英语中的插入语

分句作插入语Р常作插入语的分句有I think (我认为), I hope (我希望), I’m afraid (我恐怕), what’s more (而且), what’s worse (更糟糕的是), you see (你清楚)等。РThat will be a good beginning, I hope.? 希望这是一个良好的开端。?We’ll have to book our tickets in advance, I’m afraid. 我看我们得提前订票。?That dictionary, you know, is meant chiefly for Chinese students. 那本字典你知道主要是为中国学生编写的。Р注意:在句子That dictionary, you know, is meant chiefly for Chinese students中,如果把you know 放在句首,它就变成主句,这样整个句子就变成含宾语从句的主从复合句,即You know that dictionary is meant chiefly for Chinese students.Р常见的用来作这类补加成分的结构有I think, I hope, I guess, I believe, I suppose, I wonder, you see, you know, don’t you think, I know等。这些结构可以放在句末,也可在句中。在问句中有时也用这种插入语。РWhen do you think he’ll be back?? 你认为他什么时候会回来?РHow long did she say she would stay here??她说要在这里呆多久?РWhat do you suppose is the best?? 你猜测什么是最好的?
