Doesn't Karen Marsh look old! 是什么用法

       新概念英语第一册127课

       KATE: Can you recognize that woman,Liz?

  LIZ: I think I can, Kate. It must be Karen Marsh, the actress.

  KATE: I thought so. Who's that beside her?

  LIZ: That must be Conrad Reeves.

  KATE: Conrad Reeves, the actor?It's can't be.Let me have another look. I think you're right! Isn't he her third husband?

  LIZ: No. He must be her fourth or fifth.

  KATE: Doesn't Karen Marsh look old!

  LIZ: She does, doesn't she! I read she's twenty-nine, but she must be at least forty.

  KATE: I'm sure she is.

  LIZ: She was a famous actress when I was still at school.

  KATE: That was a long time ago, wasn't it?

  LIZ: Not that long ago! I'm not more than twenty-nine myself.


  1. Doesn't Karen Marsh look old!这句话是什么意思?为什么要加感叹号?这个句子不是一般否定疑问句吗?

  2. She does, doesn't she!这句话是什么意思?为什么要加感叹号?

  3. read she's twenty-nine, but she must be at least forty.这里read意思是看她那张脸知道她是29岁,还是从书上阅读知道她是29岁?

  4. Not that long ago! 为什么没有主语和谓语?是不是It was not that long ago!的省略?

1 read that从句:通过阅读文字信息而得知某情况。

《牛津词典》

read that...  : discover by reading

I read that he had resigned. 我从报纸上得知他辞职了。

I read she's twenty-nine, but she must be at least forty.

媒体报道说她29岁,但我看她肯定至少有40岁。

如果是”领会、看出她是29岁“,怎么还会肯定的推断她至少40岁。这不是矛盾吗?

结合后面的修辞性问句表示的”她看上去真老啊!”,可知她29岁是报纸或时尚杂志披露的女星年龄,而不是说话人看出来的年龄。

2 反意问句的疑问部分主语必须用人称代词,不能重复指示代词that,而需要用人称代词it。

3 同理,别人用that指代某事物,你紧接着提及那个事物时,要用人称代词,而不是重复指示代词。例如:

Is that a pen?

Yes, it's a pen. 而不说 Yes,that's a pen.

所以,not that long ago是It's not that long ago的省略,而不是That's not that long ago的省略。

避免重复,使用人称代词替代,是英语的特点之一。

4 程度副词that修饰long, that long再修饰ago. not that long ago中,ago是中心词。

1. Doesn't Karen Marsh look old! 这句话是什么意思?为什么要加感叹号?这个句子不是一般否定疑问句吗?

【答】这属于修辞格之一:反问句,用以表达强烈的肯定意义。反问句用问号是完全可以的,但说话者为了表达强烈的肯定意义,故使用了叹号代替问号!从表意上讲,以下两句相等,但后者语气更加强烈:

Doesn't Karen Marsh look old? = Doesn't Karen Marsh look old!

2. She does, doesn't she! 这句话是什么意思?为什么要加感叹号?

【答】这是反义疑问句。前面肯定,附加问句否定。——这是说话人渴求对方的肯定回答。原本也是应该使用问号,但为了强调肯定效果而加了叹号。

3. I read she's twenty-nine, but she must be at least forty.这里read意思是看她那张脸知道她是29岁,还是从书上阅读知道她是29岁?

【答】read 既可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,可接名词、代词、带疑问词的动词不定式、that 从句或疑问词从句作宾语。

read 跟宾语从句时,意思是“领会;看出来”。结合本句的意思,可以翻译成“从外表看出”。所以,网友的第一种理解正确。

4. Not that long ago! 为什么没有主语和谓语?是不是It was not that long ago!的省略?

【答】是的,属于承前省略了That was。这是回答前文的反义问句,也是增加了叹号,加重了语气。重新看对话便知:

KATE: That was a long time ago, wasn't it?

LIZ: Not that long ago!
