特殊疑问句首的介词移到句末的问题(如to what degree)

来源:www.hymya.com 2023-08-09

以“介词+疑问句”(如 whom / which / what / whose / where / when 等)开头的特殊疑问句是一种比较正式的表达,在非正式文体中,如此的介词一般可以放到句末去。如:

正式:In which century did he live? 他生活在什么世纪?

非正式:Which century did he live in? 他生活在什么世纪?

但,对于 to what degree开头的特殊疑问句怎么样将介词 to 移到句末呢?譬如下面两句:

To what degree is he wealthy? 他富裕到什么程度?

To what degree are you interested in Japanese? 你对日语的兴趣达到了什么程度?

▲你说得没错,以“介词+疑问句”(如 whom /which / what / whose / where / when 等)开头的特殊疑问句是一种比较正式的表达,在非正式文体中,如此的介词一般可以放到句末去。又如:

正式:To whom were you talking? 你刚刚在跟哪个谈话?

非正式:Who were you talking to? 你刚刚在跟哪个谈话?

正式:In which drawer does he keep it? 他把它存放在哪一个抽屉里?

非正式:Which drawer does he keep it in?他把它存放在哪一个抽屉里?

▲但,to what degree 是一个固定搭配,不适合拆开用,下面两句句首的介词 to 不适合放到句末:

To what degree is he wealthy? 他富裕到什么程度?

To what degree are you interested in Japanese? 你对日语的兴趣达到了什么程度?

▲《柯林斯高阶英汉双解学习词典》在 degree 词条有如此一条使用方法:

You use expressions such as to what degree and to the degree that when you are discussing how true a statement is, or in what ways it is true.

To what degree would you say you had control over things that wenton? 你觉得发生的事情在多大程度上是在你的掌控之下?
