是反意問句還是省略句

請看下面一題，是考查反意疑問句還是考查省略句？

Many people have become rich by working hard, __________ you?

A. are                        B. have                        C. aren’t                         D. haven’t

此題應選B。容易誤選C，D，誤認為這是反意疑問句。其實這是一個省略句，補全為。如：

Many people have become rich by working hard; have you become rich by working hard too? 許多人通過勤勞致了富，你也通過勤勞致富了嗎?

又如。如：

Many young people like the book. Do you? 許多年輕人喜歡這本書，你喜歡嗎?

He will leave for Japan next week. Will you? 他下星期要去日本，你去嗎?

We all want to attend the meeting; do you? 我們都想參加這次會議，你想參加嗎?

以下各句情況也有些類例。如：

1. —I met Mr Smith last Sunday? 上個星期天我遇到史密斯先生了。

—Oh, did you? 哦，是嗎?

2. —He has come back already? 他已經回來了?

—Oh, has he? 哦，是嗎?

3. —Soon he will marry his cousin. 他不久將同他 表妹結婚。

—Oh, will he? 哦，是嗎?

4. —Jim, why weren’t you telling the truth? 你為 什么不講真話?

—But I was. 但我講的是真話。
