Chapter 2 代词——指代说法知多少

重点提要

代词(Pronoun)指代替名词或名词短语的词。英语中的代词,据其意思、特征和在句中所起作用,可分为8大类:指示代词(demonstrative pronoun)、人称代词(personal pronoun)、物主代词(possessive pronoun)、反身代词(reflexive pronoun)、相互代词(reciprocal pronoun)、不定代词(indefinite pronoun)、关系代词(relative pronoun)和疑问代词(interrogative pronoun)。

语法剖析

This is a photo of my best friend and me, which was taken last summer in Sanya. We decided to give ourselves a break after a year's hard work. Both of us enjoyed each other's company. Well, who is the girl with long hair? Yes, that is me.

这张是我和我最好的朋友去年夏天在三亚时拍的照片。努力工作了一年,我们决定给自己放个假。我们俩人相互作伴玩得很开心。长头发的女孩是谁呢?对,那就是我。

引语:上文中,出现了指示代词this,物主代词my,人称代词me、we、us,关系代词which,反身代词ourselves,不定代词both,相互代词each other和疑问代词who。那么是否所有的代词既有名词性质,也有形容词性质?它们的句法功能又有哪些?使用时又有什么注意的地方?……接下来的内容将会对此进行详细讲解。

指示代词:作限定词和作代词

指示代词的两种性质

指示代词作限定词,相当于形容词。

1 That dress is new.

那条裙子是新的。

2 Such birds are endemic to the tropical region.

这种鸟类是热带地区所特有的。

3 This woman was our new math teacher.

这个女人是我们新来的数学老师。

4 These books are all bought from the bookstore near my house.

这些书都是从我家附近的书店买的。

5 That patient needs to be operated on right away.

那个病人需要立即手术。

指示代词作代词,相当于名词。

1 This is the best present I have ever received.

这是我收到的最好的礼物。

2 These are my classmates.

这些是我的同班同学。

3 That is the package my girlfriend sent to me.

那个是我女朋友给我寄的包裹。

4 Those should be driven away from factory.

那些人应该被赶出工厂。

由此及彼

指示代词有单复数之分,具体情况如下:

单数

this(这个)、that(那个)、such(这样的)、same(同样的)、so(如此)

复数

these(这些)、those(那些)、such(这样的)、same(同样的)、so(如此)

指示代词的句法功能

作主语时,指示代词既可指人也可指物。

1 That is my mother in the middle.

中间的那个人是我的妈妈。

2 That is my little brother's school bag on the desk.

桌子上那个是我弟弟的书包。

3 Those are poor children from the stricken areas.

那些可怜的孩子是从灾区来的。

4 This was hidden in the suitcase.这个东西被藏在了手提箱里。

作主语外的其他句子成分(宾语、主语补足语)时,指示代词只能指物,不能指人。

1 I will give this to you next week.

下周我会把这个给你的。(this 作动词give 的宾语)

2 She knows nothing about this.

她对此完全不知情。(this 作介词about 的宾语)

3 His opinion is this.他的观点就是如此。(this 作表语)

4 To tell you truth, I am ignorant of that.

实话告诉你,我对那个一无所知。(that 作介词of 的宾语)

5 It's obvious that he is not satisfied with this.

很显然他对此不满意。(this 作介词with 的宾语)

由此及彼

A. that those 可在定语从句中作先行词,而 this these 却不能。

1 Choose that which is useful for you.

选对你有用的东西。

2 I hope you can bring that which can warm you in cold weather.

我希望你可以带上这个天冷时能让你保暖的东西。

B.作先行词时,those 可指人,而 that 不能。

1 I like to make friends with those who are optimistic.

我喜欢和乐观的人做朋友。

2 Those who are always late for work should be dismissed.

那些总是迟到的人应该被开除。

this和these, that和those 指代的区别

this和these 指代在时间上或空间上较近的人或物;that和those 则指代时间上或空间上较远的人或物。

1 This is a beautiful painting.这是一幅漂亮的画。(近)

2 That bike over there is Mike's.那边的那辆自行车是迈克的。(远)

3 We can skate on this frozen lake.我们可以在这个结冰的湖上溜冰。(近)

4 You have to apologize to that customer now.

你现在必须跟那个顾客道歉。(远)

5 These young men always gang together to fight.

这些年轻人总是拉帮结派去打架。(近)

this和these 指下文中将讲到的内容,起承上或启下的作用;that和those表示前文出现过的事物(通常翻译成汉语“这”)。

1 I was caught in the traffic jam, and that's why I was late.

我堵车了,这就是我迟到的原因。

2 I hate the supervisor, and that's why I resigned.

我讨厌这个上司,这就是我辞职的原因。

3 He left his keys on the taxi, and those were them.

他把钥匙忘在出租车上了,这些就是。

4 John planted some flowers in the garden; those are in bloom in spring.

约翰在花园里种了一些花,这些花在春天开放。

指示代词such和same 的用法

such 相当于形容词时,在句中作定语,可修饰不可数名词和可数名词的单复数,而修饰可数名词单数时,其后需加不定冠词a或an。

1 It is not worth taking such trouble.真不值得大费周折。(修饰不可数名词)

2 We promise such problems will not happen again.

我们保证这种错误不会再出现了。(修饰可数名词复数)

3 I will not tolerate such an insult.

我不会忍受这种羞辱。(修饰可数名词单数)

4 I hope you won't buy such bowls again.

我希望你不要再买这样的碗了。(修饰可数名词复数)

5 I can't understand why he likes such a girl.

我不明白他为什么喜欢这样的女孩子。(修饰可数名词单数)

由此及彼

A. such+(a/an)+adj.+n.和so+adj.+(a/an)+n.两个结构均用来表示感叹,其中 such 为形容词,而 so 为副词。

1 It is such a fine day today.

今天天气真好。

2 It is so fine a day.

今天天气真好。

3 I can't finish the work in such a short time.

在这么短的时间里,我完不成这个工作。

4 Why are there so many people in the supermarket today?

今天超市怎么这么多人?

B. so 作指示代词时,只有名词性质,意为“这个,这样”。

1 If it is so, I have nothing to say.

如果事情真是这样,我无话可说。

2 Do you think so?

你这样认为吗?

3 She told you so, didn't she?

她这样告诉你的,对吗?

such 相当于名词时,常与as连用。

1 The books are such as she has never read before.

这些是她从未看过的书。

2 Those dishes are such as we have never eaten.

那些食物我们从来没有吃过。

3 The toys are such as the poor children are longing for.

这些玩具是穷孩子们渴望拥有的。

4 The car is such as the men want to own.

这辆车是男人们都想拥有的。

same 具有名词和形容词性质,前面一般跟定冠词the。

1 The same to you.你也一样。

2 I threw away the cigarettes, and he did the same.

我扔掉了香烟,他也是。

由此及彼

same 常与 as that 连用,但表达的含义却不尽相同。the same as 表示“与……同样的”,而 the same that 则指“同一个”。

1 This is the same pencil as he lost yesterday.

这与昨天他丢的那支铅笔一模一样。(不是同一支)

2 This is the same pencil that he lost yesterday.

这就是昨天他丢的那支铅笔。(是同一支)

人称代词:主格宾格,你我他(她/它)You, he and I;你们、我们和他(她/它)们We, you and they

人称代词的位置

几个单数人称代词(或单数人称代词与名词)并列作主语时,为表示礼貌,其排列顺序为:第二人称→第三人称→第一人称。

1 You, she and I will meet at the school gate at 9 o'clock tomorrow.

2 You, he and I should prevent the student from doing that.

我们、你们和他们都得注重学习效率。

3 We, you and they had better persuade the salesman to knock down the price.

我们、你们和他们最好说服那个推销员降价。

在“及物动词+副词”的结构中,若宾语为人称代词,则需要把人称代词放在动词和副词之间。

1 Please turn it down. I can't hear myself think.

请把声音关小点,我都无法思考了。

2 Would you please turn it up? I can't hear the actors.

你能把声音调大点吗?我听不到演员讲话。

3 Can you turn it off before going out?

4 He turned it on as soon as he got home.

由此及彼

“及物动词+副词”结构中,若宾语为名词或名词短语时,名词或名词短语可放在副词之后。

(She is putting her coat on.)

由此及彼

一般现在时和现在进行时中,根据人称代词的不同,be 动词有三种不同形式:I 后用 am, he/she/it 后用 is, you/we/they 后用 are。一般过去时中,I/he/she/it 后用 was, you/we/they 后用 were

1 He is talking nonsense.

2 They were somewhere else when the accident happened.

事发时,他们并不在场。

it 在句中作形式主语或形式宾语。

名词性物主代词

我弟弟的书在客房;我的书在我自己的房间里。

(mine 指的是 my books,因此之后的 be 动词应用 are)

(mine 指的是 my parents,因此之后的谓语动词用原形

3 Their house is big; while ours is small.

这是他自己亲手做的。

2 The girl put the letter into the postbox with her own hands.

=The girl put the letter into the postbox herself.

相互代词:each other与one another

相互代词只有名词性质,表示两者或两者以上的相互作用,且无复数形式。传统语法认为,each other 多指两者之间,而one another指两者以上,现代英语中两对词组多交替使用

所有的书都在桌子上。

他昨晚没去参加舞会,我也没去。
