第九集 - 母语者英语：反意疑问句

大家好，欢迎收听由我帕特里克主持的简单英语播客。

Hello and welcome to the Easy English Podcast with me, Patrick.

还有我，安德烈。

And me, Andre.

最近天气真的很热，对吧？

Well, it's been really hot recently, hasn't it?

是的，确实很热。

It has.

热得不得了。

It's so hot.

夏天终于来了，对吧？

Summer has finally arrived, hasn't it?

是的，夏天来了，但我一点都高兴不起来。

Yes, it has and I am not happy about it at all.

那么今天我们聊什么？

So what are we talking about today?

今天，我们来谈谈疑问句尾。

Today, we're talking about question tags.

疑问句尾。

Question tags.

那么，我们怎么使用疑问句尾呢？

So how do we use question tags?

我们把疑问句尾放在句子末尾，把陈述句变成疑问句。

We put question tags at the end of sentences to make them into questions.

好的。

Okay.

比如，今天很热，不是吗？

So for example, it's hot today, isn't it?

是的。

Yes.

Isn't it 是疑问句尾。

Isn't it is the question tack.

我们使用疑问句尾有两种原因。

And there are two reasons we use question tags.

首先，为了确认信息。

First, to check information.

例如，会议是在10点，对吧？

For example, the meeting is at 10:00, isn't it?

哦，是的，确实是。

Oh yes it is.

所以第二种用法是当我们认为对方和我们想法一致的时候。

So the second way to use this is when we think the person is thinking the same thing as us.

所以我可能会说，这部新手机真的很酷，不是吗？

So I might say, oh, this new phone is really cool, isn't it?

或者今天真的很热，不是吗？

Or it's really hot today, isn't it?

所以使用疑问句尾能让你听起来更像母语者，对吧？

So question tags are really useful to sound just like a native, aren't they?

是的，它们很有用。

Yes, they are.

所以，当我们遇到一个不太熟悉或根本不认识的人时，我们可以使用疑问句来轻松地与他们交谈。

So perhaps we're meeting somebody who we don't know or don't know very well, we can use a question tag to talk to them quite easily.

例如，我们可能看到他们在吃一道辣咖喱，然后说：哦，这道咖喱很辣，对吧？

So for example, we might see that they're eating a spicy curry and say, oh, that curry is spicy, isn't it?

或者我们可能会谈论我们的工作，你知道的。

Or we might talk about the our work, know.

哦，今天真的特别忙。

Oh, today is really busy.

对吧？

Isn't it?

是的。

Yeah.

听起来更友好。

It sounds more friendly.

好的。

Okay.

我们来谈谈疑问句尾的规则。

Let's talk about the rules for question tags.

所以有四条规则。

So there are four rules.

第一条规则是关于助动词，比如

Rule number one is about auxiliary verbs like

能。

can.

你会弹吉他，对吧？

You can play guitar, can't you?

应该。

Should.

我们应该做作业，对吧？

We should do our homework, shouldn't we?

有。

Have.

你去过东京，不是吗？

You have been to Tokyo, haven't you?

所以规则是，疑问句部分使用与主句相同的动词。

So the rule is you use the same verb in the question tag.

所以如果是 can，就用 can't。

So if it's can you use can't.

如果是 should，就用 shouldn't；如果是 have，就用 haven't。

If it's should you use shouldn't and if you use have you use haven't.

好的，再仔细听一遍例子。

Okay listen to the examples again carefully.

你会弹吉他，不是吗？

You can play the guitar, can't you?

我们应该做作业，不是吗？

We should do our homework, shouldn't we?

你去过东京，对吧？

You have been to Tokyo, haven't you?

好的。

Okay.

规则二。

Rule two.

这是用于be动词，比如is、was、are。

This is for be verbs like is, was, are.

这里有一些例子。

So here are some examples.

所以是is。

So is.

这咖喱真的很辣，不是吗？

This curry is really hot, isn't it?

was。

Was.

那节课很难，不是吗？

That class was difficult, wasn't it?

是。

Are.

我们今天要去旅行，对吧？

We're going on a trip today, aren't we?

所以对于第二条规则，它和第一条一样。

So for rule two, it's the same as number one.

你重复相同的动词。

You repeat the same verb.

好的，第三条规则是针对一般现在时的动词。

Okay, rule three is for present simple verbs.

比如像like、play、want这样的规则动词。

So regular verbs like like, play, want for example.

这条规则有点不同。

The rule is a little different.

我们不使用相同的动词。

We don't use the same verb.

对于这些动词，我们在疑问句中使用do。

For these verbs we use do in the question tag.

所以例如像。

So for example like.

你喜欢电子游戏，是吗？

You like video games don't you?

玩。

Play.

他踢足球，是吗？

He plays soccer doesn't he?

不是。

No.

他们认识武志，是吗？

They know Takeshi, don't they?

好的，这是第三条规则，第四条规则类似，但适用于过去简单时的动词。

Okay so this is rule three and rule four is similar but it's for past simple verbs.

比如过去式的动词 went。

So past verbs like went.

你昨天去电影院了，是吧？

You went to the movie theater yesterday, didn't you?

吃了。

Ate.

你吃了我的午餐，是吧？

You ate my lunch, didn't you?

看。

Watch.

我们以前看过这个节目，是吧？

We watched this show before, didn't we?

所以这些动词，我们在疑问句中只需用 did。

So these verbs we just use did in the question tag.

好的。

Okay.

那么，今天的简易英语播客就到这里了。

So that's it for today's easy English podcast.

I hope you learned something new.

那我这边就先告辞了。

So that's goodbye for me.

我这边也告辞了。

And goodbye for me.

下次见。

See you next time.

再见。

See you.
