Why don't you help your
mother with the housework?
為什么不幫媽媽做些家務(wù)活呢?
這是一個否定的特殊疑問句,這個句子也可用“Why not + 動詞原形”來表達(dá)同樣的意思。
—Daddy, I don't know what to do for the holiday? 爸爸,我不知道假期該做些什么?
—Why don't you ?help your mother with the housework? 為什么不幫媽媽做些家務(wù)活呢?
注意:同樣也可以表示建議的How about... 和What about... 中的 about是介詞,所以當(dāng)后面接動詞時,就要將動詞變成動名詞。
例句:
Why don't you buy a scarf? ?為什么不買一條圍巾呢?
Why not join us? 為什么不加入我們呢?
How about playing tennis? 打網(wǎng)球怎么樣?
How about going to the cinema? 去看電影怎么樣?
What about getting her a scarf? 給她買條圍巾如何?
What's up? 怎么回事呢?
—I need your help. 我需要你的幫助。
—Oh, what's up? 哦,怎么回事呢?
—I locked myself out. What do you suggest I do? 我把自己鎖在外頭了,你說說看我該怎么做?
—Well, the best thing to do is to go down to the reception desk and ask for a duplicate key. 嗯,最好的辦法就是下樓到服務(wù)臺去拿把復(fù)制鑰匙。
注意:與What's up?用法和意義類似的還有:
What's the matter?
What's happening?
What's wrong?
例句:
—Hi. What's happening? 嗨,怎么回事呢?
—Nothing much. 沒什么。
