parent的單復數以及相關代詞的使用 1. 關于單數與復數的使用: (1) 其意為“父親”或“母親”,要表示“父母雙親”,須用其復數形式。如: John and Mary have become parents. 約翰和瑪麗已做父母了。 You ought to obey your parents. 你應當聽你父母的話。 (2) 如果只指父親或只指母親,則要用單數。如: Being a parent can be hard work. 為人父母可能很不容易。 Which parent is more important in the first year of life? 在出生后的第一年,父親與母親哪一位更重要? 如果指不同人的父親或母親,要用復數。如: The teacher was in conference with the parents after school. 放學后老師與家長商談。 (3) 若用于名詞前作定語,通常用單數。如: Both units are largely dependent on the parent company. 兩個單位均主要依靠母公司。 (4) 在某些特定表達中,由于意義是單數,也用單數。如: Greed is the parent of many evils. 貪婪是萬惡之根源。 The parent teacher meeting is to be held next Wednesday. 家長座談會準備下星期三開。 2. 因父母雙親只有兩個,因此可以與both, either, neither等不定代詞連用,但不能與 all, any, none等不定代詞連用。如: 我父母都喜歡他。 誤:All my parents like him. 正:Both my parents like him. 父母親中隨便哪個都可以參加學校會議。 誤:Any parent can attend the school meeting. 正:Either parent can attend the school meeting. 他父母都不知道他在哪兒。 誤:None of his parents knows where he lives. 誤:Neither of his parents knows where he lives. |
