冠词(Articles)及其用法

假设我们要翻译以下的中文句子:

他是聪明的孩子

He is a clever boy.

他是昨天来看我的孩子。

He is the boy who came to see me yesterday.

正确的句子是:

He saw a cat.

Swimming is a good exercise.

Java is a computer language.

The King of England died last night.

He is the professor who taught me English.

我们知道大多数的名词前面要加冠词,但究竟要加a,还是the呢?

1 a和the之不同用法

a和the最大的不同,在于a后面的名词不是指定的,而the后面的名词是有所指的。我们不妨看以下的两个句子,他们都是正确的,但意义却不同。

John is a boy.

John is the boy.

〝John is a boy.〞的意思是〝约翰是一个男孩〞,而〝John is the boy.〞的意思就完不同了,我们一定曾经提到过某一个男孩子,而约翰就是那个男孩子。可能的情形是:There is a boy who is very good in mathematics. John is the boy.

我们就以〝国王〞为例,如果我们泛指一般的国王,我们可以用复数,也可以用单数,但必须用a,以下是一些例子:

Kings are also human beings.

Even a king will die sooner or later.

Have you ever met a king ?

I do not like to be a king.

He is an ordinary person, not a king.

如果我们的国王是指某一个特定的国王,就必须用the,举一个例子;如果我们说〝国王万岁〞,我们当然是指我们的国王,因此〝国王万岁〞的翻译就是Long live the King.

以下的例子都是正确

Here comes the King.

The King is a popular person in our country.

Even the King of England can not come in.

He is not a boy who would cheat others.

他不是那种会欺骗别人的男孩子。

He is not the boy who cheated in an examination yesterday.

他不是昨天在考试中舞弊的男孩。

He is a King.〝他是一个国王〞。

如果说He is the King.〝他是我们国家的国王〞。

Please open a window.是指请开一扇窗子,随便哪一扇都可以。

Please open the window.〝the window〞一定是指某一扇特定的窗子,也许

这间房子里只有一扇窗,也可能他们谈话中曾经提到某一扇窗,〝the

window〞就是指那一扇窗。

我们可以再举一个例,假如我们说,〝我们需要一场大雨〞,我们说

We need a heavy rain.

如果我们说,〝这场雨好大〞,我们说

The rain is really heavy.

有了这个基本观念以后,我们就很容易了解以下句子中,为什么要用the:

I am going to the train station.

The post office is quite near.

Where is the library?

根据这种原则,当我们提到地球,月亮这种独一无二的东西,就必须用the。

the earth

the sun

the moon

the universe

除此以外,the还有一个特殊的用途,我们可以在the的后面加一个形容词,

使这两个字变成了一个名词,举例来说:

the rich=富人

the poor=穷人

the weak=弱者

the deaf=聋人

the blind=盲人

请注意,以上的名词是复数:

The rich always get richer.

The poor are getting poorer.

The blind are often very sensitive to sounds.

以下是一些用a和the的例子,读者应设法了解句子中为何有时用a,有时用the。

He is a student.

He is the student who can swim very well.

I like to be a teacher.

He is the teacher who taught me English.

The president of the United States in an important person in the world.

I have a son and a daughter.

I have two sons. This is the son who will be a doctor.

I want to be a teacher who is loved by students.

He is not the person whom we talked about.

There is a boat in the river.

This is the boat which we can use.

The rain is going to stop tomorrow.

We need a good rain.

The weather is really bad.

Is there a train station near us?

Where is the station?

Do you know where the post office is?

There is a post office inside that building.

The library looks so good.

The rich should pay more taxes.

We should pay more attentions to the poor.

The blind can also study computer science now.

The earth is round.

The sun never sets in the British Empire.

Do you think we can reach the moon?

How large is the universe?

2 a和an的用法

在英文里,a有时必须用an代替,凡是一个字一开始的发音是元音的话,那么前面就不能用a,而必须用an。例子:

an apple

an answer

an egg

an eye

an island

an idea

an old lady

an odd case

an umbrella

请注意,用an与否并不是完全和字母有关,而是和发音有关。举例来说,u 虽然是一个元音字母,但是我们却说a unit,而不能用*an unit,因为unit

的一开始发音并非元音。

其它类似的例子有:

a useful car

a university

a uniform

a one-sided opinion

反过来说,有些字并不以元音开始,但是却必须用an,因为这些字的第一音节是元音发音,例子:

an honest person

an hour

3 冠词使用时的例外

在以上的两节,我们好像说冠词的使用是有一定规则的,其实不然,例外也不少。

在很多情形之下,冠词是要省略的,更麻烦的是,连省略冠词的规则都有例外,应

该省的却又不省了。

第一个有关冠词的特殊用法是这样的,假设我们要说〝男生通常不喜欢弹钢琴〞,我们不能说

Boy does not like to play the piano.

而要说

Boys do not like to play the piano.

这时,Boys的前面,是没有冠词的,理由很简单,我们不能加a,因为boys是复

数,我们也不能加the,因为boys并没有指定哪一个男孩,也没有指定哪一种男

孩。类似的例子有:

Girls are more diligent than boys.

When spring comes, flowers start to bloom.

Dogs are often close to their masters.

Cats are often quite lazy.

Men eat more than women.

Professors are all very smart.

第二个规则有关所谓不可数名词,很多名词是可以数的如:

a cup, two cups

a boy, three boys

a teacher

a student

a boat

an airplane

a glass of water

a cup of tea

可是很多名词是不可数的,以下这些名词都是抽象的,因此不可数

time

love

hatred

pain

joy

sadness

kindness

wisdom

hope

patience

这些抽象名词的前面是不要加冠词的,例子如下:

Time flies.(时间过得很快)

We can not live without love.

Let there be no hatred.

We must be able to endure pain.

Loving others creates joy.

There is sadness in his voice.

Can you feel his kindness?

He has wisdom.

There is hope among us.

I am losing patience.

以上的例子,乃是泛指的事物,如果特定的抽象名词,仍要加冠词。例如:This is the time to cry.

Do you feel the pain?

There is a hatred towards was in our society.

Everyone can feel the joy of being loved.

We just can not avoid the sadness of losing some loved ones.

He does have the patience to listen to long talks.

It is a virtue not to steal.

还有一些不可数的名词,是所谓的物质名词,像

water

fire

air

metal

tea

coffee

bread

butter

如果这些物质名词泛指一般的东西,前面是不要加冠词的,例如Drinking water is important.

Don't play with fire.

We need air to breath.

There is metal in this device.

I don't drink tea.

I like coffee.

Father brings bread and butter home every day.

一旦物质名词指特定的东西,前面就要加冠词,例如:

The water in this city is polluted.

There was a fire near our home last night.

The air in this town is getting worse and worse.

Copper is a metal.

The tea from India is very popular in England.

专有名词,一般说来都不要加冠词的:

Mary is from Canada.

John got married last month.

Taiwan is an island.

England is in Europe.

France is a nice country to visit.

Russia is a large country.

Park Street is the main street in this city.

Go to Taipei first.

Sun Moon Lake is a beautiful lake.

January is often very cold here.

Sunday is a day for resting.

Spring is the best season.

Mt. Everest is in Europe.

President Kennedy died when he was young.

King George was considered a mad king.

Queen Elizabeth visited Australia recently.

可惜的是,英文中专有名词仍有要加the的,我们将试着将这些例外写成规则,但这种规则一定挂一漏万,读者如要知道何种情况要加冠词,何种情况不加冠词,惟一的办法是多读英文的文章,慢慢地就会了解什么情形该用冠词,什么情形不用冠词。

(2)三餐一概不加冠词

千万记住,如果我们的名词指定某一个特定的时候,就仍要加冠词,以下是一些例子:

The dinner you treated me last night was really good.

Did you have a big breakfast?

(3)假如我们说〝上学〞,〝去教堂〞等等,都不要加冠词,例如

I went to church yesterday.

She is going to college this summer.

Did you go to school last week?

但是如果我们说的是指定的教堂,学校等等,仍要加冠词,例如:

I did not go to the college which my father went to.

(4)语言不要加冠词

英文中冠词的用法

一、英文中的冠词 1.英文中冠词共两类:定冠词“the”和不定冠词“a”/“an”,共三个。 2.不定冠词的用法: 1)用a还是an取决于后面单词的读音而非拼写。a用于辅音开头的单词前,an 用于元音(a/e/i/o/u)开头的单词前。如:a girl, an orange, a university, an SOS, a useful book, an honest man, a one-hour trip, an hour等。 2)不定冠词a/an与数词one同源,可理解为汉语的“一”,但不强调数目概念。不定冠词表示泛指,只能用于单数可数名词之前,泛指某一类人或物中的“任何一个”。如:His father is an English teacher./ James married a doctor./He worked as a taxi-driver./ I met an old friend of mine on my way here. 注意:以下情况要用one 而不用a/an: A.句子后面有another或other(s)相呼应时,如:They went from one shop to another./One girl wanted to go out,but the others wanted to stay at home. B.在一些习惯用语或搭配中,如one day, one morning, one afternoon, one evening, one night (表过去或将来),only one, just one等。如: One day I’ll take you to meet my family./He went out with Arthur to the University of California one Thursday afternoon./We’ve got plenty of sausages, but only one egg./There’s just one thing to be done. C. 用在具体数字前。如: How many are there? - Exactly one hundred and three. 3)与时间或度量衡等名词连用,表示“每一”。如: Take the medicine three times a day. 如果特别强调“每一个”,可用per代替a/an。如:$ 10 a/per person。 4)用在称呼(Mr., Mrs., Miss等)或具体人名前,含有“我不认识的某某人”的意思。如: A Mr. Wang phoned and left a message for you. A Jimmy is waiting for you downstairs. 3.定冠词的用法 1)定冠词the与指示代词this, that, these, those同源,但指示概念较弱。定冠词表示特指,用于被短语或从句所限定的特指名词之前。如: Tom sat down on the chair nearest the door./The woman whom you met at the meeting is my sister’s colleague. 2)用于因再次提及而成为特指的名词前。如: I bought a radio and a CD player, but the CD player did not work. 3)在谈话双方都知道所指是什么时。如: Can you turn off the light, please? 4)用于单数可数名词前,表示整个类属(一类人或物)。如: The tiger is in danger of dying out./We should care the disabled. 5)用在序数词和形容词最高级之前。如: Our flat is on the second floor of the building./Could you tell me the shortest way to the railway station? (表示日期时,书写序数词前可不写the,如:I’ll see you on May 26th.(口语中要读成:May the 26th.) 6)用于表示时间顺序的名词前。如:the beginning, the middle, the end, the first/last, the next,

初中英语冠词用法总结归纳

冠词 一.不定冠词 1.不定冠词a,an A用于以辅音因素或半元音因素/j/,/w/开头的单词。 An用于元音因素开头的单词 注意:元音因素开头的单词,首字母不一定就是元音字母例如,hour,honest等单词,看起来是以辅音字母开头,但是发音时辅音字母h没有发音,而是以元音开头,因此前面应加不定冠词an。而有些单词如university,uniform等单词,是以元音字母u开头,但是读音时u 发半元音/j/开头,所以前面应加a。 2.不定冠词的用法。 (1)用于可数名词的单数前,表示数量“一”,如: I have a new pen.

Mr. Smith is an engineer.

3)词组或成语。 a little / a few / a lot / a type of / a pile / a great many / many a / as a rule / in a hurry / in a minute / in a word / in a short while / after a while / have a cold / have a try / keep an eye on / all of a sudden 定冠词的用法 定冠词the与指示代词this,that同源,有“那(这)个”的意思,但较弱,可以和一个名词连用,来表示某个或某些特定的人或东西。 1)特指双方都明白的人或物: Take the medicine.把药吃了。 2)上文提到过的人或事: He bought a house.I’ve been to the house. 他买了幢房子。我去过那幢房子。 3)指世上独一物二的事物: the sun,the sky,the moon,the earth 4)单数名词连用表示一类事物: 如:the dollar 美元;the fox 狐狸;或与形容词或分词连用,表示一类人:the rich 富人;the living 生者。 5)用在序数词和形容词最高级,及形容词only,very,same等前面: Where do you live?I live on the second floor. 你住在哪?我住在二层。 那正是我要找的东西。 That’s the very thing I’ve been looking for.

英语语法:定冠词的类别的用法

英语语法:定冠词的类别的用法 定冠词的类别用法 一、与单数可数名词连用表类别 I hate the telephone. 我讨厌电话。 The cobra is dangerous. 眼镜蛇是危险的。 定冠词和不定冠词与单数可数名词连用都可表示“类别”,有时 可互换(此时用复数形式也是可能的): A horse is a useful animal. / The horse is a useful animal. / Horses are useful animals. 马是有用的动物。 【注】不定冠词表示类别时往往强调的是个体,主要起泛指作用,具有类似any的含义,如说A tiger can be dangerous(老虎是危险的),其意是指任何一只老虎都是危险的。但是,若要表示某个类属的 整体,即概括某个类属的所有成员,则不能用不定冠词,而用定冠词,如以下两例中的定冠词就不能换成不定冠词(但可用复数): The tiger is [Tigers are] in danger of becoming extinct. 老虎有灭绝的危险。 The motor car has [Motor cars have] become very popular. 摩托车已经变得很普及了。 另一方面,即使能够用定冠词加单数可数名词来表示某一类人或物,但在很多情况下这种用法会让人造成误解或含义不清。如说 Atiger can be dangerous(老虎是危险的),其意是清楚的,若说成 The tiger can be dangerous,则可能有歧义,即可理解为“老虎是 危险的”或“这只老虎是危险的”。又如“医生工资收入高”能够译 为Doctors are well paid,而通常不说The doctor is well paid, 否则会让人误解为“这个医生工资收入高”。

英语中冠词及其用法

冠词(Articles)及其用法 假设我们要翻译以下的中文句子: 他是聪明的孩子 He is a clever boy. 他是昨天来看我的孩子。 He is the boy who came to see me yesterday. 正确的句子是: He saw a cat. Swimming is a good exercise. Java is a computer language. The King of England died last night. He is the professor who taught me English. 我们知道大多数的名词前面要加冠词,但究竟要加a,还是the呢? 1 a和the之不同用法 a和the最大的不同,在于a后面的名词不是指定的,而the后面的名词是有所指的。我们不妨看以下的两个句子,他们都是正确的,但意义却不同。 John is a boy. John is the boy. 〝John is a boy.〞的意思是〝约翰是一个男孩〞,而〝John is the boy.〞的意思就完不同了,我们一定曾经提到过某一个男孩子,而约翰就是那个男孩子。可能的情形是:There is a boy who is very good in mathematics. John is the boy. 我们就以〝国王〞为例,如果我们泛指一般的国王,我们可以用复数,也可以用单数,但必须用a,以下是一些例子: Kings are also human beings. Even a king will die sooner or later. Have you ever met a king ? I do not like to be a king. He is an ordinary person, not a king. 如果我们的国王是指某一个特定的国王,就必须用the,举一个例子;如果我们说〝国王万岁〞,我们当然是指我们的国王,因此〝国王万岁〞的翻译就是Long live the King. 以下的例子都是正确 Here comes the King. The King is a popular person in our country. Even the King of England can not come in. He is not a boy who would cheat others. 他不是那种会欺骗别人的男孩子。 He is not the boy who cheated in an examination yesterday. 他不是昨天在考试中舞弊的男孩。 He is a King.〝他是一个国王〞。 如果说He is the King.〝他是我们国家的国王〞。 Please open a window.是指请开一扇窗子,随便哪一扇都可以。 Please open the window.〝the window〞一定是指某一扇特定的窗子,也许 这间房子里只有一扇窗,也可能他们谈话中曾经提到某一扇窗,〝the window〞就是指那一扇窗。 我们可以再举一个例,假如我们说,〝我们需要一场大雨〞,我们说 We need a heavy rain. 如果我们说,〝这场雨好大〞,我们说

冠词的基本用法

冠词的用法 定冠词the最早是指示形容词,意思接近this,that,因此在不少情形下仍可译作“这,那”,不过他的意思比“this,that”要弱一些,因此,在多数情况下都不译出。 Eg: Give me the book, please. Who is the man over there. 不定冠词a 和an 的基本意思是“一个”,在不少情况下也译成“一,每” Eg: She is a friend of mine. They paid him 100 yuan a day. I go home a month. 我每月回一次家。 在译文中,“一个”这类词有时不说出来。 Eg: She is a farmer’s daughter. 她是农民的女儿。 元音(不管是名词还是形容词)前用不定冠词an, 辅音前用不定冠词a. Eg: She is an honest girl. He comes from a European country. 不定冠词a, an 的基本用法 不定冠词只用在[C]单数前。 1,表示“一个”(one)或者“每一个”(each)。可用在许多常用词组中。 Eg: a suit of clothes, a quarter of a mile, five dollars a pound, at a blow(一下子),at a stretch(一连),one at a time(一次一个) Rome was not built in a day. 罗马不是一天建成的。 We have six classes a day. 2, 表示“某个”(=a certain) I took my things to a hotel in New Street. 我把行李搬到新街的一家旅馆去。 I cannot remember a Christmas then it snowed so much. 我想不起哪一年的圣诞节下过这样大的雪。 She picked up a novel and began to read. 3, 表示属于哪一类(译成汉语时有时不带“一”字)——可用在表语、同位语中: Eg: The peasant girl has become an engineer. 这位农村姑娘成了工程师。 The play was written by Shakespeare, a dramatist. 4, 与一名词一起用于表示某类人或物——用作句子的主语(译成汉语时常不带“一”字)Eg: A clever politician never promises too much. 聪明的政客绝不做过多的许诺。 Can a novelist shut his eyes to the state of his country? 小说家能不看国家的现实吗? 定冠词的基本用法 定冠词可用在各类名词前,包括单数、复数、可数、不可数。 1,表示一个或者某些特定的人或物。 Eg: I have seen the film before. 我以前看过这部影片。 The professor will give us a lecture. 这个教授将给我们做报告。 有时没有特别的修饰语,但说话人和听话人都知道指谁、指什么。
