松子酒,還是威士忌酒,還是啤酒?
這種語調上的特征往往是區別選擇疑問句和一般疑問句的重要標志。試比較:
Shall we leave at six or `seven?
我們是 6 點動身還是 7點動身?
Shall we leave at six or seven?
我們在6,7點鐘動身好嗎?
上述第一例是選擇疑問句,其答案只能是兩者之一。
We shall leave at six/seven.我們將在6點/7點動身。
上述第二例是一般疑問句,它的答案只是 yes/no,而且并不肯定是6點或7點,甚至可能既不是6點,也不是7點:
Yes,we shall leave at six or seven.是的,我們將在 6, 7點鐘動身。
No.We must leave earlier.不。我們必須早點動身。
另一種選擇疑問句是以特殊疑問句的結構形式為基礎的,也是在語調上有所區別。
例如:Which vase shall I use, the short one or the tall one ? The tall one.
在選擇疑問句中的冠詞用法。
Is she a housewife or a nurse?(她是一個家庭主婦還是護士?)
其中,or后的不定冠詞a/an 不能省略。
