PETS3口試:注意升降調(diào)

字號:

語調(diào)
     語調(diào)是指說話時聲調(diào)的高低變化。英語中最主要的兩種語調(diào)就是降調(diào)和升調(diào)。降調(diào)用于肯定的語句、命令以及特殊疑問句,具有一種完整和結(jié)論性的口氣。
    (1)一般陳述句。例如:
     This book is a novel.
     She doesn ‘t like it at all.
    (2)特殊疑問句。例如:
     Where did you go?
     What’S wrong with you?
    (3)表示命令的祈使句。例如:
     Be on time.
     Don’t go out of the door!
    (4)感嘆句。例如:What a nice day!
     HOW beautiful it is!
    (5)反意疑問句。前面陳述句的內(nèi)容是明顯的事實,后面的問句只是表示客氣,以引起別人的注意,或者說話者覺得自己的話是對的,期望得到別人的同意。例如:
     It’S a nice day,isn’t it?
     You came this moming,didn’t you?
    升調(diào)用于一般疑問句和一切表示懷疑的語句,具有一種非完整性的口氣。
    (1)一般疑問句。例如:
     Do you like sports?
     Haven’t you done that before?
    (2)表示請求的祈使句。例如:
     Have some tea,please.
     Don’t come back too late.
    (3)帶有不肯定、抱歉等意思的陳述句。例如:
     Maybe you’d like some tea.
