替代詞在比較結構中的用法辨析
在比較結構中,為了避免重復,常用替代詞替代名詞詞組或它的中心詞。可以這樣用的替代詞常用的且較難掌握的有one, ones,
that和those。
I.替代詞one和ones的用法:
1.one只能替代單數名詞,one的復數形式ones只能替代復數名詞。例如:
My child doesn't like this book.Show her a more interesting one.
2.替代詞one或ones必須帶有一個限定或修飾詞,它們和所替代的名詞中心詞所指不一定是同一對象,這是替代詞one或 ones在
用法上的一個重要特征。例如:
I don't like this book.I'd like a more interesting one.
3.當替代詞one或ones帶有后置修飾語時,它們前面總有定冠詞。例如:
Our new cassette is more expensive than the one we had before.
4.當替代詞one或ones在形容詞比較級、最高級以及某些限定詞如this,that, which和序數詞等之后,可以省略。例如:
This book is much better than that(one).
5.替代詞one或ones通常不用在物主代詞和名詞所有格之后。如不可說my one(s),your one(s),Peter's one(s)等等。
one或 ones也不能用在own之后。
但是,如果有了形容詞,one(s)可以和物主代詞及名詞所有格連用。如:
My cheap camera seems to be just as good as John's expensive one.
6.one作替代詞時,在of前面不能用 the one來表示所屬關系和類似概念。如不可說:
*He put down his gun and picked up the one of Henry.
該用一個所有格來表示 He picked up Henry's.
7.當兩個形容詞表示對照的意思時,不能使用替代詞 one。僅在其中一個形容詞后加上名詞即可。例如:
Don't praise the younger child in the presence of the elder.
