含有or的问句称为选择疑问句。or之前的部分读升调,之后的部分读降调。这种疑问句不能简单地用Yes或No 来回答。选择疑问句把选择的余地缩小在数目有限的事物、行动等上面,可以有无限性的选择、3项选择以及两项选择。选择疑问句通常可以采用缩略形式,如:

Beef or lamb? 牛肉还是羔羊肉?

选择疑问句的例句如:

What would you like to drink? 你喜欢喝什么?(无限性选择)

Which/What would you prefer, tea or coffee? 茶和咖啡,你喜欢哪一种?(两项选择)

Would you like tea, coffee, or milk? 你喜欢茶、咖啡、还是牛奶?(3项选择)

选择疑问句是英语中一种特殊的疑问句类型,它提供了有限的选项供回答者选择。这种疑问句的特点是在or之前和之后使用不同的语调,并且不能简单地用“是”或“否”来回答。以下是对选择疑问句的进一步详细整理和说明:

  1. 无限性选择:当选择疑问句提供无限的可能性时,回答者可以根据实际情况给出答案。
    • 例句:What would you like to eat?(你想吃什么?)
    • 解释:这个问题提供了无限的可能性,回答者可以选择任何他们想吃的食物。
  2. 两项选择:当选择疑问句提供两个选项时,回答者需要在这两个选项之间做出选择。
    • 例句:Do you want to watch a movie or go for a walk?(你想看电影还是去散步?)
    • 解释:这个问题提供了两个选项,回答者需要选择其中一个。
  3. 多项选择:当选择疑问句提供三个或更多的选项时,回答者可以从中选择一个或多个答案。
    • 例句:Which of these fruits do you like: apples, bananas, or oranges?(你喜欢这些水果中的哪些:苹果、香蕉还是橙子?)
    • 解释:这个问题提供了三个选项,回答者可以选择一个或多个他们喜欢的水果。
  4. 缩略形式:在口语中,选择疑问句可以采用缩略形式,使句子更加简洁。
    • 例句:Tea or coffee?(茶还是咖啡?)
    • 解释:这是一个缩略形式的选择疑问句,询问对方想喝茶还是咖啡。
  5. 使用助动词:在某些情况下,选择疑问句可以使用助动词来构成,尤其是在需要强调时。
    • 例句:Did you go there, or did you stay home?(你去了那里,还是留在家里?)
    • 解释:这个问题使用助动词did来强调选择。
  6. 回答选择疑问句:回答选择疑问句时,通常需要明确指出所选择的选项。
    • 例句:Which do you prefer, tea or coffee?(茶和咖啡,你更喜欢哪一个?)
    • 回答:I prefer tea.(我更喜欢茶。)
    • 解释:回答者明确指出了他们的选择。

选择疑问句在日常交流中非常常见,特别是在需要对方做出选择或决定时。掌握选择疑问句的结构和用法对于提高英语沟通能力非常重要。
