other another others the other the others
1.other可作形容词或代词,做形容词时,意思是“别的,其他”,泛指“其他的(人或物)”。如:
Do you have any other question(s)?
你还有其他问题吗?
Ask some other people.
问问别人吧!
Put it in your other hand.
把它放在你另一只手里。
2.the other指两个人或物中的一个时,只能用the other,不能用another,此时的other作代词。如:
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。
the other后可加单数名词,也可加复数名词,此时的other作形容词。如:
On the other side of the street,there is a tall tree.
在街道的另一边,有一棵大树。
Mary is much taller than the other girls.
玛丽比其他的女孩高得多。
He lives on the other side of the river.
他住在河的对岸。
3.others是other的复数形式,泛指“另外几个”,“其余的”。在句中可作主语、宾语。如:
Some of us like singing and dancing, others go in for sports.
我们一些人喜欢唱歌和跳舞,其余的从事体育活动。
Give me some others, please.
请给我别的东西吧!
There are no others.
没有别的了。
4.the others意思是“其他东西,其余的人”。特指某一范围内的“其他的(人或物)”。是the other的复数形式。如:
Two boys will go to the zoo, and the others will stay at home.
两个男孩将去动物园,其余的留在家里。
the others=the other +复数名词,这在第2条中已经有所介绍。
5.another=an+ other,既可作形容词,也可作代词,只能用于三个或更多的人或物,泛指同类事物中的三者或三者以上的“另一个”,只能代替或修饰单数可数名词。如:
I don’t like this one. Please show me another.
我不喜欢这一个,请给我看看另一个。
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。
这四个词含义均与“看”有关,主要区别为:
look为不及物动词,指看的过程,表示有意识地集中精力去看,但并不一定能看见,多用来唤起别人的注意。其后接宾语时,一定要加介词at。如:
Look!Who is swimming in the river?瞧!谁在河里游泳?
Please look at the blackboard.请看黑板。
see用作及物动词,后接宾语,意为“看见”、“看到”,主要强调看的结果,但不一定是有意识地看。“看医生”、“看电影”常用这个词。如:
I am looking at the blackboard,but I can't see the words.我在看黑板,但看不见上面的字。
You must take your baby to see a doctor.你必须带你的孩子去看医生。
We are going to see a film this afternoon.今天下午我们打算去看电影。
watch为及物动词,意为“观看”、“注视”,指非常仔细地、有目的、全神贯注地“看”。“看电视”、“看比赛(实验以及各种表演等)”习惯上用这个词。如:
They are watching a football game.他们正在看足球比赛。
Kate often watches TV on Sunday.凯特常常在星期天看电视。
read本义为“读”、“朗读”。表达“看书”、“看报”、“看信”、“看杂志”时,通常用read。如:
Wang Hong is reading the letter from her mother.王红正在看她妈妈的来信。
Don't read in the sun.不要在阳光下看书
say 指用言语表达思想,着重于所说的内容
speak 着重于说话这一动作本身,而不着重于说的内容
talk 通常表示连贯的与别人谈话,着重于谈话这一动作本身
few, a few, little, a little
虽然都表示“少”,但
(1)few, a few是可数的, little, a little是不可数的。
(2)a few, a little含肯定意味,few, little含否定意味。这里所谓的“肯定意味”和“否定意味”应该这样来理解:同样是半杯水,口渴者会认为:There is little water in the glass. 而不口渴的人则会认为:There is a little water in the glass.
一:
1.few修饰可数名词复数。
2.few (= not many; hardly any)含否定意义;a few (= some; several; a small
number of) 含肯定意义。
3. not a few = no few = quite a few = a good few = many。
4. 当 few受 every, last, past, next, some, very等词所修饰时,表示肯定意义,few之前不再有冠词。如:
In the last few minutes, he checked up his paper again.
It took us some few days to repair the machine.
They are very few in number.
There were too few of them.
He goes to see his grandma every few weeks.
5. 在非正式文体中很少见,一般用或代替,如:
Only a few people attended the meeting.
另外,little / a little
Little remains to be done about it. (作主语)
A little remains to be done.
Please give me a little. (作宾语)
He knows a little of everything.
There is very / but little time left. (作定语)
Don’t worry; you still have a little time.
1. little修饰不可数名词,表示“量”。
2. little含否定意义(反义词:much);a little含肯定意义(反义词:none)。
3. 在非正式英语中,一般很少用little,常用not much, only a little来代替,如:
We haven’t got much money / time.
