特別容易用錯(cuò)冠詞位置的五種情況 ■湖南 周躍輝 一、當(dāng)涉及such, what, many時(shí) 當(dāng)such, what, many 修飾單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞時(shí),不定冠詞應(yīng)放在這些詞之后,而不是之前。如: I’ve never seen such a big apple. 我從未看到那樣大的蘋果。 Many a woman has great influence upon her husband. 許多婦女對(duì)其丈夫有很大影響。 This hospital is a pattern of what a good hospital should be. 這家醫(yī)院就是好醫(yī)院的榜樣。 說明:many a 后接單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞,相當(dāng)于 many 后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞,但前者為正式用法,且語氣較強(qiáng)。 二、當(dāng)涉及how, however, so, too, as時(shí) 當(dāng)單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞前面的形容詞受到副詞how, however, so, too, as的修飾時(shí),不定冠詞應(yīng)放在相應(yīng)形容詞之后。如: She is as clever a cook as her mother. 她跟媽媽一樣做飯。 It is too difficult a book for beginners. 那本書供初學(xué)者看太難了。 It’s so interesting a film that we all like it. 那部電影很有趣,我們大家都喜歡看。 He didn't know how great a mistake he had made. 他不知道他自己犯了一個(gè)好大的錯(cuò)誤。 He has too mild a nature to get angry, even if he has good cause. 他的性情太溫和了,即使有充分的理由,他也不會(huì)動(dòng)怒。 三、當(dāng)涉及rather, quite時(shí) 若單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞前有rather, quite 修飾,則不定冠詞常放在這些詞之后。如: Your daughter is quite a beauty. 你的女兒真是個(gè)大美人。 She is quite a help to her mother. 她是她媽媽的得力助手。 It took me quite a while to fill out the questionnaire. 填寫那份問卷花了我好長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間。 Mr Smith lived here for quite a long time. 史密斯先生在這兒住過很久。 注意:若該結(jié)構(gòu)中的名詞還帶有形容詞修飾語,則不定冠詞可放在這些詞語之前或之后。如: He was rather a [a rather] naughty student. 他是一個(gè)相當(dāng)淘氣的學(xué)生。 另外,若不定冠詞與其他詞語構(gòu)成習(xí)語或固定搭配時(shí),rather和quite只能位于不定冠詞之前。如: Quite a few people are interested in seeing movies. 不少人對(duì)看電影感興趣。 四、不定冠詞與 half的位置關(guān)系 在通常情況下,不定冠詞位于half之后,如說 half an hour,half an apple 等。如: I’ll be ready in half a minute. 我馬上就準(zhǔn)備好。 The river is half a mile across. 這條河有半英里寬。 The baby had a gain of half a pound. 嬰兒的體重增加了半磅。 不過在美國英語中也可將不定冠詞置于half 之前,如說 a half hour, a half apple 等。值得注意的是,在以下情況中,必須說 a half,不能說 half a: 1. 當(dāng)構(gòu)成復(fù)合詞時(shí): It’s a half-hour test. 那是一次半小時(shí)的測(cè)試。 We need a half-dozen. 我們需要半打(即六個(gè))。 2. 當(dāng)half 不表示“一半”時(shí): a half brother 同父異母或同母異父的兄弟 3. 當(dāng)表示“幾個(gè)半”時(shí): We stayed there for two and a half weeks [two weeks and a half]. 我們?cè)谀莾捍袅藘芍馨搿?/SPAN> The journey from 五、定冠詞與both, all, half, twice的位置關(guān)系 當(dāng)這些詞與定冠詞連用時(shí),定冠詞通常放在這些詞語之后。如: Not both the boys were ill. 并不是兩個(gè)孩子都病了。 Yours is twice the size of mine. 你的是我的兩倍大。 Half the workers are women. 一半工人是婦女。 There isn’t enough room for all the furniture. 沒有足夠的地方放置全部家具。 |
