一、“泛指”与“特指”的多种表达
说起“泛指”,我们马上想起不定冠词
(a/an)
,其实不带冠词的不可数名
词和复数名词都可以表“泛指”,
有些表“不定”概念的限定?/p>
(another,
some, a few, most, enough, hundreds of, plenty of
?/p>
)
也可以充当这个作
用。例如:
I want to buy a book/some books. Books are of great use. Air is all
around us.
I will stay there for a few days/another few days.
“特指”经常由定冠?/p>
(the)
或表“特定”概念的限定?/p>
(
物主代词,指示代
词,名词所有格?/p>
)
来充当。假如将“中国的第二大河流”说?/p>
?/p>
China
?/p>
s
the second longest river
?/p>
是不妥当的,
因为
China
?/p>
s
?/p>
the
在“特指?/p>
的概念上是重复的。“那个门破了的教室”既可以译成
?/p>
the classroom
whose door is broken
”也可以说成
?/p>
the classroom the door of which is
broken
”,因为
?/p>
door
?/p>
前应该有个表“特指”的限定词。同样,?/p>
with
one
?/p>
s help/ take one
?/p>
s place
?/p>
可能在另一场合会变成?/p>
with the help
of/ take the place of
”?/p>
在表达“倍数”时,我们常常看到这样一个公式:“倍数
+ the +
名词
(size/height/ length) + of
”。如果把它改为“倍数
+
表特指的名词
/
代词?/p>
就可以更好理解的下面的句子了?/p>
?/p>
The size of the newly broadened square is four times that of the
previous one. (that=the size)
?/p>
I offer ten times the money that Antonia has borrowed. =I offer
ten times what Antonia has borrowed. (what=the money that
