12-限定词
二、限定词与限定词的搭配关系
在名词词组中，当两个以上的限定词同时出现时，限定词之间就存在前后顺序问题，根据限定词不同的搭配位置，限定词可分为中位限定词、前位限定词和后位限定词。
前位限定词（Predeterminers)：all, both, half, double, twice; one third, two thirds 等。
中位限定词（Central determiners ）包括：冠词；指示词（this / that / these / those) ;形容词性物主代词，名词所有格（my, John's)；量词(some, any, no, every, each, either, neither, enough, much等）；wh-words (what, which, whose等）。后位限定词（Postdeterminers）：基数词；序数词; last, next, other, another等; such; many, little, few, several, more, less等。
1The teacher asked his students to write their answers on every other line.老师要求学生隔一行写出答案。
2Both my brothers have graduated from universities.
我两个兄弟都大学毕业了。
3The old men had a very good time during all these last few days.这些老人在最后一段日子里过得很愉快。
在限定词的搭配中，一般的顺序都是前位-中位-后位，中位限定词之间和前位限定词之间是互相排斥的，即：两个中位限定词或两个前位限定词不能同时修饰中心词，而后位限定词则可以并列修饰中心词。
Mr Harrison showed us a few more samples.
Tom broke his leg on New Year's day. It took him the next few weeks to get over it.汤姆新年那天摔断了腿，几个星期后才恢复。
The girl's parents invited several hundred guests to her birthday party.女孩的父母邀请了几百名客人参加她的生日晚会。
Note:
限定词使用规则：
限定词的分类比较复杂、难记。一般情况下，可以运用以下几条简单、实用的规则。
A.把all和both放在其他限定词之前。如：
The little boy ate all the food.
All such problems should be considered.
Both my hands were seriously hurt.
B.把many / much, more / most, few / little放在其他限定词之后。如：
His many successes made him famous.
John's few friends speak highly of him.
With the surrender of the enemy troops, no more fighting was expected there.
（二）all, both, every, each, either, neither的用法
1.all, both同属前位限定词，但all可以与三类名词搭配，both只能与复数可数名词搭配，从意义上讲both指两者，all指三者或三者以上。如：How much time will you take for all this work?
All children can be naughty sometimes.
I got both these vases in Spain.
Both cats are asleep.
all和both用于否定时表示部分否定。
例如：
I cannot promote both of you.
我不能使你们两个都提升。
All flowers in his garden are not red.
他花园里的花并非都是红色的。
Both (of them) are not my brothers.
他们两个之中，只有一个是我的兄弟。
另外，表示部分否定的词还有every (everyone)。
例如：
Every man can not be a poet.
并非人人都可以成为诗人。
要表达全部否定要用none / no (nobody) , neither, either等。
例如：
I cannot promote either of you.
你们两个我都不能提拔。
No flower in his garden is red.
他花园的花都不是红的。
2.all 和every从意义上十分相近，都用来泛指人或物，然而两者各自与名词搭配的类别不同，every只能与单数可数名词连用。如：
All Mondays are horrible.
(= Every Monday is horrible. )
all后可以跟the或this, my等限定词，而every却不行。
例如：
All the boys of this class are able to run faster than their teacher.
试比较：
She was here all day.她在这里呆了一整天。
She was here every day. 她天天都在这里。
3.every和each同属中位限定词，都可与单数名词连用，且意义相近，表示‘每个’，然而every和each并不完全一样，every强调整体概括，each则表示个别概念。例如：
Each day is better than the one before.
一天比一天好。
Every player was in good form.
每个运动员都处于最佳状态。
如果不特别强调某一意义时，every和each可以互换。
例如：
We want every child to succeed.
我们希望每个孩子都成功。
Each child will find his own personal road to success.
每个孩子将会找到他个人的成功之路。
each可以指两个或两个以上的人或东西，every却不能指两个，只能指三个以上的数量。例如：
Each * has its own physical and psychological characteristics.
男女各有其身体上和心理上的特点。（不能说every *...)
另外，如有其他限定词同时修饰中心词，each可作代词取each of的形式，而every则只能作限定词。例如：
Each of my parents gave me presents for Christmas.
过圣诞节时我父母每人都给我送了礼物。
4.either 和neither 同属中位限定词，与名词连用时不能和其他限定词同用（如冠词，物主代词，或指示代词）。either 和neither都只修饰单数可数名词，动词也用单数。例如：
Either day is OK.
两天中哪一天都行。
Neither car is exactly what I want.
这两辆车都不是我想要的。
There were trees and flowers on either side of the street.
街两旁都有树和花。
Either kind of school is quite suitable.
两种学校都挺适合。
either也可指‘两个都’与both的意义相近，但both后接复数名词,either则只接单数名词，而且both还可与其他限定词搭配。例如：
Both (of) my children have been to America.
另外，当either, neither与其他限定词连用时，则使用either of, neither of 结构。例如：
Either of the girls is quite capable of the work.
两位女孩都能胜任这项工作。
Neither of his cats has been fed.
他的两只猫都还没喂。
注意：此时动词用单数，不能用复数。但在否定句中却常用复数，neither of 后单复数动词都可以，只是复数常用在非正式文体中。例如：
I don't think either of the girls are capable of the work.
我认为这两个女孩都不能胜任这项工作。
Neither of your two answers is correct.
你的两个回答都不正确。
