第06单元指示词.doc

1、第 06 单元 指示词引言165 此后四个单元，我们将讨论一些可用作代词、形容词及副词，而有某些共同语法特点的词。例如 which 是代词，whose 是形容词，where 为副词，但都有关系词的共同特点。又如 larger 为形容词，sooner 为副词，这两个词都具有比较级的共同特点。我们首先研究一组具有指示特点的词，如 this，another，every，称为指示词（ Demonstratives） ；然后讨论构成问句的词，如 who， why，whose，称为疑问词（Interrogatives） ；接着处理表示“较”及“最”的一类词，如 larger，soonest， faster

2、，称为比较级（Comparatives）及最高级（Superlatives） ；再谈谈数词（Numericals）及量词（Quantitatives） ，如 five，dozen，much；最后研究同时具有连词和代词（副词、形容词）作用的一组词，称为关系词（Relatives） ，如 which，that，where。指示词的一般特点166 1指示词可以是单数也可以是复数，可以用作代词，也可用作形容词。有些指示词，如：this ， that，用作代词时是单数，用作形容词时，后面跟单数可数名词（简称SCN）或是跟不可数名词（简称 UN） 。另一些，如 there，those，用作代词时为复数，用

3、作形容词时后面跟复数名词。另外，如 any，两种情况都可以。下表中 ink 代表不可数名词（UN） ，pen 代表单数可数名词（SCN） ，pens 代表复数可数名词（PCN） 。这个表可说明一个特定的指示词是单数（SD）还是复数（PD） ，后面跟不可数名词还是单数可数名词：SD（SCN or UN）. PD（PCN）this （pen，ink）. these（pens）that（pen，ink）. those（pens ）some（pen ，ink）. some（pens）the same（pen，ink）. the same （pens ）such（a pen，ink）. such（pen

4、s）no pen，no ink. no pensnone（X） （= 无适当的词） . none（X ）any（pen，ink）. any（pens）all （ the pen，the ink）. all （the pens）every pen. XX. both（pens）either（pen）. Xneither（pen）. Xone（X）. ones （X）another（pen ）. other pens，othersa certain pen. certain pens在左边，例如 this 是单数指示词。它可用作单数代词，如：This is good或跟一个单数可数名词或不可数名词

5、，如：This book is good或 This milk is good在 this 的右边为these，它的意思与 this 差不多，但是一个复数指示词。These 可用作复数代词，如：These are good或用作形容词，后面跟一个复数名词，如：These books are good该表也说明some，the same，such，any 既可作单数，也可作复数，又说明 no，every ， （a）certain 不能用作代词，只能用作形容词，this，that，some，such，no，any 及 all 可以跟一个不可数名词。167 2有些指示词表示“一个” ，有些表示“两个

6、” ，有些表示“多个” 。所以有必要弄清每一指示词可表示共有多少东西或多少人：数量 . 指示词three or more. alltwo or more. these，those，some，same ，such，other（s） ，certainone only. this，that，some（body） ，same，such a，another，a certain，onetwo only. bothzero. none，noone of the three or more. any，everyone of the two. either，neitherone of the two or mo

7、re. each168 3大多数指示词也可用作副词。除了 such，every，same，certain，one 以外，所有指示词都偶尔可用作副词，如：He has some（=about）fifty good novelsThe fish is that（=so）large ？I dont believe169 4有些指示词可与连词一起用，如：eitheror，bothand，neither norBoth John and David are stupidThis job is neither easy nordifficult170 5单数可数名词一般须要加指示词。单数可数名词前一般要加

8、一个冠词 a 或 the；物主代词或名词所有格，如 your，John s；或单数指示词，如this，that，one ，every，any ， each，some，no，either，neither，another，a certain，such a，或 the same。下面句子都是错的，因为名词前面未加上述这类词：He saw houseHe has pretty dogHe kept very lovely horseGood fountain pen is necessaryHonest and faithful friend is better than anything171 6指

9、示词后跟着一个 of 短语时的情况：指示代词（a）及指示形容词（b）后都可跟一个 of 引出的短语：（a）all of them some of themeach of my friends either of his handsnone of your nonsense every one of those people（b）no friend of mine any plan of Davidsthese houses of my aunts that dog of yoursevery plan of his such friends of mine172 “指示词+of-短语” ，如

10、each of us，most of them，可以放在系动词 be 或是助动词后面，甚至为了强调放在句子末尾，仿佛一个状语似的：They are most of them foolishThose children will every one grow very quicklyWe should both of us advise himTeachers must none of them show impatienceThey are foolish，most of themWe should advise him，both of us在用 all， both，each 时，of-短语可

11、以省略，all，both，each 的作用就像副词：They will all come here （ Or：They all came here ）The students must each do the exercise （Or：The studentseach）We shall both study astronomy （Or ：We both ）173 7合成的指示词下面代词及副词为合成词，它们不可分写成两个字，如 some body，no thing代词：someone anyone everyone noone（or no one）somebody anybody everybo
