(3)祈使句(Imperative Sentence)
定义 用于表达命令、请求、劝告、警告、禁止等的句子叫做祈使句,祈使句最常用于表达命令,因此在学校文法中也常称为命令句。
祈使句因对象(即主语)是第二人称,所以通常都省略。祈使句的动词都为一般现在时,句末则使用句号来表示结束。
Go and wash your hands.
(去洗你的手。--命令)
Be quiet, please.(Please be quiet.)
(请安静。--请求)
Be kind to our sister.
(对姊妹要和善。--劝告)
Watch your steps.
(走路小心。--警告)
Look out!Danger!
(小心!危险!--强烈警告,已如感叹句)
Keep off the grass.
(勿践草坪。--禁止)
No parking.
(禁止停车。--禁止)
解说祈使句的否定通常使用"Don't ...",例如:
Don't let the dog in.
(不要让那只狗进来。)
Don't touch, please.
(请不要用手触摸。)
Don't be silly.
(别傻了。)
祈使句也常把主语"You"表达出来,使对方听起来觉得柔和些,例如:
You go and tell him, Chris.
(克立斯你去告诉他。)
(4)感叹句(Exclamatory Sentence)
定义表达强烈情绪(喜、怒、哀、乐、惊、恐等)的句子叫做感叹句。
强烈情绪的表达通常有下列三种方式。
(a)使用感叹词(请参考第三章,构词法与词类--词类,H)
(b)只用情绪感觉的语词,例如:
Water! Water! Quick!
(水!水!快!--如救火或救人时。)
What taste!
(这是什么味道啊!--如吃到怪味时)
(c)使用"How...!"或"What(a)...!"的句式,例如:
How beautiful you are, Helen!
(海伦,您是多么地美!)
What a beautiful flower it is!
(这一朵花多么地美!)
本句式的主语动词也可以省去以突显情绪的强烈感,例如:
How cruel/(they are)!
(真是惨绝人寰!--如听到绑票的撕票案等。)
How beautiful (these flowers are )!
(d)使用简短的陈述句配合音调也可以表达感叹,例如:
You are kidding!
(你在开玩笑!--表示惊讶)
I hate you!
(我恨你!--表示愤怒或绝望)
