英语中除了五大类常见感叹句外(前期文章有论述),还有一种特殊的感叹句,就是用疑问句来表示感叹句。请看:
1.英语中常可用否定疑问句表示感叹句。句末用感叹号。如:
Aren't they lovely!他们多么好看啊!
Isn't that nice of them!他们多么好啊!
Isn't the weather nice! 天气多么好呀!
Hasn't she grown! 她长这么大了!
Isn't it cold! 天气好冷啊!
Hasn't she got lovely eyes! 她的眼睛多可爱呀!
Isn't she a dear!她是一个多么可爱的人啊!
Don't the roses smell!多么芳香的玫瑰啊!
2.美国人和一些英国人用一般普通的(非否定)疑问句形式来表示感叹句,句末用感叹号。如:
Did he annoy me!
他多惹我生气呀!
Can Tom type!汤姆字打得多么好啊!
Am I mad! 我恼火极了!
Was I furious! 我生气极了!
Boy, am I hungry! 孩子,我饿极了!
Wow, did she make a mistake! 噢,她的确犯错误了!
Have you got a surprise coming! 马上有件让你惊喜的事呀!
老外还喜欢用陈述句、祈使句、独词或短语等表示感叹而用成感叹句,如:
That is the best/worst of it!那是多么好(坏)啊!
Go it!继续努力!
Do give over!
停止!
Great!太好了!
Here comes the car!小车来了!
There it goes! 它走了!
As if I would allow it!好像我会答应似的!
If (only) you could /you could only have seen it!
我真希望你当时能看到它!
If only he arrives in time!
他若能及时到达就好了!
My god!(Dear me!)我的天啊!上帝啊!
