这里的反意疑问句应用肯定结构

有一读者问:有这样一道填空题:

(1)He has few friends, _____?

如何填空?

应填has he, 因为few表否定。当陈述部分含有no, little, few, none, nobody, nothing, never, seldom, hardly, scarcely等否定词时,附加疑问句应用肯定结构,再如:

(2)He has no friends here, has he ?

(3)You know nothing about it, do you ?

(4)They have little money, have they ?

(5)I seldom get a letter from you,do I ?

但请注意,当陈述部分含有由表否定的前缀如un-, dis-, im-, in- 等构成的词,则不可将之作否定词对待,换言之,反意疑问句仍须用否定结构,如:

(6)It's unfair, isn't it ?
