◆替代词one, ones, that, those在比较结构中的用法辨析:
在比较结构中,为了避免重复,常用替代词替代名词词组或它的中心词。可以这样用的替代词常用的且较难掌握的有one, ones,that和those。
◆替代词one和ones的用法:
(1).one只能替代单数名词,one的复数形式ones只能替代复数名词。例如:
My child doesn't like this book.Show her a more interesting one.
(2).替代词one或ones必须带有一个限定或修饰词,它们和所替代的名词中心词所指不一定是同一对象,这是替代词one或 ones在用法上的一个重要特征。例如:
I don't like this book.I'd like a more interesting one.
(3).当替代词one或ones带有后置修饰语时,它们前面总有定冠词。例如:
Our new cassette is more expensive than ______________ we had before.
(4).当替代词one或ones在形容词比较级、最高级以及某些限定词如this,that, which和序数词等之后,可以省略。例如:
This book is much better than that(one).
(5).替代词one或ones通常不用在物主代词和名词所有格之后。如不可说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,如果有了形容词,one(s)可以和物主代词及名词所有格连用。如:
My cheap camera seems to be just as good as John's expensive one.
(6).one作替代词时,在of前面不能用 the one来表示所属关系和类似概念。如不可说:
※He put down his gun and picked up the one of Henry.
该用一个所有格来表示 He picked up Henry's.
(7).当两个形容词表示对照的意思时,不能使用替代词 one。仅在其中一个形容词后加上名词即可。例如:
Don't praise the younger child in the presence of the elder.
(8).替代词 one如果不带任何前置修饰语,即它的前面既没有限定词,又没有形容词时,便不是替代名词词组的中心词,而是替代整个名词词组。这时,one=a+单数名词。例如:
A cake made of wheat costs less than one made of rice.(one =a cake)
one的这种用法是泛指同类事物中的任何一个,相当一个不定冠词,因此它没有复数形式。要泛指复数事物,只能用some。例如:
Here are a few apples.Would you like some(=some of them)?
◆替代词that和those的用法:
(1).that和those通常用作指使代词,也可用作替代词。它们总是伴随着限定性的后置修饰语,分别等于the one和 the ones。例如:
The houses of the rich are generally larger than_____________ of the poor.
(2).that也可替代不可数名词,但是 the one则不能。例如:
The resistance of a thicker wire is less than____________ of a thin one.
以上两例中的that都不能换成the one。
(3).that作替代词,只能指物,不能指人。those作替代词,既可指物,也可指人。例如:
The blonde girl I saw was older than ________________you were dancing with.
该句中的the one不能换成that。
(4).that用作替代词和它所替代的名词词组的中心词的“数”可以不一致。替代单数名词时,只替代“the +单数名词”,不可替代“a+单数名词”。例如:
The song by Schubert is more tuneful than that by Britain.(that=the song。song为可数名词。)
请注意,这里说的that只替代“the +单数名词”,不可替代“a+单数名词?,系指that在句子中实际的作用,并非要求它在句子中所代表的前面出现的词组必须是“the +单数名词?。例如:
In those days they lived a life worse than____________of a beast of burden.
在该句中,前面出现的词组为a life,但that替代的却是the life。
3.could have done
“could+have+done”是虚拟语气,表示对过去事情的假设,意思是本来能够做某事而没有做。 He ______________ the exam, but he was too careless. 本来他能够通过考试,但是他太粗心。
◆should have done 本可以做 I should have done the work better 我本可以把这项工作做得更好。
◆must have done 一定已经做了 He must have done it. 他一定已经把这事做了
They must have done it! 这件事一定是他们干的
4.make one’s way
(1) 向....前进
(2)成功
If you want to make your way you must learn to work hard while you are still young.
你要想成功,就得学会趁着年轻多多努力。IV. Fill in the blanks:
People have 1 seeing a wild man-like creature in the Himalayas. They call it Yeti. In 1998, an American mountain climber said that he saw a Yeti on the Chinese side of the Himalayas. The Chinese engineers also reported that they saw a Yeti. In 1970, 1,089 footprints were 2 in the snow near Bossburg, Washington in the USA. Some scientists think that these are not 3 by Yetis, but Dr.Krantz, 4 has studied reports of Yetis for many years, says that it possibly lived in
Asia 5 3,000,000 years ago. It could have 6 its way to other parts of the world and lived on7 today. Scientists hope the mystery will be 8 someday.
