例如:His family isn’t very large.他家不是一个大家庭。 His family are music lovers. 他的家人都是音乐爱好者。 但集合名词people, police, cattle, poultry等在任何情况下都用复数形式。 例如:Are there any police around?周围有警察吗? 2)有些名词,如variety, number, population, proportion, majority 等有时看作单数,有时看作复数。 例如:A number of +名词复数+复数动词 The number of +名词复数+单数动词 例如:A number of books have lent out.不少书都被借出去了。 The majority of the students like English.大多数学生喜欢学英语。 1.6 与后接名词或代词保持一致 1) 用half of, part of, most of, a portion of 等词引起主语时,动词通常与of后面的名词,代词保持一致。 例如:Most of his money is spent on books.他的钱大多用来买书了。 Most of the students are taking an active part in sports.大部分学生都能积极参加体育活动。 2) 在一些短语,如 many a 或 more than one 所修饰的词作主语时,谓语动词多用单数形式。但由more than… of 作主语时,动词应与其后的名词或代词保持一致。 例如:Many a person has read the novel. 许多人都读过这本书。 More than 60 percent of the students are from the city.百分之六十多的学生都来自这个城市。 2.名词和代词一致 2.1 代词与其代替或修饰的名词在人称和性别上必须保持一致。 例如:(错误) Those of us who are over fifty years old should get their blood pressure checked regularly. (正确) Those of us who are over fifty years old should get our blood pressure checked regularly. 我们中五十岁以上的人应该定期地检查血压。 3.同等成分一致 3.1句子中的同等成分应该在结构上保持一致,否则会失去平衡和协调。 例如:(错误)She is not only famous in China but also abroad. (正确)She is famous not only in China but also abroad. 她不仅在中国,在国际上也很有名气。 3.2在比较结构中,被比较的事物应是同等成分。 例如:(错误)The workers in that factory are fewer than our factory. (正确)The workers in that factory are fewer than those in our factory. 那个工厂的工人比我们厂的工人少。 (责任编辑:admin) |
