5. That’s why …is used to give a reason:
--Frank and Ellen have three children now.
--That’s why they moved house. They needed more space.
--Ian’s not been feeling well recently, has he?
--No. That’s why he’s taken some time off.
6. Why should … is used when we are annoyed about something:
Why should old people have to worry about health insurance?
Note:Why should I? as a response is very direct and rude.
A is a mother and B is a child who is opening and closing the car window
A: Stop doing that.
B: Why should I?
7. “Why not ...?” is used to make a suggestion:
If you’re so unhappy, why not leave?
8. “Why not ...?” is used to express agreement:
--May I go with you? 我可以和你一起去嗎?
--Why not? 可以呀 。
--Let's go out for an Italian tonight.
--Yes, why not?
9. used to insist on his own opinions or ideas:
--Are you really going to sue them? 你真的要控告他們嗎?
--Yes, why not? 是的,為什么不呢?
Note:We must use the infinitive without “to” in the questions beginning with “why not” or “why”. But Why not is used to make a suggestion and why is used to indicate that an action is unnecessary and meaningless.
--My girl-friend is in a bad mood. 我女朋友心情不好 。
--Why not (Why don’t you) give her some flowers? 為什么不送給她一些花呢?
Why argue with him? He will never change his mind. 為什么跟他爭論?他永遠不會改變看法的 。
根據上述why以及why not的用法,我們有理由可判斷本文開頭中所提仁愛版八上第三單第三話題中的Section B P73中的Why,應該是Why not 。
Why not?只表示建議嗎?看看他的多重含義
昨天跟戰友們講了個關于建議的句型,我們學到Why not....為什么不...呢?表示建議 。當然這個句型有時候并不代表建議,他還有其他的用法 。
1,可以用來詢問原因:為什么?
a:You should not smoke.
你不應該吸煙 。
b: Why not ?
為什么?
2,堅持自己的觀點
a:Are you really going to sue them?
你真的要起訴他們嗎?
b:Yes ,Why not ?
3,表示贊成
a; Can I go with you?
我能跟你一起去嗎?
b: Why not?
為什么不呢?
