is不定代词
1. 定 义
所谓“不定”,就是“不确定”“不明确”的意思,所以不定代词就是指不明确表示代替某特定名词或形容词的代词,如 someone 意为“某人”,something 意为“某事”或“某物”,many 表示“许多人”或“许多物”,a few 表示“几个人”或“几个事物”,等等。
(1) 普通不定代词 some; any many; much each; every few; little either 两者中的一个; neither 两者都不 both; all none 没有一个 one other 其它的 ★ some 与 any
一般说来,some 用于肯定句中,any 用于否定句、疑问句和条件句中。如: ①肯定句:He asked some questions. 他问了一些问题。 ②否定句:He didn’t ask any questions. 他没有问任何问题。 ③疑问句:Did he ask any questions? 他问了些问题没有?
但是,在表示请求、邀请或征求意见的句子中,希望对方的肯定回答,通常要用 而不用 any。如:
① Shall I get some for you? 要我帮你拿些来吗?
② Since you have plenty of them, why not give her some? 既然你有那么多,为什么不给她一些呢?
any 有时也用于肯定句中,表示“任何”的意思。如:
Any of these may suit you. 这些中间的任何一个都可能适合你。
some
另外,汉语可说“任何……都不”,但英语不能说 any…not。因为按英语习惯,any 总是要出现在否定词 not 的后面,而不能出现在它的前面。如:
我想任何学生都回答不了这个问题。
正:I don’t think any student can answer this question. 正:I think no student can answer this question. 误:I think any student can’t answer this question. 第一句用的是 not…any,故正确;第二句用的是 no,相当于 not…any,也正确;第三句用的是 any…not,就错了。
★ many 与 much
两者意思相同,都表示“许多”,但用法不同,many 用于修饰或代替可数名词;而 much 用 于修饰或代替不可数名词。如:
① Many trees fell in the storm. 在暴风雨中许多树倒了。
② Much money has been wasted that way. 很多钱都这样浪费了。 ★ few, a few 与 little, a little
little 几乎没有
few 几乎没有 +不可数名词 +可数名词复数 a little 有点儿 a few 有几个
① He has few friends here,he feels lonely. 他这里没朋友,他感觉寂寞。 ② There are a few eggs in the basket. 篮子里有几个鸡蛋。 ③ There is little ink in my bottle,can you give me a little ink? 我的瓶子里没有墨水了,你能给我点儿墨水吗?
④ This book is a little more difficult than that one. 这本书比那本书难一点。 ★ all 与 both
all 指三者或三者以上的人或物,既可代替或修饰可数名词也可代替和修饰不可数名词。 both 指两个人或物,用来代替或修饰可数名词。 ① Both of my parents like sports.
我的父母都喜欢运动。
② All of us should work hard.我们都应努力工作.
★ either 与 neither
either 意思是“两个中间的任何一个”;neither 意思是“两个都不”。 ① He wrote to either of them. 他给他们中的一个人写了信.
② --Will you go there by bus or by car? –Neither. I will go there by train. 你坐公车去还是坐轿车去?一个都不坐,我坐火车去。 ★ another,the other
① the other 指两个人或物中的一个。
He has two daughters. One is a nurse, the other is a worker. 他有两个女儿,一个是护士,另一个是工人。
② another 指同类事物中的三者或三者以上的“另一个。
I have three daughters. One is a nurse, another is a teacher and another is a worker. 我有三个女儿。一个是护士,另一个是教师,还有一个是工人。
(2) 复合不定代词
复合不定代词指的是由 some, any, every, no 后接 thing, one, body 等构成的一类代词。 somebody (某人) someone (某人) something (某事) anybody (某人/任何人) anyone (某人/任何人) anything (某事/任何事) nobody (没有人) no one (没有人) nothing (没有东西) everybody (每人) everyone (每人) everything (每一件事) ★ 这些复合不定代词只有名词的性质,可以作主语、宾语等。 I have something to tell you. 我有一些事情要告诉你们。
★ 复合不定代词如果有其它的形容词修饰,形容词必须后置。Someone has just come to see you. 有个人刚刚来看你。There’s nothing wrong with the machine. 机器没有毛病。
★ 当句子的主语是指人的复合不定代词,如 everybody, nobody, anyone 等时,其反义疑问句的主语通常用代词 they; 当句子主语是指物的复合不定代词,如 everthing, anything, something, nothing 等时,其反义疑问句的主语通常用代词 it。
Everybody is here, aren't they? Everything is ready, isn't it?
★ everyone 的意思等同于 everybody,只能指人; every one 既可指人也可指物。
I'd like everyone to be happy. 我希望人人都幸福。
I have kept every one of her letters. 我把她的每一封信都保存下来。
