whether 连词或代词词性都不能作为疑问词

来源:互联网 发布:41478网络电视直播 编辑:程序博客网 时间:2024/04/28 07:54

whether作为“是否”讲却没有疑问意味

从可行性上进行分析:

我们知道一般疑问句和特殊疑问句,其句子,都是助动词(be,will,could,do等)提前到主语之前了。

把一个陈述句的助动词提前,变成一般疑问句,那么这句话就表示“……是否……?”这样的疑问了。

所以在一般疑问句里,我们不需要whether来表示疑问含义。

那么whether能引导起来特殊疑问句吗?显然也不能,前面有文章说过,特殊疑问词,是代替了原陈述句中的某一因素,缺的是什么,就用what,缺的是人,就用who,缺的是什么人的,就用whose,缺的是原因,就用why,等等。那么whether能代替句子中的什么因素么?显然是不能的。所以它也构成不了特殊疑问句。


从词性上:

whether在现代英语中是连词,用来引导从句。

其意义为“是还是否,不管是不是”,

--主句--|||||||| ---从句---
I don't know whether you like flowers, sir.
先生,我不知道您喜欢还是不喜欢花。

-----主句------|||||||| -------从句---------
We'll go on with the work, whether we can find the necessary tools or not.
我们要把这件工作做下去,不管我们能不能找到所需的工具。


这样来看,我们就可以体会到它并没有疑问意味。

=================================

我们知道,一句话说完,就要加句号“。”“.”。

但有很多句子,从语法角度来分析,明明可以看作是两句话,但它们之间却是逗号“,”。这就是因为,这两个句子甚至多个句子之间,联系是紧密的,是围绕着一个事情的。

那么这两个或多个句子它们就叫做并列句、主从句,有从属关系的,就是主从句。没有从属关系,而是表示同一个含义(引申),表示不同含义(转折,选择,对比),表示因果关系的,这样的句子就是并列句。

在语言里,也就有相应的连词,用来连接这样的关系紧密的两个或多个句子。而连词不止连接两个句子,还被用来连接词语或者短语。

引导句子的时候,它们叫做并列连词或者从属连词。只在它们后面跟短语,或仅仅只跟单词,那时候它们就只叫连词,而不是从属连词了。


在英语里,

常见的表示语义引申的并列连词有: and 、 neither…nor 、both…and 、not only... but also 、as well as,它们分别可以对应汉语中的连词:

           and——“而且,以及”,
   neither…nor——“既不会也不会”
   both…and   ——“既…又”
not only...but also——“不止…还,不止…而且”
      as well as——“同时,并且”

1. and

Justice is on your side,and justice will triumph over injustice. 正义在你们一边,而正义是会战胜邪恶的。

除了表示选择外,or和either... or还可以译为“否则”:

Now I must go, or I shall be late for the party. 我现在得走了,否则晚会我就要迟到了。

表示转折或对比的并列连词有:
but ——但是

yet ——仍旧
however——然而,可是,不过(它还有的别词性,副词)
nevertheless ——然而,不过

1. but

表示因果关系的并列连词有: 【值得注意的是,下面这四个单词,再加上从属连词because(因为),它们在表示“因为所以”的意思时,只用一个就可以,不能“因为”“所以”都用上。说了“因为”,就不再说“所以”,说了“所以”,也不再说“因为”。
还有though表示“虽然”,but表示“但是”,句子中只要有其中之一就可以,不能“though”“but”都用。

还有“既然”seeing that、considering that,和“那么”so也不能都用。从下列例句中请加以体会】

for——因为
so——所以,因此
therefore ——所以
hence ——因此


1. for

引导目的状语从句的从属连词有:

引导名词性从句的连词:whether (or not),if

I don't know whether (=if) these figures are accurate. 我不知道这些数字是否精确。

需要注意的是:whether (or not) 可引导大部分名词性从句;if仅可引导宾语从句,而且不可跟or not。例如:

Whether (≠if) they will come or not won't make much difference. 他们来不来关系不大。

I wonder if (=whether) she has received our telegram. 我不知道她是否收到了我们的电报。

还有一个使用率最高的从属连词“that”。它在句子中本身是没有意义的。只是用来把从句和主句分开,但不用它也可以。用了的话,在写作和讲话中,能让人更轻易的分辨出句子结构以方便理解。

(引导名词从句)
He expressed the hope that we would keep in touch with his firm.

他表示希望我们与他的公司保持联系。

My idea is that we should act on his suggestion.

我的意见是我们应当按照他的建议去办。

(引导状语从句)

for ,because,as,since这四个词作为连词,都有"因为"的意思,但它们在用法上有区别:


because 是从属连词,接表示直接原因的从句,一般放在主句的后面,也可放在主句前面,它表示的语气最强,在回答why的问句时,必须用because。

例如:The swimming pool won't be open today because they're making repairs.

游泳池今天不开放,因为他们在修理。

Why did you move to France?

你们为什么搬到法国?

Because my father found work in Paris.

因为我父亲在巴黎找到了工作。

注意:在英语中用了because后,不可再用so。


as 是从属连词,说明一般的因果关系,语气比because弱,说明比较明显的原因,它引导的从句通常放在句首,有时也可放在句末。

例如:As it is raining, you\'d better take a taxi.

天下雨了,你最好乘出租车。


since 意为"既然",表示对方已知的无需加以说明的原因或事实,语气比because弱,但是比as 强。

例如:Since we have no money, we can't buy that vase.

既然我们没钱,我们就不能买那花瓶。

Since everybody is here, let's begin our party.

既然大家都到了,那就开始我们的聚会吧!


for 是并列连词,用来附带解释说明前一分句的原因或理由,for引导的并列句,一般放在所要说明的句子的后面。

例如:I went to see him, for I had something to tell him.

我去见他,因为我有事要告诉他。
