英语语法解析:选择疑问句
选择疑问句:是指提出两个或两个以上可能的答案供对方选择的句式
一种是以一般疑问句的结构形式为基础,只是在语调上有所区别。
例如:Would you like coffee or tea?
这一类选择疑问句通常都是在前一个供选择的答案用低升调,后一个用降调;如果有两个以上供选择的答案,则在最后一个用降调,其余都用低升调。
例如:
Would you like a gin,or a whisky,or a `beer?
你是要喝杜松子酒,还是威士忌酒,还是啤酒?
这种语调上的特征往往是区别选择疑问句和一般疑问句的重要标志。试比较:
Shall we leave at six or `seven?
我们是 6 点动身还是 7点动身?
Shall we leave at six or seven?
我们在6,7点钟动身好吗?
上述第一例是选择疑问句,其答案只能是两者之一。
We shall leave at six/seven.我们将在6点/7点动身。
上述第二例是一般疑问句,它的答案只是 yes/no,而且并不肯定是6点或7点,甚至可能既不是6点,也不是7点:
Yes,we shall leave at six or seven.是的,我们将在 6, 7点钟动身。
No.We must leave earlier.不。我们必须早点动身。
另一种选择疑问句是以特殊疑问句的结构形式为基础的,也是在语调上有所区别。
例如:Which vase shall I use, the short one or the tall one ? The tall one.
在选择疑问句中的冠词用法。
Is she a housewife or a nurse?(她是一个家庭主妇还是护士?)
其中,or后的不定冠词a/an 不能省略。
