"how"和"what"都可以用来引导感叹句,它们的主要区别在于强调的成分不同。
How引导的感叹句
结构:How + 形容词/副词 + 主语 + 谓语
例子:
How hot it is today!
How well she sings!
How time flies!
How clever the girl is!
How fast the runner runs!
What引导的感叹句
结构:What + a/an + 形容词 + 可数名词单数 + 主语 + 谓语
例子:
What a good girl she is!
What an interesting book it is!
What beautiful flowers they are!
What kind women they are!
What nice music it is!
有时"how"和"what"可以互换使用,句意相同。例如:
How clever a girl she is! = What a clever girl she is!
How delicious these cakes are! = What delicious cakes these are!
此外,在口语中,为了强调起见,"how"或"what"引导的感叹句可以改为感叹词 + 谓语 + 主语。例如:
How impressive was the play!
What a fool is he!
总结:
How修饰形容词或副词,强调程度或方式。
What修饰名词,强调名词本身。
