【Keys: 1~5 CABDB 6~10 BACBC】
★代词it, one, that的用法区别
1. 它们均作代词指代前文提到的名词。但it所指的是同名同物,one和that所指是同名异物。
◇例如:
I like the bike, but I have no enough money to buy it. (我喜欢这辆自行车,但我没有足够的钱买它。)
I like bicycles, but I cant afford to buy one. (我喜欢自行车,但我买不起一辆)
The bike which I want to buy is more beautiful than that he has. (我想买的那辆自行车比他的那辆更好看。)
2. it可以替名词性从句、动名词和不定式短语,作形式主语或形式宾语,而one和that无此用法。
◇例如:
If you take a bus at the airport, it will take you half an hour to get there. (如果你乘汽车去机场,那要花半个小时。)
It is known to everybody that the moon travels around the earth once every month. (众所周知月亮每月绕地球一周。)
3. one与that可用来指代同名异物时区别如下:
(1) one为泛指,相当于a/an+名词;that为特指,相当于the+名词。所以one所指代的名词的修饰语一般为a/an/some/any;that所指代的名词的修饰语往往是the/this/that。
◇例如:
A chair made of steel is stronger than one made of wood. (铁制的椅子比木头制的更结实。)
[该句中one可以换成a chair。]
The water in the cup is hotter than that in the pot. (杯子里的水比壶里的更热。) [该句中that可以换成the water。]
(2) one只能代替可数名词单数,代替可数名词复数时用ones;that既可以代替不可数名词也可以代替可数名词单数,代替可数名词复数时用those。
◇例如:
I like this pen more than that one. (比起那支笔,我更喜欢这支。) [one代替可数名词单数pen。]
There were a few young people and some older ones in the house. (屋子里有几个年轻人和一些年长者。) [ones代替名词people。]
Marys handwriting is far better than that of Peter. (马莉的字寫得比彼得好多了。) [that代替不可数名词handwriting。]
These pictures are more beautiful than those. (這些图片比那些漂亮多了。) [those代替可数名词复数pictures。]
(3) one既可代替事物,也可代替人,that只能代替事物而不能代替人。
◇例如
The one/That on the table is mine. (桌上的那个是我的。) [该句中The one代替事物,并且也可以用That。]
He is a teacher, the one who is loved by the students. (他是个老师,受学生们喜爱。) [该句中the one代替人,不能用that。]
