★predeterminers前位限定词有:all,both,half;倍数词double,twice,threetimes等;分数词one-third,two-fifths等。★centraldeterminers中位限定词有:定冠词和不定冠词a/an,the;指示代词this,that,these,those;物主代词my,your,etc.John"s;不定数量词(代词)some,any,no,every,each,either,neither,enough,much;带ever的wh■词what(ever),which(ever)和whoever;疑问代词和关系代词what,which,whose等。★postdeterminers后位限定词有:基数词one,two;序数词和"一般序数词”first,second,last,next,other,another,additionalfurther;数量词(a)little,(a)few,fewer,several,many,more,most,much,least,less,plentyof,alotof,agreatdeal/quantity/amountof,anumberof,bags/loads/heaps/of等。◎跨类限定词:such,what和many.※一个名词中心词前不能并用两个前位限定词或两个屮位限定词,如:不能说mythatbook,而是thatbookofmine.但两个后位限定词不受此限,女U:threeothergirls;severalhundredtouristse.g.IseeadvertisementsforajobwithtwicethepayI"mgettingnow.(前屮)Itwasallyourfault.(前中)Johnandsomeotherboyswentswimming.(中后)Halftheothergirlsstartedtogiggle.(中后)Writeoneverytwolines.(中后)He,11stayherealltheselastfewdays.(后后)Notesuch,what,many的用法such作强化语为前位限定词(such二sogreatadegree),这时其后常带屮位限定词a(n)(suchaheavybox,suchalot);作非强化语为后位限定词(such=ofthesamekind),这时可以接不可数名词(suchfurniture)或复数名词(suchboxes),不能接单数名词(如suchbox),除非其前有后位限定词(onesuchbox)。当such前有中位限定词no或any时,仍为后位限定词,其后可接不可数名词或复数名词;也可接单数名词,但其后不能带a(n),因为中位限定词不能位于后位限定词后。e.g・Nosuchhelphasbeegiventome・Anysuchfactorsshouldbeconsidered.Nosuchathinghaseverhappened(错)
Nosuchthinghaseverhappened.(中位限定词a去掉,因为它不能位于后位限定词后)Anysuchacomputerwillmeetmyneed.(错)Anysuchcomputerwillmeetmyneed・many位于名词中心词前或后位限定词前时,为后位限定词(manychairs,manyotherthings);位于不定冠词前时,为前位限定词(manyachair,manyachild)owhat位于名词中心词前或后位限定词前时,为中位限定词(whatbooks,whatotherbooks),这时为非强化语;位于不定冠词前时,为前位限定词(whatashock,whatafool,whatabigbox),这时为强化语。3.3Pronotins***^Pronounconcordwithevery-,some-,any・compoundsasantecedentWhentheantecedentisacompoundsuchaseveryone,everybody,someone,somebody,anyone,anybody,noone,nobody,thepronounandthecorrespondingdeterminerusuallyfollowtheprincipleofgrammaticalconcordandtakethesingularform.Butininformalstyle,theycanfollowtheprincipleofnotionalconcordandtakethepluralform,especiallywhentheantecedentiseverybodyoreveryone.Notethatwitheverything,something,anythingandnothing,thepronounandcorrespondingdeterminercanonlytakethesingularfonn.Everyone,everybody后面常接复数代词,除非在很正式的文体中和演讲中才用单数,不过它们作主语时总是跟单数谓语动词。而everything,something,anythingandnothing只用单数代词。e.g.Anybodycanattendthemeetingifheisinterested・Everybodytalkedatthetopofhisvoice・Everyonewasclappingtheirhands・Anythingonthetablecanbethrownaway,can"tit?—Haseveryonefinishedtheirdrinks?-Haseveryonefinishedhisorherdrink?(正式文体中)—Anyonecandoit讦theytry/ifheorshetries(正式文体屮)・

e.g.Therestofthemenwillreceivetheirpaycheckwhenthenewfundsarrive.3)none作先行词吋,可用单数或复数第三人称代词指代,取决于none本身的含义。e.g.-Noneofthecommitteecouldrefusetosignhisnameonsuchaproposal.—Noneofthemenraisedtheirvoices/hisvoice.4)当数词+表示时间、金钱、距离等概念的复数名词作先行词时,通常用it來指代。e.g・一Threehundredthousanddollarswasfoundbecausethethiefdroppeditwhileescaping.5)单复数同形的名词作先行词时,用第三人称代词根据该名词所表达的单、复数意义选择相应的代词形式。e.g.—Althoughfishhavenovocalorgans,theyarestillabletomakenoises.—Theycaughtafishatseaanditweightedover500pounds・***3.3Topicsfordiscussion:1.具有两种不同意义的复数形式(Twoformsofthepluralwithdifferentiatedmeaning)有些名词的复数具有两种不同意思,一个与单数的意思相同,另一个则不同。请说出下列三个词的两种不同词意。arms手臂(复数);武器customs习惯(复数);关税minutes分钟(复数);记录2.aMiSmith,theSmiths,anorangejuice分别表示什么意义?解答:一位名叫史密斯的先生;史密斯夫妇;一瓶橘汁3.HeisafriendofJohnwhomarriedMary.thefriendofJohnwhomarriedMary.
afriendofJohn"swhomarriedMary.thefriendofJohrVswhomarriedMary.应该选哪个呢?语法书讲双重属格的P84上有例子说:Heisafriendofmyfather"s=Heisoneofmyfather"sfriends.而Heisafriendofmyfather=Heisfriendlytomyfather.我想这还是有明显区别的,befriendlyto不一定是friend,陌生人也可以对你很友好的。还有就是A和B选项会不会出现歧义呢?比如理解为是JohnmarriedMary?解答:选项D是错的。双重属格的第一个限定词不能是定冠词。选项B也不妥。此句没必要用定冠词。如用则拗口,不符合英语表达习惯。A,C都可能被视为是正确的表达。选C最佳。1.EXERCISE4E13(p.71)Theplaywasproducedbeforealloverthecountry.A.alargeaudienceB.largeaudiencesC.largeaudienceD.thelargeaudienee根据课木屮类似的例子(p.65)tohavetoomuchfamily?为什么不选C?解答:该题主要是为了表达戏剧在全国巡回上演,自然会有多批观众。实质上,选项A本身从表达上讲是很好的搭配。不过,audience虽然是集体名词,但并无抽象用法。C是肯定不行的,,而family在"havetoomuchfamilyn中已经脱离了集体名词的概念,不表示“家,家庭”,而是抽象用法,表示“家庭负担”。6.Ex.5D,No.13“Thehouseofmybrotherandsister-in-lawwasdamagedinthefire”和No.17“Thewivesofthebaseball"splayersoftenseethegames.”(p.82)为什么要把of■词组改成独立属格,本身of词组在这儿好象是正确的,是不是根据书上说“若of介词补足成分为指人的专有名词,而该of词组乂表示所有关系,在这种情况下通常用双重属格”,但因为这两个都是用定冠词the,不能用双重属格,所以用独立属格?解答:理解基本止确。但某些表述欠妥。答案改成"Mybro(herandsistc「inJaw"shouse"和“Thebasebcillplayers"wives”并非独立属格,而是地道的完整的原始的名词属格+名词
中心词构成的名词词组。独立属格是指原本位于名词属格后的名词中心词被省略的现象,详见P78-79o6.one作主语时,相应代词是什么?解答:one作主语时,美式英语中用he,him,his,himself作相应代词,而英式英语则用one,one"s,oneself作相应代词。7.Settlethequestionwithwhoeverwrotethereport,(p.150,Ex.9B,No.20)这里介词后面为什么用主格呢?解答:因为关系代词的格不因主句的形式而变化(即介词后须用宾格),而根据关系分句中关系词的功能而变化(如作主语则用主格,作宾语则用宾格)。详见P139oe.g.Thesergeantaskedwhoeverdidittostepforward.Theywillpaywhomevertheyfindtheartisttobe.8.95页(Ex.6D),第1题改错“Mrs.Blakehashadfewopportunitytotravel."答案是改成“littleopportunity能否改成afewopportunitiesw?两者有什么区别?解答:首先要弄清opportunity作可数和不可数用法时意义上的差异:[count]:afavorableorgoodoccasionortime(todosomething)(eg.anopportunitytoapologize);[noncount]:asituation,state,orconditionthatisfavorableforattainingorachievingagoal,orthatprovidesagoodpositionorchaneeforsuccess(eg.alandofopportunity)(RandaomHouseWesbster"sDictionaryofAmericanEnglish)o根据以上定义,我认为fewopportunitieslittleopportunity表达上都是正确的,其意义差别较微弱,因为此题意图只是希望保持形式上的一致。而且只能与复数名词搭配(见P85)不过由于原句强调“儿乎没有机会”,用lillle似乎稍微好一点。由于没有很多的上下文,我们难以判断说话人究竟是何意。9.95页(Ex.6D),第5题uIdon"tlikethiskindofapplesv为什么把apples改成apple?(STP45)10.JudgeandCorrecttheerror:A.alleveryyear,bothenoughbooks,halfeitherappleKeys:alltheyear,bothmybooks,halfthatappleB.Themostfarmersarestillusingtheoldmethods.
