莎拉和曼迪坐在公园的长椅上，看着所有不同的人做他们自己的活动。紧接着，一个小男孩摔倒了，他激动地说：“哇！”。“太有趣了！我想再做一次，”他跑到妈妈面前告诉她。

在上段中有感叹词和感叹词的例子。有时很难区分两者。

什么是感叹词(an interjection)？

感叹词是与感叹号一起使用的词。然而，情况并非总是如此。它可以是一个单独的句子，也可以是句子的一部分。通常语法规则不适用于感叹词，因为它们很短。

感叹词举例

ah / ahh – to show your surprise, anger, pain, happiness, agreement –  Ah! I am so happy to see you!

aargh –  to show that you are angry, disappointed, annoyed –  Aargh, that was really not a good movie.

Abracadabra – the magic word, it helps to make it successful (or so the magicians say).

Adios/Ciao – meaning goodbye, even if you do not speak Spanish or Italian.

Aha – to show that you understand or realize something – Aha! I knew you were hiding something.

Ahem – a sound that you make, almost like clearing your throat, to attract someone’s attention.

Ahoy – A greeting used by sailors, or just to attract someone’s attention

Aloha – Hallo and goodbye in Hawaii, but are used commonly around the world.

Aw shucks/Shucks – this is usually used in a jokingly fashion, to show that you are shy or embarrassed.

Bam/Bang – this is to indicate that something happens quickly. It can also indicate a gunshot/explosion sound or hitting something  – When you step on the accelerator, bam, you are doing 60mph.

Bingo – this is used to indicate when you have done something correct or have given the correct answer – “What is the capital city of Germany?” “Berlin” “Bingo!”

Bon Appetit – the universal interjection to say before starting a meal, meaning that you hope that they enjoy their food.

Boo hoo – this is used to show that someone is crying, but in a jokingly manner

Eureka – used to show that you are happy or excited for discovering the answer to a question or problem.

Ow/Ouch – this is used when you are expressing sudden pain.

Oi – used to attract someone attention – “Oi! What are you doing over there?”

Look out/Watch out – used to draw attention to imminent danger – Watch out! The car is coming![i]

可以使用各种形式的感叹词。你经常使用它们，只是没有意识到而已。

什么是感叹句(an exclamation)？

这些是用来表达强烈情感的词语或句子，如喜悦或愤怒。这些表达感叹词的短语或单词称为感叹词。如果你要写感叹句，在结尾使用感叹号是非常重要的。这通常表示感叹号。如果你要大声朗读这个句子，那么你可以相应地调整你的语调。

感叹句例句

She won the lottery!

I just don’t know what happened!

Come here now!

You were meant to be here last week!

I’m so hungry!

What an amazing dog!

What a pretty little house!

How nice it is to see you!

How lovely!

How clever am I!

Have I got news for you! Your boss got fired yesterday.

Congratulations with your medal!

Good morning! How are you feeling today?

在这些句子中，你可以看到对不同的意思也可以使用感叹词。比如说，表达喜悦、悲伤、祝贺某人，甚至是用疑问的方式，比如分享重要的新闻或八卦。你还必须看到每个句子的结尾都有一个感叹号。

感叹词(interjection)和感叹号(exclamation)的区别

正如所有例句所示，感叹词通常只有一个词。然而，重要的是要注意，感叹词后面并不总是有感叹号。它可以后跟逗号、感叹号甚至问号。感叹词也可以是一个人发出的声音，而不是使用单词或短语。

感叹号是句子或从句，总是以感叹号[ii]结尾。

语法规则总是适用于感叹词，但不适用于感叹词。感叹词不仅用来表达情感，还可以用来要求某事或发出命令。

记住一条黄金法则：所有感叹词都是感叹词，但并非所有感叹词都是感叹词[iii]。
