语调
语调:在说话或朗读时声调的抑扬叫作语调。
英语的基本语调分为“降调”和“升调”两种,主要表现为语句末尾语调的降与升。
降调的基本意义是“肯定”和“完结”,用语调符号“ ”表示。
升调的基本意义是“不确定”和“未完结”,可表示犹豫、怀疑、婉转、含蓄、试探等含义。,用语调符号“ ”表示。
降调一般用于陈述句、特殊疑问句、选择疑问句的后半部分、祈使句和感叹句等。
陈述句
特殊疑问句
祈使句
感叹句
It's time to get ↘up.
When does he go to ↘bed?
Do you want tea or coffee↘?
Don't run in the ↘hallways.
What a nice ↘day!
选择疑问句的后半部分
Are you ready↗?

升调通常用于一般疑问句、陈述句表示疑问的各类句子,以及表示意思未完的各种情况。
一般疑问句
陈述句表示疑问
表示意思未完
Tip 1:
在列举事物时,前面的各件事物都用升调,最后一件事物用降调。
Tip 2:
升调可以用于说话者不能确定信息是否准确,需要对方核实的情况。
A: I’m putting the mixture into the oven. What temperature
and time should I set?
B: 160 ↘degrees, 50 ↘minutes.
A: 160 ↗degrees? 50 ↗minutes?

同一句话用不同语调表达时,意义也会
有所不同。
(1) Be ↘quiet. (表示命令)

(2) I’m ↗sorry. (比较随意)
I’m ↘sorry. (比较真诚)
(3) You will go to the party, ↗won’t you?
