★代詞it, one, that的用法區(qū)別
1. 它們均作代詞指代前文提到的名詞。但it所指的是同名同物,one和that所指是同名異物。
例如:
I like the bike, but I have no enough money to buy it. (我喜歡這輛自行車,但我沒有足夠的錢買它。)
I like bicycles, but I cant afford to buy one. (我喜歡自行車,但我買不起一輛)
The bike which I want to buy is more beautiful than that he has. (我想買的那輛自行車比他的那輛更好看。)
2. it可以替名詞性從句、動名詞和不定式短語,作形式主語或形式賓語,而one和that無此用法。
例如:
If you take a bus at the airport, it will take you half an hour to get there. (如果你乘汽車去機場,那要花半個小時。)
It is known to everybody that the moon travels around the earth once every month. (眾所周知月亮每月繞地球一周。)
3. one與that可用來指代同名異物時區(qū)別如下:
(1) one為泛指,相當(dāng)于a/an+名詞;that為特指,相當(dāng)于the+名詞。所以one所指代的名詞的修飾語一般為a/an/some/any;that所指代的名詞的修飾語往往是the/this/that。
例如:
A chair made of steel is stronger than one made of wood. (鐵制的椅子比木頭制的更結(jié)實。)
[該句中one可以換成a chair。]
The water in the cup is hotter than that in the pot. (杯子里的水比壺里的更熱。) [該句中that可以換成the water。]
(2) one只能代替可數(shù)名詞單數(shù),代替可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)時用ones;that既可以代替不可數(shù)名詞也可以代替可數(shù)名詞單數(shù),代替可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)時用those。
例如:
I like this pen more than that one. (比起那支筆,我更喜歡這支。) [one代替可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)pen。]
There were a few young people and some older ones in the house. (屋子里有幾個年輕人和一些年長者。) [ones代替名詞people。]
Marys handwriting is far better than that of Peter. (馬莉的字寫得比彼得好多了。) [that代替不可數(shù)名詞handwriting。]
These pictures are more beautiful than those. (這些圖片比那些漂亮多了。) [those代替可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)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. (桌上的那個是我的。) [該句中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. (他是個老師,受學(xué)生們喜愛。) [該句中the one代替人,不能用that。]
