有一點(diǎn)英語基礎(chǔ)的人都知道把陳述句變?yōu)橐话阋蓡柧涞姆椒?,那就是將動詞提到句首或者在句首加助動詞,比如 "I'm going to school." 變?yōu)榈诙朔Q的一般疑問句就是 "Are you going to school?" 可不要小看這個基礎(chǔ)變形,在英語中,簡略的一般疑問句能夠表現(xiàn)你對另一方說的話很感興趣。比如:
- "I'm going to see the new James Bond film next week."
- "Are you? Let me know what it's like then!"
在以上情景中 "Are you?" 是 "Are you going to see the film?" 的縮略句,在這里的意思不是“你要去嗎?”,而是一種感嘆,意同 "Really?" 或 "Wow!" 即后者對前者說其要去看007新電影一事表示很感興趣,希望他看完回來后告訴自己電影好不好看。我們再來看一個例子:
- "I took a trip to Bangkok last week."
- "Did you? You should have told me—we could have met there! I was in Bangkok over the past few weeks!"
