—I can39。t agree with you more.You see countless innocent people are killed by drunk drivers each year.(1997年6月)(意思是說后者非常同意第一人的觀點) —How is your business,Bob? —Sales have never been better.(意思是說生意相當(dāng)不錯) Without a doubt;Don39。t mention it;No problem等作為回答的否定句型。這些我們常用的作為回答 的句型,其實在語境中通常是用作肯定的回答,意思是“沒問題”,肯定是這樣的。如: —Do you think we have to review the chapter of Industrial Revolution? —Without a doubt,it will be on the exam. —Do you think you could have this skirt ready by Thursday morning? —No problem.You can e and fetch it. 由一些除not和never之外的否定詞如hardly,seldom ,scarcely,rarely等構(gòu)成的句型。這種句型其 實本身就應(yīng)歸結(jié)為否定句,但筆者將其放到這里是想強調(diào)這些句子如果出現(xiàn)在聽力理解當(dāng)中,學(xué)生經(jīng)常容 易疏忽這些詞的否定意思,因此需特別留意。如: —What a surprise!Tim has improved his English so much after a holiday abroad. —I can hardly hear an accent.(意思是幾乎聽不出有任何地方口音)
