日常交流中，我们常常感慨于外国同胞们丰富的肢体语言、夸张的面部表情和浑然天成的表现力。作为口语中表达强烈感情的一种重要形式，英语感叹词（interjections）在其中做出了卓越贡献。
不过说起英语中的感叹词，大家可能会觉得既熟悉又陌生，感觉挺简单的，但是用的时候却又不太得要领。所以今天，就让我们一起来领略活灵活现的英语常用感叹词吧。
先看两段对话示例：
Jack: I just had the most amazing day out.
Anna: Oh, what happened?
Jack: First, we went into The Diego.
Anna: Uh-huh.
Jack: We were eating at this expensive restaurant …
Anna: Yeah.
Jack: And then we saw Brad Pitt.
Anna: Oh my god!
Jack: He was at the table right next to us.
Anna: Wow, that’s amazing!
Mum: Bob, don’t you think you are old enough to settle down? You are not getting any younger…
Bob: Oh, sure. Anyway, where are you going tomorrow?
...
如示例所展示，这类小小的感叹词在实际的英语交谈中，具备强大的功能，你既可以使用它们让对话更流畅更具有鼓励性，也可以表达不太感兴趣并适时转换话题。
英语中的常用感叹词数量不少，Hey, Well, Oh dear, Yeah, Mm-hmm, Go on, Right, Alright, Sure, Oka, Nice, Wow, No way, Oh my god, Ugh, Really等都具备此功能。接下来我们精选了几个举例详解：
Oh: 噢，嗯〔用于引起别人的注意或者说话时的短暂停顿〕
* Oh, look, I think that’s Henry over there.
* I met your friend in town, oh, what’s his name?
Ah: 啊〔表示惊奇、喜悦、同意等〕
* Ah! There you are!
* Ah, so many questions, so little time.
Ouch：哎呦〔突然感到疼痛时的叫声〕
* Ouch, you're hurting me!
* Ouch! I've trodden on a thistle!
Oops：哎呀〔摔倒或出了点小差错时的用语〕
* Oops! I’ve spelt that wrong.
* Oops! I typed two Ds by mistake.
Aha：啊哈〔表示明白或意识到某事〕
* Aha! So you planned all this, did you?
* Aha! Here at last, the answer to my question.
There：嘿，嗨；好啦，得啦〔用于向某人问好、呼喊某人或者安慰某人〕
* Oh, hi there. You must be Laura.
* There, there, you poor thing. You're gonna survive this, I promise.
Sh：嘘〔用于要求某人安静〕
* Sh! I’m trying to sleep.
* Sh! You want to listen or don't you?
Good heavens：天哪〔表示惊异或者强调自己认不认同别人的意见〕
* Good heavens! This is ridiculous!
* Good Heavens! That explains a lot!
感叹词是用来表示说话时表达的喜怒哀乐等强烈情感的词。它不构成后面句子的一个语法成分，既可以独立成句，也可以根据实际情况置于句首、句中和句尾。学会感叹词，对于提高英语交际能力起着重要的作用。
但是，还有一点要提醒各位，既然是感叹词，咱们用的时候可得配合上浓郁的感情奥，这样才够味儿，对不？
