3.语调可以反应谈话人的互动性。如:
9)A:Are you Mr.Blake?
B:Yes.(↙)
A:Room twenty-six.
在这个例子中,B用降调说“Yes”,表示B的认可,这是一个封闭式的回答,这表明如果A没有新的问题要问或新的信息要告知,也许他们的对话就可以结束了。
10)A:Are you Mr.Blake?
B:Yes?(↗)
A:Ah,the secretary would like a word with you.
在这个例子中,B用升调回答“Yes”,表示这是一个开放式的回答,相当于:“Yes. But why do you ask?”或是“Yes.But who want to know?”之意。这也就是说,B在回答A的问题的同时又向A提出了一个新问题,并要求A予以回答。
掌握了这一点之后,对于下面的对话所提问的问题,就不难回答了。
11)M:How long shall we stay at the Grand Canyon?
W:A day?(↗)
Q:What does the woman mean?(B)
[A]We shall stay at the Grand Canyon for one day.
[B]Shall we stay at the Grand Canyon for one day?
[C]To stay at the Grand Canyon for one day is too short.
