您说的应该是 Echo Question(回复疑问句)。

这样翻译太怪了。我在本科时曾把 The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language 翻译成中文,当时 Echo Question 这个术语我称之为“仿话疑问句”

也即是,在形式上模仿对话中前文说过的一句话,但改变语调构成疑问句,一般用于确认自己正确接受了一条信息。

根据需要确认的信息类型不同,仿话疑问句分为极性仿话、选择仿话、变量仿话。

1. 极性仿话:确认句子的极性(肯定还是否定)
原话:She's leaving on Saturday. 

仿话:She's leaving on Saturday?

2. 选择仿话:从易混淆选项中确定其中一个
原话:He gaive it to Anne. 

仿话:He gave it to Anne or Anna?

3. 变量仿话:确定句中某一成分
原话:He's proposing to resign. 

仿话:He's proposing to what?

原话一般是陈述句,但祈使句和疑问句也是可以的。

原话:What did he do last week?

仿话:What did he do when?

原话:Give the key to Angela. 

仿话:Give what to Angela?

回声问句echo questions指听话人没有听明白说话人的话,因而提出的问句。由于问句中重复说话人的全部或部分词语,就像回声似的,因此叫作回声问句。回声问句又分为二种:重复性回声问句Recapitulatory echo questions和解释性回声问句Explicatory echo questions。

1 重复性回声问句即简单重复说话人的全部或部分陈述,读升调,希望说话人予以证实。例如:

A: I didn't like that meal. B: You didn't LIKE it ?

A: The Browns are emigrating. B: Emigrating?

A: Switch the light off, please. B: Switch the LIGHT OFF?

也可以是wh-问句或yes-no问句:

A: It cost five dollars. B: HOW much did it cost?

A: He's a dermatologist. B: WHAT is he?

A: We're leaving him here. B: WHAT are you doing with him?

A: I'll pay for it. B : You'll WHAT?

A: I saw Ted Dawson today. B: You saw WHO?

A: Have you borrowed my PEN? B: (Have I) borrowed your PEN?

A : Whatdo you think of the picture?

B: What do I THINK of it? [Did you say "what do I think of it?"]

A : Have you ever been to Valladolid?

B : (Have I ever been) WHERE?

A: How did you enjoy the carnival?

B: How did I enjoy WHAT?



2 解释性回声问句则要求说话人澄清陈述中表达不清楚的地方,而不是简单的重复说话人的话。例如:

A: Take a look at this! B: Take a look at WHAT?

A: He's missed the bus again. B: WHO's missed the bus?

A: Oh dear, I've lost the letter. B: WHICH letter have you lost?

以上三个例句中的this, he, the letter都是特指,即听说双方共识的,但实际听话人并不知其所指,因此要求说话人澄清。
