中級美國英語簡短反問句
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們學(xué)習(xí)用簡短的反問句,比方用在陳述句后面的 "是嗎?" Is it?,"不是嗎?" Isn't it? 等等. 現(xiàn)在我們來聽這一課的對話. 這段對話的內(nèi)容是說鮑勃和珍妮暑假過后回到學(xué)校, 在校園里談到假期里作了什么事, 明年暑假預(yù)備作什么等等. 請你注意聽兩位英文老師的發(fā)音和語調(diào).
F: Hello, Bob. How was your summer? You studied Chinese this summer, didn't you?
M: Yes, Jenny. I finished my summer school class.
F: Well, how was the course? Chinese is pretty difficult, isn't it?
M: It seemed that way at first. But after a while it became easier.
F: I'll bet you were the best in the class, weren't you?
M: Well, I did get an A. But how about you? You were going to travel, weren't you?
F: Not this summer. I worked to save money. I'm going to Europe next summer.
M: I'm going to China. I guess we'll have lots to talk about next year, won't we?
現(xiàn)在我們聽老師用慢速度把對話再念一遍, 請你注意聽.

二.簡短反問句
聽了上面的句子, 你對簡短反問句的用法或許已經(jīng)有些概念. 簡單地說這種反問句有三個規(guī)則, 第一點就是當前面的陳述句是肯定的時候, 反問句就是否定的; 而前面的陳述句是否定的時候, 反問句就是肯定的; 第二點就是這種簡短反問句是用兩個字構(gòu)成的, 第一個字一定是在前面陳述句里出現(xiàn)的動詞或是助動詞; 第二個字一定是代名詞而且指的就是陳述句里的主語; 第三點就是反問句和前面陳述句的時態(tài)必須一致. 好了, 現(xiàn)在我們按照規(guī)則作練習(xí), 第一組練習(xí)是用 is 或是 are 作否定的簡短反問句, 請你注意在否定反問句里動詞或是助動詞一定要跟 not 連起來說, 比方is not 說成 isn't, were not 說成 weren't 等等. 現(xiàn)在請你注意聽男老師念一些跟剛才那段對話有關(guān)系的句子, 然后跟著女老師把句子重復(fù)一遍.
M: Bob is a university student, isn't he?
F: Bob is a university student, isn't he?
M: Jenny is in the same university, isn't she?
F: Jenny is in the same university, isn't she?
M: They are talking on the campus, aren't they?
F: They are talking on the campus, aren't they?
M: The campus is big, isn't it?
F: The campus is big, isn't it?
M: They are talking about traveling, aren't they?
F: They are talking about traveling, aren't they?
下面我們用代換方式練習(xí)用 will not 也就是 won't 作簡短反問句, 練習(xí)的內(nèi)容是說到鮑勃要到中國去旅行的事情, 比方他要坐飛機去, 要帶旅游指南去等等. 老師念一個句子, 接著老師念一個詞組, 學(xué)生就把詞組代換到原來的句子里. 在學(xué)生作練習(xí)的時候請你也一起作.
M: Bob will fly to China, won't he?
M: take a guide book with him
F: Bob will take a guide book with him, won't he?
M: take a Chinese dictionary with him
F: Bob will take a Chinese dictionary with him,won't he?
下面老師換了一個句子, 練習(xí)用 should not 也就是 shouldn't 作反問句, 說明鮑勃去中國應(yīng)該有護照和旅游簽證等等. 請你跟剛才一樣作練習(xí).
M: Bob should have a passport, shouldn't he?
M: have a tourist visa
F: Bob should have a tourist visa, shouldn't he?

M: Bob can go sightseeing, can't he?
M: take pictures
F: Bob can take pictures, can't he?
M: chat with Chinese
F: Bob can chat with Chinese, can't he?
下面我們練習(xí)在現(xiàn)在完成式句子后面用 hasn't 或是 haven't 加上主語代名詞作否定反問句. 練習(xí)里的句子有些談到珍妮決定到歐洲的事情,有的談到珍妮和鮑勃在大學(xué)里的生活. 練習(xí)的作法是由老師念一個陳述句,學(xué)生就把句子重復(fù)一遍, 并且在句尾加上適當?shù)姆磫柧? 在學(xué)生作練習(xí)的時候請你也一起作.
M: Jenny has decided to go to Europe.
F: Jenny has decided to go to Europe, hasn't she?
M: Jenny has saved some money for the trip.
F: Jenny has saved some money for the trip, hasn't she?
M: Jenny and Bob have taken many interesting courses.
F: Jenny and Bob have taken many interesting courses, haven't they?
M: Jenny and Bob have learned a lot.
F: Jenny and Bob have learned a lot, haven't they?
一般現(xiàn)在式句子的否定句是在動詞前面加上 don't 或是 doesn't. 所以一般現(xiàn)在式句子的否定反問句就是在句尾用 don't 或是 doesn't 加上主語代名詞. 現(xiàn)在我們來作代換練習(xí),學(xué)學(xué)這種說法.請你在學(xué)生作代換練習(xí)的時候也一起作.
M: Bob and Jenny need education, don't they?
M: knowledge
F: Bob and Jenny need knowledge, don't they?
M: advice
F: Bob and Jenny need advice, don't they?
M: skills
F: Bob and Jenny need skills, don't they?
下面老師換了一個句子作代換練習(xí), 內(nèi)容是說鮑勃在開學(xué)之前需要作些什么.現(xiàn)在請你跟學(xué)生一起作練習(xí).
M: Bob needs to get a school catalogue, doesn't he?
M: register
F: Bob needs to register, doesn't he?
M: pay tuition
F: Bob needs to pay tuition, doesn't he?
現(xiàn)在我們再來學(xué)習(xí)作簡短的反問句. 用 There is 或是 There are 開頭的句子在句尾加上否定反問句的時候必須用 isn't there 或是 aren't there. 現(xiàn)在我們來作一組練習(xí), 談?wù)劽绹逃? 練習(xí)的作法是先由老師念一個句子,學(xué)生重復(fù)一遍,并且在句尾加適當?shù)姆磫柧? 請你還是跟學(xué)生一起作練習(xí).
M: There are a lot of universities and community colleges in the United States.
F: There are a lot of universities and community colleges in the United States, aren't there?
M: There are adult education programs as well.
F: There are adult education programs as well, aren't there?
M: There are a lot of foreign students in American universities.
F: There are a lot of foreign students in American universities, aren't there?
剛才我們作的練習(xí)都是在肯定的陳述句的句尾加上否定的反問句, 下面我們要練習(xí)在否定的陳述句后面加上肯定的反問句. 下面這組練習(xí)的內(nèi)容都是有關(guān)鮑勃到中國去的事情. 練習(xí)的作法還是由老師念一個句子. 學(xué)生在重復(fù)句子的時候在句尾加上適當?shù)姆磫柧? 在學(xué)生作練習(xí)的時候還是請你一起作.
M: Bob hasn't been to China yet.
F: Bob hasn't been to China yet, has he?
M: He won't go by boat.
F: He won't go by boat, will he?

M: He shouldn't worry about flying.
F: He shouldn't worry about flying, should he?
M: Bob doesn't plan to stop over in Hong Kong.
F: Bob doesn't plan to stop over in Hong Kong, does he?
下面一組練習(xí)是把被動語態(tài)跟反問句配合起來.練習(xí)的做法是老師念一個被動語態(tài)否定句, 學(xué)生跟著重復(fù)一遍, 并且在句尾加上適當?shù)目隙ǚ磫柧?這些句子都是說到游客到中國旅行應(yīng)該注意的事情, 比方他們不應(yīng)該用美元, 不應(yīng)該跟私人換貨幣, 有些歷史古跡還不開放等等. 請你跟學(xué)生一起作練習(xí).
M: U.S. dollars aren't used in China.
F: U.S. dollars aren't used in China, are they?

F: Some Chinese historical sites haven't been opened to the public, have they?
M: Pictures shouldn't be taken in some museums.
F: Pictures shouldn't be taken in some museums, should they?
剛才我說過反問句的時態(tài)必須跟前面的陳述句一致. 在下面一組練習(xí)里, 陳述句都是過去式句子, 所以句尾的反問句也必須是過去式的. 練習(xí)里的句子都是說到珍妮和鮑勃夏天里的活動, 有些句子是肯定的, 有些句子是否定的, 你聽了老師念的句子之后請你把句子重復(fù)一遍, 并且在句尾加上適當?shù)姆磫柧? 每作一句就請你聽老師念正確答案.
M: Bob took Chinese in summer school.
F: Bob took Chinese in summer school, didn't he?
M: He finished the course.
F: He finished the course, didn't he?
M: He was the best in his class.
F: He was the best in his class, wasn't he?
M: He didn't have much free time.
F: He didn't have much free time, did he?

F: Jenny worked in the summer, didn't she?

三.聽短文回答問題
我們今天要聽的文章就是介紹什么是簡短反問句. 文章里除了談到人們在什么場合用反問句, 還詳細說明了用這種反問句的幾個規(guī)則. 這些規(guī)則我剛才已經(jīng)用中文說明過了, 我們也按照規(guī)則作了不少練習(xí), 現(xiàn)在請你聽聽英文說明, 看看是不是聽得懂.
Tag questions are commonly used in conversations by American English speakers. Tag questions are short questions which are added to the end of statements. A person uses a tag question because he isn't sure of what he has said. He adds a tag question to his statement to make the listener talk. The listener may agree with the speaker or he may correct the speaker. Tag questions have two words. The first word is always a helping verb such as "is" or "does". The helping verb of a tag question must be the same tense as the tense of the main statement. All helping verbs can be used in a tag question. They may be positive or they may be negative contractions with "n't". The second word of a tag question is always a pronoun. The pronoun stands for the subject of the main statement. A name is never repeated in a tag question. Most languages have expressions like tag questions. But English tag questions are more difficult than those of other languages. Each tag question must agree in tense and subject with its preceding statement. However, when the statement is positive, the tag question must be negative; and when the statement is negative, the tag question must be positive. Tag questions in English are very difficult indeed.
剛才那篇文章你要是沒有全聽懂, 等一會兒還有機會聽, 現(xiàn)在我們先來聽今天測驗的三個問題.
第一個問題是:
M: What are tag questions?
第二個問題是:
M: Why do people use tag questions?
第三個問題是:
M: What are the two words of a tag question?
現(xiàn)在我們再聽英文老師用慢速度把文章念一遍.
