  17.Why not? Why don’t you? 为什么不…?

  这两种句式都是向对方提出忠告或建议,前者是后者的省略形式,所以后接动词时不带to如:

  ⑴It looks like rain. Why not take a raincoat? 快要下雨了,你为什么不带件雨衣呢?

  ⑵Since you have to stay at home, why don’t you do some reading?

  既然你必须呆在家里,为什么不读点书呢?

  另外,Why not? 也可以单独使用,表示“为什么不行?”“好啊”“请别客气”

  eg.

  ⑴

  ---You shouldn’t go out with me.

  ---Why not?

  “你不该跟我出去。” “为什么不行?”

  ⑵---Let’s go to the cinema.

  ---Why not?

  “我们去看电影吧。” “好啊。(为什么不呢?)”

  注:Why+不带to的不定式用来表示某动作没有必要或意义。如:

  Why argue with him? He’ll never change his mind.

  为什么要跟他争论?他永远也不会改变看法的。

  高考题例:

  ①

  ----Let’s go to a movie after work, OK?

  ----_______.(2005全国高考山东卷)

  A. Not at all       B. Why not?       C. Never mind.     D. What of it?

  分析: Not at all用来回答Thank you; Never mind.用来回答道歉; What of it?=So what?表示“那又有什么重要的?”; Why not?“为什么不呢”表示非常同意对方.根据句意应选B,表示同意对方的建议.在选择交际用语时要注意说话的情景及说话者的真正含义.

  答案:B

  ②

  ----How about putting some pictures into the report?

  ------________. A picture is worth a thousand words.(2005全国高考江苏卷)

  A. No way.       B. Why not?     C. All right?     D. No matter.

  分析:前者问对方在报告中插入一些图画如何,后者回答一副画能抵得上一千个单词,说明后者非常赞同前者的提议.No way 表示拒绝对方要求的应答,No matter表示“没关系,不要紧,没什么大不了的”,All right表示“行吗?合适吗”,显示说话者的语气不确定.所以只有B选项Why not?含有鼓励和赞同的意思,符合句意.

  答案:B
