这些不定代词不仅在含义上有单复数之分,而且在用法上有泛指(无the)和特指(有the)之别。其用法区别可归纳如下:
(1) 指单数:若泛指用
another,若特指用 the
other。如:
Have
another piece of
chocolate. 再吃一块巧克力糖吧。
Give that wall
another coat of
paint. 给那面墙再刷一层油漆。
He
wants a
transfer to
another job. 他想转换工作。
He
killed the
other man in a
fight. 他在搏斗中杀死了对手。
The
driver of the
other car was a
woman. 另一辆车的司机是女的。
This one is
shorter than the
other by
three inches. 这一个比那一个短3英寸。
(2) 指复数:若泛指用
other(后接复数名词),若特指用the
other(后接复数名词)。如:
Other boys were
arriving now. 其他男孩马上也要到了。
Other people have had
similar experiences. 其他人也有相似的经历。
Other businesses cling on and hope. 其他企业坚持着并且抱着希望。
She zigzagged her way
through the
other guests. 她从其他客人中间穿过。
They
bought out all the
other partners. 他们买下了其它合伙人的全部股份。
Sorry about all the
other things I didn’t have time for. 其余部分因时间不够没法讲完,只好表示抱歉。
(3)
others的用法:永远表示复数意义(且其后不能再接名词)。其用法大致相当于“other+复数名词”,同样地 the
others 大致相当于“the
other+复数名词”。如:
He
stood aloof from all the
others. 他和谁都保持距离。
They look
control of the
business from the
others. 他们从别人手中接管了业务。
Some
people ski
worse than
others. 有些人的滑雪技术就是不如别人。
(4) 与some 对比:与some 对比使用时,用
others(此时与 some 同义)。如:
Some
people enjoy exercise,
others don’t. 一些人喜欢运动,而另一些人则不喜欢。
Some
people are
frightened of
thunder,
others of
snakes. 有些人怕雷声,有些人怕蛇。
