同学们好,到目前为止,我们已经学过的表示职业的名词有: actor, doctor, shop assistant, reporter, policeman, waiter, bank clerk, nurse, teacher, student, worker, officer 等。那么如何对句子中表示职业的名词提问呢?
一般说来,常用的对职业名词进行提问的方法有以下三种:
一、 用“What + do/does + 主语 + do?”句式,这种句式可以用于对各种人称进行提问。例如:
My father is a doctor.What does your father do?
His uncle is an actor.What does his uncle do?
I am a middle school student.What do you do?
二、 用“What + am/is /are + 主语?”句式,但这种句式一般不用于第二人称,因为当面问别人“What are you?”会显得不够礼貌。遇到这种情况,仍可以用“What do you do?”来询问。例如:
Mr Brown is a driver. What is Mr Brown?
Her brother is a waiter. What is her brother?
His parents are teachers. What are his parents?
I’m a bank clerk. What do you do?
对划线部分进行提问时,要对划线部分进行认真分析。
1. 表示职业的名词一般都是泛指的名词,名词前可以有一些表示类别的修饰语。单数名词前一般有不定冠词 a 或 an,比如 a teacher 可以表示职业, an English teacher 也可表示职业,但提问时都应用 what。
2. 当一些表示职业名词的前面出现了限定词, 如形容词性物主代词或名词所有格,那么,这类名词不再表示职业,而是表示“人与人”之间的关系,这时就要用 who 提问。试比较:
Miss Wang is an English teacher.
What does Miss Wang do?/What is Miss Wang?
Miss Wang is our English teacher.
Who is Miss Wang?
三、 对职业提问还可以用“What’s one’s job?”句式。例如:
I am a bank clerk.
What’s your job? 你是干什么工作的?
My father is a policeman.
What’s your father’s job? 你父亲是干什么工作的?
需要特别指出的是,在同英美人士打交道时,一般不要随便问人家的工作或职业。在西方人看来,问这类问题不是闲得无聊,就是有窥探他人隐私之癖,因而会对提问者产生反感。
