3.5 that用于指代(demonstrative)還是替代(substitution) 3.5.1 that用于指代和替代的區(qū)別 that (復(fù)數(shù)those)有兩種用法:一是作指代詞(demonstrative);二是作替代詞(substitution)。但是,這二者之間有時(shí)又很難區(qū)分。 《新編英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法》(第三版)p1476:替代(Substitution)是一種避免重復(fù)、連接上下文的語(yǔ)法手段。這種手段的特點(diǎn)是用“替代詞” (Substitution Pro-form)來(lái)替換上下文中的特定詞語(yǔ)。“替代詞”不同于“指代詞”(Coreference Pro-form),前者僅是替代一個(gè)詞語(yǔ);后者則是指代一個(gè)對(duì)象。不論是替代詞還是指代詞都有它們的“先行項(xiàng)”(Antecedent),不過(guò)替代詞和先行項(xiàng)之間是是一種“替代關(guān)系”(Replacement),而指代詞和先行項(xiàng)之間則是一種“共指關(guān)系”(Coreference),即兩者共同指向一個(gè)特定的人或物。 《英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法詞典》p824:替代是為了省略或避免重復(fù)而使用的一種方法。用來(lái)替代的詞或短語(yǔ)叫做代用詞語(yǔ)(substitute)或替代形式(pro-form),大多數(shù)替代形式都是復(fù)指的,即上文已經(jīng)提到的某一內(nèi)容。替代可以用在一個(gè)句子的內(nèi)部,但多數(shù)情況是跨越句子。 根據(jù)以上觀點(diǎn),本文把3.3中的that看作是指代(demonstrative),3.4中的that既可以看作是指代(demonstrative),也可以看作是替代(substitution),而把do that中的that看作是替代(substitution)。例如: And it has no choice but to lie down and sleep. To do that, it must find a place where it can keep fairly warm;… 3.5.2 do it,do that和do so的區(qū)別 do it,do that和do so 表示動(dòng)作、行為,多替代動(dòng)態(tài)動(dòng)詞。do it 和do that與do so相比,更強(qiáng)調(diào)上文提到的具體動(dòng)作或事件,三者有時(shí)可以通用。例如: “Rover is scratching the door.” “Yes, he always does so/does it/does that when he wants attention.” “John abandoned his car during the snowstorm.” “I don’t know he did so/ did it/ did that.” “I rode a camel in Morocco .” “ I’d like to do that.” 但是,do it,do that和do so之間也有差異:do it強(qiáng)調(diào)所做的是特定的一個(gè)動(dòng)作,一件事情;do that可表示所做的是一般行為,那種事;而do so強(qiáng)調(diào)所做的是一般行為,那種事。試比較: Is Connie still trying to light the stove? She should have done it by now. (強(qiáng)調(diào)生爐子這一動(dòng)作) Are you trying to light the stove with a match? I wouldn’t do that. (強(qiáng)調(diào)對(duì)用火柴生爐子這件事的驚奇) Martin is painting his house. I’m told he does it every four years. (前后兩個(gè)場(chǎng)合一個(gè)動(dòng)作;does that也可以) Martin is painting his house. I’m told this is merely because his neighbor did so last year. (同一種一般性動(dòng)作:油漆房屋;do so 比do it/do that更強(qiáng)調(diào)其為類屬關(guān)系) 在被動(dòng)句中,通常不用do so,而較常用 do that/ do it。例如: How can free electrons be made to move along a wire? Well, men have found several ways to do that. Has the water been turned off? Who did it without asking me?
