Why與Why not的用法
記得某年我教仁愛版英語九年級上冊某單元某一Section時(因疫情在家,沒找到相關課本,具體哪個Section遺忘),我發現了一個Why在使用中的用法錯誤,于是給課本編輯打電話說明 。第二天編輯打回電話,認為我的觀點正確,并于再版時做了改正 。然而,今年我教仁愛版英語八年級上冊Unit 3,Topic 3中的Section B時,又發現了同樣的問題 。由此可見,Why與Why not的用法受漢語的影響是多么嚴重!現引述課本句子如下:
...
Jane: I saw it last week. It’s wonderful!
Michael: I don’t agree.
Jane: Why? Isn’t it interesting?
...
(仁愛版八年級上冊第三單元 Topic 3 中Section B P73)
1. Why, as a question word, is used to ask about reasons and explanations:
Why did he leave home when he was 16?
Why didn’t you tell Tom about it?
--They've decided to move to Devon. 他們已經決定搬到德文了 。
--Why? 為什么?
Note:
【why的兩種用法 why的用法總結大全】a. When we ask for reasons in speaking, we can use the phrase why is that? In informal conversations we often say why’s that?:
--She’s not going to college this year.
--Why’s that?
--She says she wants to travel for a while.
b. In informal contexts we sometimes use what for? with the same meaning of asking for a reason:
--Ann’s going to be really upset with me.
--What for?
--I forgot to call her back last night.
c. When we reply to a negative statement, we usually say why not?:
--I don’t like it here. 這里我不喜歡它 。
--Why not? 為什么?
--He isn’t going to see her off at the station. 他不準備去車站送她 。
--Why not? 為什么?

He asked me why I wanted to leave the job.
I wonder why he told nobody he was getting married.
3. Why is used on its own as a response:
--I’m going home now.
--Why?
4. Why ever or Why on earth is used to add emphasis and to show shock or surprise:
--Beth has decided to go on holiday by herself this year.
--Why ever would anyone want to go on holiday alone?

5. That’s why …is used to give a reason:
