【实用英文】“你到底……?”句型大全!Some “on earth” Sentence Patterns
写下这个标题,就想到那首著名的歌。你也想到了?呵呵,那说明咱们是同一个年代的。
来说说“on earth”这个短语的用法。earth我们都知道是我们生活的这个星球,“地球”。加上介词on,不是应该表达“在地球上”吗?
没错,“on earth”是可以表达“在地球上”。比如:
He’s one of the richest men on earth.
他是地球上最富有的人之一。
但当它用于疑问词后时,它的含义就与地球不相关,而是用来加强语气,表达说话人的疑问、质疑、惊讶、不耐烦或生气等情绪。译成中文就是:到底;究竟。
What on earth…?
到底什么……?
What on earth are you doing?
你到底在做什么啊?
What on earth is the problem with you?
你到底怎么啦?
What on earth do you mean?
你到底什么意思啊?

Where on earth…?

大家发现了没有,在以上句子中,加入的on earth并不影响句子原来的顺序、结构,如果去掉,句子一样成立。但是加上on earth,语气就发生了变化。
与on earth这一用法相同的还有另一短语in the world,意思是一样的。给大家留个作业,请把今天所有的例句中的on earth换成in the world说一遍吧。
