英语句子中的升调和降调

大家好，今天我们来看下你们困惑的一点，就是英语句子什么时候读升调，什么时候读降调，怎么样讲出来的英文听起来流利、自然又很地道。

语调，其实就是人说话的腔调，高高低低，平平仄仄，抑扬轻重的变化。英语有五种基本腔调：升调，降调，升降调，降升调，平调。同样的句子，语调不同，意义不同。

首先，我们来看看升调。什么是升调呢？

升调：常用来表示不肯定，语意未完，或表示含蓄、委婉、安慰、虚心征求意见等。

升调可以归类为以下五种:

1、一般疑问句通常用升调

如：Is he making a ↗kite?

Are you from ↗Japan?

Is her sister doing her homework↗ now?

Does he work in a ↗bank?

Do you live near your ↗school?

Can you speak ↗French?

May I go home ↗now?

Are you in Class 2Grade ↗4?

(总之，一般疑问句，最后升上去)

2、数数、列举事物或列举一连串的动作时，除了最后那个并列成分用降调，所有并列部分用升调。

eg:

1、↗One、↗two、↗three、↗four、↘five. We have ↘five new books.

2、I like↗ jumping， ↗swimming，↗skating and↘ skiing.

3、I"d like a battle of↗ juice, a cup of ↗coffee, a↗ hamburger and two↘ cakes.

（遇到举列子，并列升最后降）

3、选择疑问句，Or前面用升调，Or后用降调。“前升后降”

eg:Would you like a cup of↗ tea or a glass of ↘milk?

Do you like to go ↗outside or stay at↘ home?

Where do you live, in ↗shandong or in ↘Hebei?

What would you like, an ↗apple or an↘ orange?

（选择疑问句，Or 前升，Or 后降）

4、反义疑问句

情况一：对自己陈述的问题无把握，陈述部分用降调，疑问部分用升调。

Your uncle is↘ tall,↗isn"t he?

No,he is very short.

Your sisiter is↘ thin,↗isn"t she?

No,she is fat.

（说话无把握，陈述降，疑问升。）

反义疑问句：

情况二：对自己陈述的问题有把握，前后都用降调。

It"s a ↘nice day,↘isn"t it?

Yes, it is.

It"s a ↘beautiful dress,↘isn"t it?

Yes,It is.

（说话有把握，前后都要降。）

5、含状语从句的复合句

情况一：主句在前，从句在后，全用降调。

I was listening to↘ music when my father came↘ in.

情况二：从句在前，主句在后，前升后降。

When she got to the bus ↗stop,the bus had already ↘left.

降调：英语中，降调的使用更为广泛，它表示肯定、决断、坚决或终结，但有时含有生硬、不容置疑的意味。降调有七种用法：

1、陈述句用降调。

I like ↘swimming.

2、特殊疑问句用降调

what happened to her ↘car?

4、表示命令的祈使句用降调

Jimmy，Open the↘ door.

5、感谢用语常用降调

↘Thank you!

6、感叹句用降调

What a↘ lovely boy!

7、并列句，前升后降。

He opened the↗ door and the officer↘ walked in.
