单词 | 陈述句 |
释义 | 〔wish〕 Both usages are likely to sound stilted in informal style, however. ?Whenwish precedes a subordinate clause containing a contrary-to-fact statement, strict grammatical correctness requires that one usewere rather than was : I wish I were (not was ) lighter on my feet. Many writers continue to insist on this rule,but precedent for using the indicativewas in such clauses can be found in the works of many writers, including King Alfred and Jonathan Swift. See Usage Note at if ,want 但这两种用法在非正式文体中会显得不自然。当wish 后面接一个与事实相反的陈述句作从属分句时, 按严格的语法来说,应在从句中用were 代替 was : I wish I were (不是 was ) lighter on my feet(多希望我能步履轻盈。) 许多作家仍坚持这条规则,但在从句中用表陈述的was 可在许多作家包括金·阿尔弗雷德和约纳森·斯威夫特的作品中找到先例 参见 if,want〔optative〕Designating a statement using a verb in the subjunctive mood to indicate a wish or desire, as inHad I the means, I would do it. 虚拟语气动词的:在虚拟语气中用动词表达陈述句,表明一种愿望或要求,如在Had I the means, I would do it. 中 〔uptalk〕A manner of speaking in which declarative sentences are uttered with a rising intonation as though they were questions.升调讲话:一种讲话方式,表达陈述句时语调上升,似乎是使用疑问句〔go〕Go has long been used to describe the production of nonlinguistic noises, as inThe train went "toot.” The cow goes "moo.” In recent years, however,younger speakers have extended this use ofgo to the report of speech, as inThen he goes, "You think you're real smart, don't you.” For speakers young enough to get away with it,this usage serves a useful purpose in informal spoken narrative as an explicit indicator of a direct quotation, particularly when the speaker wishes to mimic the accent or intonation of the original spoken source.Largely restricted to the "narrative present" used in vivid description,it is highly inappropriate in formal speech or writing.Go 很久以来用来描述非语言学上的发声, 如在火车发出“突突”声, 牛“哞哞”地叫。 然而,近些年来,年轻的演讲者把go 的这一用法运用到演讲报告中去了, 如在接着他说道,“你认为你 的确 聪明,是吗?” 。 由于年轻人太年轻了而被人们忽视了这一误用,这一用法在非正式口语中作为直接引语的明显的指示词起到十分有益的作用,尤其在说话者想模仿原口语材料的重音或语调时,这一作用更明显。主要用于生动形象的“描述”里,限于陈述句现在时中,在正式的演讲或书面语中十分不适用 |
