叹词
咱们生活中充满了形形色色的感叹词(叹词),最容易理解的,当然是像 “啊;哦;欸;哟;嘿;哼” 这样的单音节叹词,但如果只把叹词定义局限于这些词,未免有些单调。
所以也有学者把感叹词定义为负责表达情感的声音单词、词组,也就是说某个词或词组原本属于名词、动词等,但如果它主要用于表达情感,即用来感叹,则也可以视作叹词。
所以咱们就有像 “天哪;额滴神;”不会吧“ 这样的文明叹词,也有像 ”我X;傻X;XXX“ 这样的 ”更加抒情“ 的叹词。这么说的话,就连现在的流行语像是永远的神 yyds. 又何尝不是感叹呢?其实英语兔我还是很赞成这样的定义的,因为语言说到底就是为了交流和表达,所以按照用途来描述叹词,自然符合这一主旨。
这次咱们就来按情感用途说一下最常用的几类英语叹词。

以上就是英语中最主要的叹词,请注意,有些叹词其实能在多种情境下使用,表达不同的情感。
比如这个叹词既可以表示惊讶 oh. 你可以表示高兴 oh. 或者表示无奈 oh. 或者不耐烦。你可以理解为一词多义,也可以理解为叹词高度依赖语气。叹词往往也没有固定拼写,比如刚才说的 oh 还可以拼写为 o,oh,ohh 和 ooh ,表达犹豫等情感的 uh 还可以拼写为 um,er,err或者erm。
另外,叹词有非常高的多样性,有的叹词往往被特定的年龄段、地区、阶层更高频使用。
不知道你是否觉得,叹词也许不是最重要的,但或许是最有趣,甚至是最实用的。
