刘老师:
我认为,关于这种“观点性质”的反意疑问句,还是通过逻辑推理去判断最好。在阐述某人观点时,三个不同的人称“你、我、他”,身份是不一样的:说话人是“我”,听者是“你”,“他”不在现场。那么,tag question 会出现不同的用法:
第一组:
I think this is true, isn’t it? (正)
I don’t think this is true, is it?(正)
I think this is true, don’t I? (误)
I don’t think this is true, do I?(误)
【说明】信息重心在宾语从句:“这件事是否是真的”,征求“你”的答复。若用do/don’t I?那就是自言自语了。
第二组:
You think this is true, don’t you? (正)
You don’t think this is true, do you? (正)
You think this is true, isn’t it? (误)
You don’t think this is true, is it? (误)
【说明】信息的重心在主句:“你是否持有这个观点”。请比较:
You think this is true, don’t you? 意思是:你认为这是真的,不是吗?(=你不这样认为吗?)
假如说:You think this is true, isn’t it? 意思是:“你认为这是真的,它不是真的吗?”——在逻辑上讲不通。
第三组:
(A) He thinks this is true, isn’t it? (正)
(A) He doesn’t think this is true, is it? (正)
(B) He thinks this is true, doesn’t he? (正)
(B) He doesn’t think this is true, does he? (正)
【说明】A组的信息重心在宾语从句:“这件事是否是真的”。 B组的信息重心在主句:“他是否持有这个观点”。两种情况都能讲得通,因为第三者的观点不是“你我”的观点,是间接的转述。
综上,在阐述某人观点时,三个不同的人称“你、我、他”,身份不一样,角色不一样,说话角度不同:说话人是“我”,听者是“你”,“他”不在现场。那么,tag question应该是这样设置的:
I don’ think... 的信息重心在“宾语从句”。其附加问句应根据宾语从句设置。
You don’t think... 的信息重心在“主句”。 其附加问句应根据主句设置。
He doesn’t think... 的信息重心在“主句或从句”均可。其附加问句根据主句或宾语从句设置均可。
【注】你的句子跟红色句子是一个类型的。

A.did B.don't C.do D.didn't
答案解析:答案A为正确答案,原因含有否定转移反意疑问句,应该以从句主语和谓语决定单复数,从句过去式又是否定句,因此反意疑问句用肯定,即did you?
