## Indicating A Rebuking Tone with 倒
|
||
|
||
When using 倒 this way, link it together with a 得.When using this, usually the speaker has a rebuking tone. It's like saying "what you're saying is the opposite." In other words, something is not as said.
|
||
|
||
### Structure
|
||
|
||
This grammar pattern is most commonly used with 说, sometimes with 想. 主语限于“你、你们、他、他们”等第二或者第三人称。多用于责备他人。
|
||
|
||
Subj. + Verb + 得 + 倒 + Adj.
|
||
|
||
### Examples
|
||
|
||
- 说 得 _倒_ 容易，那 你 来 ！
|
||
- It's easy for you to just say it. You should give it a try!
|
||
- 你 想 得 _倒_ 美 ！不 工作 还 想 拿 工资 ？
|
||
- You must be talking when you sleep. You want to get paid without doing your job?
|
||
- 你 想 得 _倒_ 简单 ！怎么 可能 ？
|
||
- What you thought is too simple! How could that be possible?
|
||
|
||
## Giving An Emphasis with 倒

||
|

||
- This little girl is quite brave.
|
||
- 你 _倒_ 蛮 会 说话 的 。
|
||
- You're pretty good at talking.
|
||
|
||

||
|
||
### Used in A Negative Sentence

||
|
||

||

|
||
|
||
A few examples:
|
||
|
||
- 你们 都 说 这个 菜 太辣了 ，我 _倒_ 不 觉得 。
|
||

|
||
