相互代詞與指示代詞的區(qū)別

相互代詞
1)相互代詞只有each other和one another兩個詞組。他們表示句中動詞所敘述的動作或感覺在涉及的各個對象之間是相互存在的,例如:
It is easy to see that the people of different cultures have always copied each other.
顯而易見,不同文化的人總是相互借鑒的。
2) 相互代詞的句法功能:
a. 作動詞賓語;
People should love one another. 人們應(yīng)當彼此相愛。
b. 可作介詞賓語;
Does bark, cocks crow, frogs croak to each other. 吠、雞鳴、蛙兒對唱。
說明:傳統(tǒng)語法認為,相互關(guān)系存在于兩個人或物之間用each other, 存在于兩個以上人和物之間用one another。現(xiàn)代英語中,兩組詞交替使用的實例也很多,例如:
He put all the books beside each other.
他把所有書并列擺放起來。
He put all the books beside one another.
他把所有書并列擺放起來。
Usually these small groups were independent of each other.
這些小團體通常是相互獨立的。
c. 相互代詞可加-'s構(gòu)成所有格,例如:
The students borrowed each other's notes.
學生們互借筆記。
指示代詞
1) 指示代詞分單數(shù)(this / that)和復數(shù)(these / those)兩種形式,既可作限定詞又可做代詞,例如:
單數(shù) 復數(shù)
限定詞:This girl is Mary. Those men are my
teachers.
代詞: This is Mary. Those are my
teachers.
2) 指示代詞的句法功能;
a. 作主語
This is the way to do it.
這事兒就該這樣做。
b. 作賓語
I like this better than that.
我喜歡這個甚至那個。
c. 作主語補語
My point is this.
我的觀點就是如此。
d. 作介詞賓語
I don't say no to that.
我并未拒絕那個。
There is no fear of that.
那并不可怕。
說明1:
指示代詞在作主語時可指物也可指人,但作其他句子成分時只能指物,不能指人,例如:
(對)That is my teacher. 那是我的老師。( that作主語,指人)
(對)He is going to marry this girl. 他要和這個姑娘結(jié)婚。(this作限定詞)
(錯)He is going to marry this. (this作賓語時不能指人)
(對)I bought this. 我買這個。(this指物,可作賓語)
說明2:
That和those可作定語從句的先行詞,但this和 these不能,同時,在作先行詞時,只有those可指人,試比較:
(對) He admired that which looked beautiful. 他贊賞外表漂亮的東西。
(對) He admired those who looked beautiful. 他贊賞那些外表漂亮的人。(those指人)
(錯) He admired that who danced well. (that作賓語時不能指人)
(對) He admired those who danced well. 他贊賞跳舞好的人。(those指人)
(對) He admired those which looked beautiful. 他贊賞那些外表漂亮的東西。(those指物)
