主谓一致
意义一致原则
主谓一致的意义一致原则指的是谓语动词的数必须和主语的意义一致(因为有时主语形式为单数,但意义为复数;有时形式为复数,但意义为单数)。
(1)表示“时间、重量、长度、价值”等的名词的复数作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数形式,这是由于作主语的名词在概念上是一个整体。
Forty minutes is enough for the work. 四十分钟足够做这项工作了。
Ten miles is nothing to him. 十英里对他来说不是事。
(2)主语是 clothes,compasses,goods,glasses,trousers,scissors,shoes,gloves等名词时,谓语动词常用复数形式。但如果主语是“kind of/type of/pair of/amount of/quantity of+名词”时,谓语动词的形式须依照 kind,type,pair,amount,quantity的数而确定。
My glasses are missing. 我的眼镜丢了。
That pair of shoes belongs to me. 那双鞋是我的。
(3)“定冠词the+形容词”表示某一类人时,谓语动词用复数。
Even the wise are not always free from error. 即使智者也难免犯错。
(4)主语是means,works(工厂),sheep,fish,deer,Chinese,Japanese,species等单复同形的名词时,谓语动词要在意义上跟主语保持一致。
Every means has been tried to get them to be quiet, but in vain.
为了让他们安静,各种方法都尝试过了,但是都不管用。
All means have been tried to get them to be quiet, but in vain.
为了让他们安静,所有方法都尝试过了,但是都不管用。
A new paper works is to be located near the river.
一家新造纸厂拟建于河边。
Some new paper works are to be located near the river.
一些新造纸厂拟建于河边。
(5)主语是board,family,class,team,group,crowd,audience,company,crew,committee,enemy,government,party等集体名词时,谓语动词的单复数形式要根据主语所指的意义而定:如果表示整体概念,谓语动词用单数形式;如果表示一个一个的成员,谓语动词用复数形式。
My family is going to move to Beijing next month.
下个月我家就要搬到北京去了。
His family all like watching TV, shopping and swimming.
