第三十三课　反问句

一.本课要点及示例

在这一课里,我们学习反问句,比方 "你不懂吗?" Don't you understand? "你跟我 一起看电视好吗?" Won't you watch television with me? 等等.

现在我们先来听今天这一课的对话, 内容是说亨利跟凯特谈起看球赛的事情.

请你注意两位英文老师的发音和语调.

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.

下面我请英文老师用慢速度再把对话念一遍.

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.

现在我们把对话里的反问句再听一遍.

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.反问句

听了上面的句子, 或许你对反问句的用法已经有了概念. 一般说来反问句都是 以动词或是助动词否定结构. 比方 don't, can't, isn't 开头, 在追问原因的时候 就把 why, w-h-y, why 放在句子的最前头, 比方对话里的 Why don't you watch it with me? 就是一个例子. 反问句有几种用途, 比方可以用来提出建议, 对话 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 "我们今天出去吃中饭吧!" 现在我们作一组练习, 把这两种说法作个比较, 练习的内容都跟各种不同运动 有关系, 比方 "英式足球" soccer, "曲棍球" hockey, "赛车" car racing, "拳击赛" boxing match, "世界棒球赛" baseball world series, "锦标赛" championship game 等等. 练习的作法是老师用 let's 开头说一句话, 比方 Let's watch the championship game.你就用 Why don't we 开头把句子改成 Why don't we watch the championship game? 现在我们开始作练习, 每作完一句就请你听老师念正 确答案.

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?

下面我们作一组练习, 学学怎么用反问句邀请别人作一件事情, 比方你要邀请 别人跟你一起打网球. 你可以这样说: Won't you play tennis with me? 这句话的 意思跟我们以前学过的 Would you play tennis with me? 大同小异. 现在我们把 这两种说法作个比较, 老师用 Would 开头说一句话, 你就用 won't 开头把句子 改成反问句, 现在我们开始作练习, 每作完一句就请你听老师念正确答案.

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?

下面我们作一组练习, 学学用 why don't you 向别人提出建议. 比方圣诞节快要 到了, 凯特不知道该给儿子彼得买什么圣诞礼物. 她跟亨利商量.亨利知道彼得 喜欢运动, 于是就建议说: "你为什么不给他买一根棒球棒呢?" Why don't you buy him a baseball bat? 现在我们作一组代换练习, 学学这种说法. 练习的作法 是老师先念一个句子, 接着老师提出一些运动器材的名称, 比方 "棒球面罩" baseball mask, "足球头盔" football helmet, "网球拍" tennis racket, "旱冰鞋" rollerskates, "滑雪的时候穿的外套" ski jacket, "打曲棍球用的棍子" hockey stick 等等. 请你把你听到的代换到原来的句子里. 每作完一句老师就念正确 答案给你听.

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
