什么是 "I Wonder Why"?
“I wonder why” 是英语中一个非常常见的表达,用于表示说话人对某事感到好奇、疑惑或想要知道原因。 它语气委婉、自然,常用于日常对话、写作甚至自言自语中。
I wonder why she didn’t reply to my message.
(我好奇她为什么没有回复我的消息。)
(我好奇她为什么没有回复我的消息。)
基本结构与用法
“I wonder why” 后通常接一个完整的陈述句(而非疑问句语序):
- ✅ 正确:I wonder why he left.
- ❌ 错误:I wonder why did he leave.
这是因为 “I wonder...” 引导的是宾语从句,从句应使用陈述语序。
常见使用场景
- 表达真实的好奇:当你真的想知道原因时。
I wonder why the sky is so red today. - 委婉提出问题:比直接问 “Why…?” 更礼貌。
I wonder why you’re late. Everything okay? - 自言自语/内心独白:表达思考过程。
I wonder why I keep making the same mistake...
与其他表达的对比
“Why…” 直接疑问句 更直接,有时显得生硬:
Why didn’t you call me? (可能带有责备语气)
“I wonder why…” 则更柔和、更含蓄:
I wonder why you didn’t call me. (表达关心或好奇)
常见误区提醒
注意:不要在 “I wonder why” 后使用助动词倒装!
错误示例:I wonder why does he always forget?
正确应为:I wonder why he always forgets.
错误示例:I wonder why does he always forget?
正确应为:I wonder why he always forgets.
记住:从句中主语在前,谓语在后,和普通陈述句一样。
