释义 | 〔crescendo〕"insisted[that] all paragraphs . . . should be structured as a crescendo rising to a climactic last sentence" (Henry A. Kissinger)“坚持所有的 段落…都应该以语气最强的句子结尾” (亨利A.基辛格)〔interrobang〕A punctuation mark used especially to end a simultaneous question and exclamation.问叹号:用以结束同时发生疑问和感叹语气句子的标点符号〔sirree〕Sir. Used for emphasis afteryes or no. 先生:先生。在是 或 不 后面用于表示强调的语气 〔doubt〕That is also the usual choice when the truth of the clause following doubt is assumed, as in negative sentences and questions. ThusI never doubted for a minute that I would be rescued implies "I was certain that I would be rescued.” By the same token,Do you doubt that you will be paid? seems to pose a rhetorical question ("Surely you believe that you will be paid"), whereasDo you doubt whether you will be paid? may express a genuine request for information and might be followed bybecause if you do, you should make the client post a bond. In other cases, however, this distinction betweenwhether and that is not always observed, andthat is frequently used as a substitute for whether. If may also be used as a substitute forwhether but is more informal in tone. ·In informal speech the clause followingdoubt is sometimes introduced with but: I don't doubt but (or but what ) he will come. Reputable precedent exists for this construction,as in"I do not doubt but England is at present as polite a Nation as any in the World" (Richard Steele),but modern critics sometimes object to its use in formal writing.See Usage Note at but ,if 在否定句及疑问句中当doubt 后的从句所作陈述被认为是真时,用 that 。 所以我从不怀疑我会被救起 意思就是“我确信我会得救”。 同样你怀疑人家会赖帐吗? 似乎就成了一个反问句(“你当然相信人家不会赖帐了”), 而你怀疑人家是否付款吗? 就表示一个真诚的询问, 可能接下来会说因为如果你怀疑的话,你就该让顾客付保证金 。 在其它情况下,whether 和 that 的区别并不很明显, 而且that 经常用来替代 whether。 If 也经常用来代替whether , 但是语气不很正式。在非正式语气中doubt 后面的从句有时由 but引导:I don't doubt but (或 but what ) he will come。 这种结构有其先例且属规范用法,如“我不怀疑目前的英格兰象世界上其他国家一样是礼义之邦” (理查德·斯蒂尔),但现代评论家有时反对在正式文体中这样使用 参见 but,if〔injustice〕 Wrong in a legal sense refers to what violates the rights of an individual or adversely affects the public welfare;in a more general sense, however,the word is similar in meaning to but more emphatic thaninjustice: Wrong 在法律上讲指侵犯了个人权利或危害公共利益;但从更广泛的意义上讲,这个词语气和injustice很相似但更重一些: 〔too〕In these casesnot too adds a note of ironic understatement. · Negation oftoo by can't may sometimes lead to ambiguities, as inYou can't check your child's temperature too often, which may mean either that the temperature should be checked only occasionally or that it should be checked as frequently as possible. ·Too meaning "in addition" or "also" is sometimes used to introduce a sentence: 在这些情况下,not too 给句子加上了一个带讽刺意味的语气。 too 与 can't 一起用作否定时,有时会产生歧义, 例如在You can't check your child's temperature too often 这句话中, 可能意为“你只能偶尔给你孩子量量体温”或“你应该经常给你孩子量体温”。too 意为“另外”或“也,又”时, 有时可以用来引导一个句子: 〔climax〕Latin clīmax [rhetorical climax] 拉丁语 clīmax [语气的顶点] 〔indicative〕The indicative mood.陈述语气:表示陈述的语气〔reverse〕inverting subject and verb to form an interrogative.倒置主语和动词以形成疑问语气。〔sport〕A joking mood or attitude:开玩笑的语气或态度:〔spoken〕Speaking or using speech in a specified manner or voice. Often used in combination:以特殊的方式说话的:以特殊的表情或语气说话或演讲。通常用于连接词:〔protestation〕An emphatic declaration.声明:一个语气强调的宣告〔provoke〕 rouse, the stronger term,often implies incitement to vigorous or animated activity or excitement of strong emotion: rouse 在语气上较强一些,指激发进行有活力或生机的活动或激起强烈的感情: 〔sport〕She made the remark in sport.她以玩笑的语气评论〔tart〕Sharp or bitter in tone or meaning; cutting.刻薄的:在语气或意思上尖锐或挖苦的;尖刻的〔error〕 Mistake often implies misunderstanding or misinterpretation and is usually weaker thanerror in imputing blame or censure: Mistake 经常指误解、曲解,在责难或责备意义中语气比error 弱: 〔playful〕"He meant to be conversationally playful but his voice had no tone"(Saul Bellow)“他想使交谈幽默一些,但他的话里没有一点幽默的语气”(索尔·贝洛)〔suppose〕To consider as a suggestion:让:(用于祈祷语气)让我建议:〔serious〕The judge's tone was solemn as he pronounced sentence on the convicted murderer.当法官宣布对被证明有罪的杀人犯的判决时语气很严肃。〔saccharine〕Having a cloyingly sweet attitude, tone, or character:奉承的:有甜的发腻的态度、语气或性格的:〔jussive〕A word, mood, or form used to express command.命令式,命令词,命令语气:用来表达命令的单词、语气或词形〔emotion〕spoke unsteadily in a voice that betrayed his emotion.See Synonyms at feeling 以情绪不正常的语气断断续续地说话 参见 feeling〔also〕 Also is more formal in tone thantoo: Also 在语气上比too更正式: 〔spoken〕soft-spoken; plainspoken.语气轻松的;语气平淡的〔duh〕Used to express disdain for something deemed stupid or obvious, especially a self-evident remark.鄙视口气:对于愚蠢或显而易见事件的鄙视语气,尤其用于不用言语来表达评论〔conditional〕A mood, tense, clause, or word expressing a condition.条件(从句):表示条件的语气、时态、从句或词〔bad〕 Evil, a stronger term,adds tobad connotations of depravity and corruptive influence: Evil 是语气较严重的词语,还含有bad 中堕落、腐败影响的含义: 〔jagged〕"not a stutter exactly but a jagged sound, as if the words were being broken-off from some other, stronger current of words deep inside"(Anne Tyler)“这完全不是口吃,而是未被修饰过的声音,似乎这语言是从另一处迸发出来的,强有力的语气深入人心”(安妮·泰勒)〔yammer〕To utter or say in a complaining or clamorous tone.大声抱怨地说:以抱怨或吵嚷的语气说话〔this〕 This informal usage is best avoided in formal writing except where conversational tone is deliberately being sought.See Usage Note at that 除非有意使用对话语气,这种非正式用法最好避免用于正式文体中 参见 that〔annoy〕 Peeve, somewhat informal in tone, suggests rather minor disturbance that produces a querulous, resentful response: Peeve 语气上有些非正式,指很小的干扰引起了牢骚的,怨恨的反应: 〔notation〕A system of figures or symbols used in a specialized field to represent numbers, quantities, tones, or values:标志:图案或符号系统,用在特殊领域表示数字、数量、语气或价值:〔innate〕 Inborn, however, is strongest in implying that something has been present since birth: Inborn 在表示与生俱来的事物方面语气最强: 〔dadgum〕Used as an intensive to express mild annoyance.See Regional Note at damned 唉,真是:用来表示微恼的语气强调词 参见 damned〔bear〕 Abide and the more emphaticsuffer suggest resignation and forbearance: Abide 及语气更强烈的suffer 指顺从、听任、容忍、自制: 〔get〕Used with the past participle of transitive verbs as a passive voice auxiliary:被:作为被动语气助动词而与及物动词的过去分词连用:〔interfere〕 Interfere andmeddle are sometimes interchangeable.
