舌尖上的美國(66):談?wù)撘粽{(diào)(中)
M: Linda looked very tired these days.
W: She looked OK to me(↗).
Q: What does the woman think of Linda?
(A) She saw Linda and me.
(B) Linda said she was fine.
(C) She looked up the word for me.
(D) She considered Linda was all right.
這位女士所表達(dá)的意思就是D啦。這句話中重音落在句子的最后一個(gè)單詞me上，因?yàn)榕坑蒙{(diào)重讀me，這表示了女士有意與男士的看法形成對(duì)比，意思是：在你的眼里，她顯得疲憊，可在我看來，她沒什么問題。這表示了她那種無所謂的態(tài)度。
2.附加疑問句可以讀升調(diào)也可以讀降調(diào)，意思是不相同的。降調(diào)表示發(fā)問者相信陳述句的內(nèi)容，只等對(duì)方證實(shí);升調(diào)表示發(fā)問者對(duì)陳述句內(nèi)容的真實(shí)性沒有把握，希望對(duì)方作出自己的判斷。如：
A: You will finish the work, won't you?(↙)
B: Yes, I will.
A用降調(diào)提問，意思是：I know you will finish the work, but I want you to confirm it.
A: You will finish the work, won't you?(↗)
B: Yes, I will.(或No, I won't.)
A用升調(diào)提問，表示A心中沒有把握，因此，得到的回答既可能是肯定的，也可能是否定的。
3.語調(diào)可以反應(yīng)談話人的互動(dòng)性。如:
A: Are you Mr. Blake?
B: Yes.(↙)
A: Room twenty-six.
在這個(gè)例子中，B用降調(diào)說Yes，表示B的認(rèn)可，這是一個(gè)封閉式的回答。這表明如果A沒有新的問題要問或新的信息要告知，也許他們的對(duì)話就可以結(jié)束了。
A: Are you Mr. Blake?
B: Yes?(↗)
A: Ah, the secretary would like a word with you.
在這個(gè)例子中，B用升調(diào)回答Yes，表示這是一個(gè)開放式的回答，相當(dāng)于"Yes. But why do you ask?"或是"Yes. But who want to know?"之意。這也就是說，B在回答A的問題的同時(shí)又向A提出了一個(gè)新問題，并要求A予以回答。
掌握了這一點(diǎn)之后，對(duì)于下面的對(duì)話就不難理解了：
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.
W: She looked OK to me(↗).
Q: What does the woman think of Linda?
(A) She saw Linda and me.
(B) Linda said she was fine.
(C) She looked up the word for me.
(D) She considered Linda was all right.
