音变规则
升调,表示不确定,话没有说完,或者礼貌,经常用于以下几类句型中:
(1) 一般疑问句
Is he coming tonight?
Have you got the ticket?
(2) 反问句
You are definitely coming?
You like it?
(3) 表示安慰或者鼓励
Come with us.
(4) 重复
When did you come ?
用降调表示完结的情况
(1) 陈述句
You came on Tuesday.
I’d like some tea.
(2) 特殊疑问句
When did you come?
What’s the time ?
(3) 带命令口吻的祈使句
Put it over
Go and find it
(4) 感叹句
What an awful film that was!
如果要表示说话人改变主意,或者言外之意,就可以让降升调大显身手了:
(1)含有对比的陈述句
You can come on Tuesday but not Monday.
He doesnt want it but his brother may.
(2 ) 含有保留意见的陈述句
I know his face.
I like the colour of your dress.
(3) 否定或者矛盾
I cant do it .You can.
(4) 警告
Be careful.Don’t be late.
