感嘆句的八種特殊表達法
感嘆句一般由how或者what引起。例如:
what a wonderful time we ever had together. 我們曾經一起度過了多麼美好的時光啊。
how i longed for those carefree days. 我多麼嚮往那些無憂無慮的歲月啊。
但除此之外,還有以下八種特殊形式的感嘆句:
1. 以if或if only起首引起的感嘆句,用於表示願望、意外、驚奇等:
if only i had known her earlier. 要是我早點認識她就好了。
if he hasn』t gone and got into trouble with the police! 他竟然跟**惹上了麻煩!
if that』s not the best idea i』ve heard in a long time. 很久沒聽到過這麼好的意見了啊!
2. 以to think that或to think of 起首的感嘆句:
to think of my le**ing the umbrella in the train. 真沒想到我把傘落在了火車上。
to think of his not knowing about it! 想想看,他對此事竟一無所知!
3. 以who起首的感嘆句,表示驚奇:
who would h**e thought it! 誰能想得到啊!
who else could h**e done it! 還有誰會做這件事情!
4. 以off, away, here, there等起首的感嘆句:
here it begins! 這就開始啦!
there! you』ve gone and woken the baby! 看!你一去就把孩子吵醒了!
away with all these petty restrictions! 廢除一切煩瑣限制!
off with you at once! 馬上給我滾!
5. 疑問句的肯定式或否定式表示感嘆:
was i excited! 我是多麼激動呀!
hasn』t she grown! 她長這麼大了!

how can he be so broad-minded! 他的胸懷是多麼寬廣!
isn』t she clever! 她真聰明!
am i hungry! 我多麼餓呀!
aren』t you lucky! 你真走運!
注:疑問句的否定形式表感嘆時,必須用縮略形式n』t,否則就成了否定疑問句。例如:
has she not grown up?就是否定疑問句,意為:「她還沒有長大**嗎?
」6. 以that起首的感嘆句表示願望、遺憾:
oh, that she were here. 哦,要是她在這就好了!
that it should ever come to this. 事情竟然會弄到這種地步!
7. 以so和such強調的感嘆句:
the little boy is so clever. 這小男孩真聰明!
it was such terrible writing. 寫得真糟糕!
8. 短語感嘆句:
free at last! free at last! thank god almighty, we are free at last!
終於自由了!終於自由了!感謝上帝,我們終於自由了!
