感叹句

更新时间:2023-11-17 22:43

感叹句(exclamation 或Exclamatory sentences)有多种表现形式,有时一个单词、短语或一个词组也可成为感叹句。如:Hello!(你好!),The design and the colours!(多美丽的图案和色彩啊!);有时陈述句、疑问句以及祈使句也可以转化成感叹句,如:What a nice boy!(多好的孩子!)How can you be so silly!(你怎么这么傻!)Don’t go with us!(别跟我们一起去!)。尽管感叹句的表现形式多种多样,但主要的表现形式只有两种,即what和how引导的感叹句。what修饰名词(名词前可加冠词和形容词),how修饰形容词、副词或动词。感叹句除了可以由how和what引导外,还有许多其他形式,可以用陈述句、疑问句、祈使句,有时甚至是一个单词或是一个短语也可以是一个感叹句。通常用how,what。

结构

一、由感叹词what引导的感叹句。

1.① What+a/an+(形容词)+单数可数名词+主语+谓语!

② What+名词词组+主语+谓语!

如: What a fine day it is!

2. What+(形容词)+可数名词复数或不可数名词+主语+谓语!

如: What kind women they are!

What nice music it is!

二、由How引导的感叹句。(how用来修饰形容词、副词或动词。)

1.How+形容词(副词)+主语+谓语!

如: How hard the workers are working!

How clever the girl is!

How quickly the boy is writing!

2. How+主语+谓语!

如:How time flies! 时光飞逝!

三、注意:

1. 当how修饰动词时,动词不跟着感叹词提到主语之前。

如: How time flies!

2. how与what引导的感叹句中的第一种格式(单数名词)一般情况下可以相互转换,转换后意义不变。

如: What an interesting story it is! = How interesting the story is!

What a beautiful building it is! = How beautiful the building is!

3. 在口语中,感叹句的主语和谓语常常省略。

如: What a nice present!(省略it is)

How disappointed!(省略she is或其它可作本句主、谓的词语)

间接引语

直接引语是感叹句时,若要变作间接引语,通常用引述动词tell, exclaim等。如:

■ “What a brave boy you are!” she told him. “你是一个多么勇敢的男孩子啊!”她告诉他说。

→She told him what a brave boy he was. 她告诉他说他是一个多么勇敢的男孩子。

■He said, “Hurrah! My friend is coming.” 他说道,“好哇!我的朋友来了。”

→He exclaimed with delight that his friend was coming. 他欢呼他的朋友来了。(引述动词用exclaim, 并加状语with delight)

当然,也可用其他一些引述动词。如:

■He said, “Alas! How foolish I have been!” 他说道,“哎,我多傻啊!”

→He confessed with regret that he had been very foolish. 他痛悔地承认他太傻了。(引述动词用confess加状语with regret)

■“What a crime he has committed!” she said. “他犯了多大的罪啊!”她说道。

→She didn’t know what a crime he had committed. 她不知道他犯了那么大的罪。(引述动词用know的否定式)

有时也可以不用引述动词,如:

■“How fast she can run!” he says. “她竟能跑得那样快!”他说道。

→It’s incredible how fast she can run. 她跑得如此之快令人不可置信。(用it’s incredible表示说话人的神情)

■He said to them all, “Good-bye, my friends!” 他对他们说道,“再见,我的朋友们!”

→He bade good-bye to all his friends. 他向他的所有朋友道别。(这里连间接引语也省略了)

相关语法

关于感叹句 what 和 how 的区别:

可数名词前要加不定冠词a/an,复数可数名词或不可数名词前不用冠词。这类句子的结构形式是:

what+(a/an)+adj.+n.+主语+谓语(it is就是主语加谓语).

如: ① What a clever girl she is! 多么聪明的姑娘呀!

谓语动词系动词;如果how修饰副词,则句中的谓语动词用行为动词,这类句子的结构形式是:

How+adj.(adv.)+主语+谓语 (it is就是主语加谓语).

如:① How cold it is today!

今天多么冷呀!

三、在表示同一意义时,英语感叹既

① What a hot day it is!

How hot the day is !(is 可要可不要)

四、感叹句在表示激动强烈的感情时,口语中常常采用省略句,其后面的主语和谓语往往略去不讲。

如:① What a fine day! 多么晴朗的天呀!

注意事项

1.how与what有时可以互换,句意相同。例如:

How clever a girl she is! = What a clever girl she is!

What delicious cakes these are! = How delicious these cakes are!

2.how或what引导的感叹句在表示强烈激动的感情时,在特定的语境中常用省略句,其后面的主语和谓语往往略去。例如:

How wonderful!

What a fine day!

3. how或what引导的感叹句通常用感叹号;但当表示感情程度不很强烈时,how或what引导的感叹句也可以用句号,读时一般用感叹调。例如:

How good you are to me.

What a lovely smell.

4.how或what引导的感叹句本身表达一种强烈的感情,一般不含有very、ratherquite、extremely等词,以免语意重复。例如不说:

* How very fast he runs!

* What extremely beautiful flowers they are!

5.著名学者周海中教授在1984年发表的《浅谈What和How引导的感叹句》一文中指出:how或what引导的感叹句一般不用于否定式。例如不说:

* How hard they didn't work!

* What dirty water they didn't drink!

6.周海中教授还指出:为了使句子的感叹力得到进一步的加强, how或what前面还可以加感叹词ah、oh等。他举了实例:

Ah, how I love her! (C. Dickens: David Copperfield)

Oh, what an accomplishment! (D. Lawrence: Aaron's Rod)

7.英语专家费致德教授在1981年出版的《现代英语惯用法词典》一书中指出:在口语里,为了强调起见,how或what引导的感叹句可以改为感叹词+谓语+主语。例如:

How impressive was the play!

What a fool is he!
