问句中的升调和降调
一般疑问句用升调结束时升调
· Do you like living in Portland?
· Have you lived here a long time?
· Did you visit your friends last month?
特殊疑问句用降调
· Where are you going to stay on vacation?
· When did you arrive last night?
· How long have you lived in this country?
附加疑问
附加疑问主要用来确认信息或者要求澄清。音调会根据具体情况而改变。
寻求确认的附加疑问
如果你知晓某事,但是想再进行确认,反义疑问句时用降调。
· You live in Seattle, don't you?
· This is easy, isn't it?
· You aren't coming to the meeting, are you?
要求澄清的附加疑问
当用附加疑问来澄清时,用升调使听话者知道你想要得到更多讯息。
· Peter isn't going to be at the party, is he?
· You understand your role, don't you?
· We aren't expected to finish the report by Friday, are we?
句末
一般陈述句句末会降调。然而,当只用少数词做出简短的陈述时,特别最后一个词是单音节词时,用升调则是表达高兴,震惊,同意等情绪。
· That's great!
· I'm free!
· I bought a new car.
当简短陈述末尾是超过一个音节的词时,要用降调。
· Mary is happy.
· We're married.
· They're exhausted.
逗号
当在一系列的多个同等并列的词一起,并用逗号隔开时,前面是有多少个词就都是升调,最后一个词才是降调。
Peter enjoys playing tennis, swimming, hiking, and biking.
· We bought some jeans, two shirts, a pair of shoes, and an umbrella.
· Steve wants to go to Paris, Berlin, Florence, and London.
