a²/ə], strong form [eɪ//ə/ adj
补充(1){e, æn}只在特别强调时或换气发音时用。 (2)当作冠词时, a用于以辅音字母起首的字之前, an用于以不发音的h或元音字母起首的字之前,但起首的元音字母发[j]或[w]音时,仍须用a a cat an egg a horse an hour{aʊr} an uncle a university{ˌjunə'vɝ sətɪ} an office boy a one-eyed{'wʌn'aɪ}man an 8-piece band an FBI man (3)字序→【用法】(1) (4)字义1, 2 为保留数词one之原义的用法;3,4为当不定冠词的普通用法。 补充(1)复数构句中通常用some, any: There are some books ... Are there any books ...? (2)There were a poet and a novelist. 有一位诗人与一位小说家(二人)。 He is a poet and novelist. 他是一位诗人兼小说家(一人)。 但强调一人从事两项活动或具有两种性质时,两者均须加冠词: Molière was an actor and a playwright. 莫里哀是演员,也是剧作家。 补充复数构句中不用some, any (参照the B1),如: A bird has wings.改为复数构句则为Birds have wings. 用法(1)a [an]可与形容词等修饰语连用,加於单数可数名词之前: (例:a fine day, a very fine day); 特别注意下列语词的字序: many a boy 【文】 (=many boys) such a thing What an idle girl [How idle a girl] she is! (她是一个多么懒惰的女孩啊!) quite a young lady rather an idle boy as [so, too] heavy a burden half an hour (2)No such disaster will happen again. (像这样的灾害不会再发生) You could get no greater honor than this. (你不可能获得比这更大的荣誉了。) 在上列句子中,如加入不定冠词而说成no such a disaster, no greater an honor就错了。 (3)this, that, some之类的限定词与my, his之类的所有格,不可与a [an]并用。 (如:a this girl, this a girl, a my daughter, my a daughter等均为错误) (4)用于称呼时的名词,不加冠词: Hello, friend! (喂,朋友!) (5)当作补语的名词,表官职、地位、任务等时,不加冠词: Alice was elected chairperson. (爱丽丝当选为主席。) He acted as interpreter. (他当译员。) (6)在某些词组或独立短语中,可数名词前也不用不定冠词: in class (上课) with child (怀孕) go to school (上学) He sat in a chair, pipe in mouth. (他坐在椅子上,口啣烟斗。) 用法(1)当adj.用的such: i)在修饰单数的可数名词时,通常位于不定冠词之前;如果和一般形容词合并使用,该形容词便置于such a(n)和名词之间: I have never seen such a (beautiful) sight. (我从来没有看过这么美丽的景色。) ii)但如果和all, another, any, some, no, many, few等合并使用, such就要放在这些字的后面,而其后的名词,就算用单数,也不需要不定冠词: Have you ever heard any such rumor? (你听过像这样的谣言吗?) There are many such persons in the world. (世界上像这样的人多的是。) (2)「such+a(n)+形容词+名词」和「so+形容词+a(n)+名词」几乎同义,但前者为比较口语化的表达方式: such a long sermon =so long a sermon 不过,如果名词为复数时,可以用像such long sermons,但通常不能说so long sermons。 用法my不能与a, an, this, that, no等连用放在名词之后; of yours [his hers, ours, theirs]的道理也是如此,另外在此种结构中的mine, ours, his, etc.读来仍然要比前面的名词放轻些。 |
