第三十二单元【语法点拨】
英语中的语气
语气(the Mood)是动词的又一种形式，表示说话者或写作者对发生的动作或所处
的状况所持的态度和看法。英语有三种语气：陈述语气、祈使语气和虚拟语
气。
▶ 陈述语气
陈述语气表示说话人认为他所说的是现实的、确定的或符合事实的。英语中绝
大部分句子都是陈述语气，用于陈述句、疑问句和某些感叹句。
▶ 祈使语气
祈使语气表示动作或状态是说话人的命令、请求、建议、劝告、叮嘱、愿望或
邀请等。祈使句的句末一般用感叹号，但是有些祈使句的语气较弱，可以用句
号结尾。祈使句一般无主语，主语常省去。使用祈使句时，应注意以下几点:
1、祈使句的主语通常是第二人称you，但多不出现，动词用原形，其否定式一
律用don’t或 do not加动词原形(或be)
• Be (more) careful next time.下次要小心些。
• Don’t smoke here.不要在这儿抽烟。
• Be careful! 小心!
• Stand up! 起立!
• Go and wash your hands.去洗洗手。
• Be quiet, please.请安静。
2、有时为了强调，主语可以出现，而且主语可以是第三人称，谓语动词不加-s
或-es
• You be quiet! 请你们一定安静下来!
• You don’t move! 你不要动!
• He stand up! 他给我站起来!
• Everybody keep quiet! 大家保持安静!
• Don’t say a word anybody! 谁都不要说话!
3、祈使句可用do来加强语气
• Do sit down.务必请坐。
• Do be more patient with the child.对孩子务必要耐心些。
4、在let’s的祈使句后，疑问部分通常用shall we；而在let us后，疑问部分则用
will you
• Let’s go out for a walk after supper, shall we? 咱们晚饭后出去散步好吗?
• Let us clean our classroom, will you? 让我们把教室打扫一下，好吗?
5、在肯定祈使句后, will疑问部分可以是won’t you, would you, can you, could you
等。它们之间的区别是：won’t you常表示邀请, will you或 would you用来告诉人
们该做什么事。但在否定祈使句后，疑问部分则只能用will you。
• Have a cup of coffee, won’t you? 请来一杯咖啡好吗?
• Don’t make so much noise here, will you? 请不要在这里大吵大嚷好吗?
6、祈使句与连接词and连用时相当于一个条件句，而and之后则表示结果，这是
一个很常用的句型
• Think hard and you will have an idea. = If you think hard, you will have an
idea.好好想想你会有办法的。
• Use your head and you'll find a way. =If you use your head, you’ll find a way.
如果你动动脑筋，你就会找到方法。
7、用客气的语气表示祈使句时，可在句首或句尾加上 please，但如果在句尾加
please，在 please之前一般要加一个逗号。
• Go this way, please.请这边走。
8、祈使句中如果有呼唤语，要用逗号隔开，放在句首或句尾。
• Mary, come here.玛丽，过来。
• Come here, Anna.过来，安娜。
9、否定的祈使句：Don’t+动词原形。
• Don’t swim in the river.别在河里游泳。
• Please don’t be noisy.请不要大声喧哗。
• Don’t you stretch your hand out of the window!
你不要把手伸出窗外!
10、let型的否定式有两种:“Don’t+ let+宾语+动词原形+其他成分和“Let+宾语
+not+动词原形+其他成分”。
• Don’t let him go.别让他走。
• Let him not go.(同上)
11、有些可用no开头，用来表示禁止性的祈使句
• No smoking! 禁止吸烟!
• No fishing! 禁止钓鱼!
• No parking here! 此处禁止停车!
• No littering! 禁止乱扔垃圾!
▶ 感叹句
用来表示说话人喜怒哀乐、惊讶或赞美的句子叫感叹句。感叹句用降调，句首
多用how和what，句末用感叹号，其余与陈述句结构相同。
1、what修饰名词或名词短语，有以下两种形式:
▪ What+ a/an+(形容词)+单数可数名词+主语+谓语。
• What an apple this is! 多么大的一只苹果呀!
• What a fine day it is! 多好的天气!
▪ What+(形容词)+可数名词复数或不可数名词+主语+谓语。
• What kind women they are! 她们是多么善良的女人啊!
• What nice music it is!这是多么悠扬的音乐啊!
2、在由how引导的感叹句中，how用来修饰形容词、副词或动词，其结构是：
How+形容词(副词)+主语+谓语。
• How hard the worker is working! 这工人是多么起劲地工作啊!
• How clever the girl is! 这女孩是多么聪明啊!
• How quickly the boy is writing! 这男孩写得多么快啊!
注意：当how修饰动词时，动词不跟着感叹词提到主语之前。
• How the runners run!那位跑步者跑得多么快啊!
3、what与how引导的感叹句，一般情况下可以相互转换，转换后意义不变。
• What an interesting story it is!= How interesting the story is!
这是多么有趣的故事啊!
• What a beautiful building it is! =How beautiful the building is!
这是多么漂亮的大楼啊!
4、在口语中，感叹句的主语和谓语常常省略。
• What a nice present! 多么漂亮的礼物啊!(省略it is)
• How disappointed! 多么失望啊! (省略she is或其他可作本句主、谓的词语)
5、感叹句多以how或what引导，但在口语中，还有一些特殊的感叹句表达形
式。
▪ 以副词here, there, in开头的感叹句
• Here comes the bus! 公共汽车来了!
• There they are! 他们在那儿呢!
▪ 以疑问词who开头，表示惊奇
• Who else will read such a book! 谁还会读这样的书!
▪ 以情态动词may开头，表示愿望
• May you both be happy! 祝二位幸福。
• May you succeed! 祝你成功!
▶ 虚拟语气
虚拟语气表示所说的话与事实相反或实现的可能性很小，或表示愿望、请求和
建议等。英语有两种条件句：真实条件句和非真实条件句。真实条件句表示提
出的假设是完全可以实现的，因此句子的谓语动词用陈述语气。非真实条件句
表示所提出的假设与事实相反或实现的可能性极小，所以句子的谓语动词用虚
拟语气。
• I’d rather you came tomorrow afternoon. 我倒想要你明下午来。
• But for your help, I wouldn’t have succeeded.
要不是你帮忙，我是不会成功的。
• You could get a better job if you spoke a foreign language.
如果你能讲外语，你可以找到一份更好的工作。
• We could have caught the train if we had left a little earlier.
要是我们动身稍早一点我们就能赶上火车了。
