3、TIVE DETERMINER，what, which, whose. 不定限定詞（INDEFINITE DETERMINER，no, some, any, each, every, enough, either, neither, all, both, half, several, many, much, (a) few, (a) little, other, another. 基數(shù)詞（CARDINAL NUMERAL和序數(shù)詞（ORDINAL NUMERAL 倍數(shù)詞（MULTIPLICATIVE NUMERAL和分?jǐn)?shù)詞（FRACTIONAL NUMERAL 量詞（QUANTIFIERa lo

4、t of, lots of, plenty of, a great of, a good deal of, a large of, a small amount of, a quantity of, a great of, a good number of等。 限定詞與名詞詞組中心詞之間有著某種固定的搭配關(guān)系；如果名詞之前帶有兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的限定詞，則限定詞與限定詞之間也有某種固定的搭配關(guān)系。本講主要解決這兩種搭配關(guān)系問(wèn)題。 1 限定詞與三類名詞的搭配關(guān)系 限定詞的選擇決定于隨后的名詞的類別，是單數(shù)名詞、復(fù)數(shù)名詞，還是不可數(shù)名詞。 1能與三類名詞搭配的限定詞 有些限定詞如the, some,

5、any, no, other, whose以及my, your等物主限定詞和名詞屬格（John's, my friend's等能與三類名詞搭配。例如： the book, my book, my friend's book, John's book, any book, some book, no book, the other book, whose book, the books, my books, my friend's book, John's books, any books, some books, no books, the ot

6、her books, whose books, the money, my money, my friend's money, John's money, any money, some money, no money, the other money, whose money. 2只能與單數(shù)名詞搭配的限定詞 有些限定詞如a(n), one, another, each, every, either, neither, many a, such a 等只能與單數(shù)名詞搭配。例如： each worker, either book, an apple, another book,

7、such a book, every student, neither sentence, one copy, many a book.3) 只能與復(fù)數(shù)名詞搭配的限定詞 有些限定詞如both, two, three, another two / three, many, (a) few, several, these, those, a (great) number of等只能與復(fù)數(shù)名詞搭配。例如： both workers, several students, a number of essays, many students, (a) few words, these / those bo

8、oks, two / three visitors, another two / three students. 4) 只能與不可數(shù)名詞搭配的限定詞 有些限定詞如a (little) bit of, a great amount of, a great deal of, (a) little, much等只能與不可數(shù)名詞搭配。例如： a bit of water, a great amount of labour, a great deal of work, (a) little space, much noise. 5能與單、復(fù)數(shù)名詞搭配的限定詞 有些限定詞如the first, the s

9、econd, the last, the next等既可與單數(shù)名詞搭配，也可與復(fù)數(shù)名詞搭配。例如： the first rose, the last man, the next meeting, the first roses, the last men, the next meetings. 6能與單數(shù)名詞和不可數(shù)名詞搭配的限定詞 有些限定詞如this, that, (the) least等能與單數(shù)名詞和不可數(shù)名詞搭配。例如： (the) least sign (of prejudice), this / that job, (the) least knowledge, this / tha

10、t work. 7能與復(fù)數(shù)名詞和不可數(shù)名詞搭配的限定詞 還有些限定詞如a lot of, lots of, enough, more, most, such, other等可與復(fù)數(shù)名詞和不可數(shù)名詞搭配。例如： a lot of books, a lot of money, lots of chickens, lots of food, plenty of chairs, plenty of water, enough copies, enough coal, more articles, more time, most people, most work, such men, such bre

11、ad, other men, other bread. 不定量限定詞less原先只與不可數(shù)名詞搭配，但在現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)中，less既可與不可數(shù)名詞也可與復(fù)數(shù)名詞搭配。例如： less money, less mistakes. 2 限定詞與限定詞的搭配關(guān)系 以上講的是限定詞與三類名詞的搭配關(guān)系。除上述搭配關(guān)系外，限定詞與限定詞之間還存在著一定的搭配關(guān)系。在名詞詞組中心詞之前如果有兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上限定詞出現(xiàn)時(shí)，就會(huì)產(chǎn)生限定詞的先后順序問(wèn)題。按其不同的搭配位置，限定詞可分為： 1中位、前位、后位限定詞 按照限定詞與限定詞之間不同搭配位置，限定詞可分為中位限定詞（CENTRAL DETERMINER、前位限

12、定詞（PREDETERMINER和后位限定詞（POSTDETERMINER。 a) 中位限定詞包括a(n), the, zero; this, that, these, those; my, your, etc; Merry's, my friend's; some, any, no, every, each, either, neither, enough; what(ever), which(ever), whose等 b) 前位限定詞包括all, both, half; double, twice, three times, etc; one-third, two-fif

13、ths, etc; what, such, (a / an)等 c) 后位限定詞包括one, two, three, etc; first, second, third, etc; next, last, other, another, etc; many, much, (a) few, (a) little, fewer, (the) fewest, less, (the) least, more, most; several, plenty of, a lot of, lots of, a great / large / good number of, a great / good dea

14、l of, a large / small amount of; such等 2) 三類限定詞的搭配關(guān)系 如果一個(gè)名詞詞組帶有上述三類限定詞，其搭配關(guān)系總是按照"前位中位后位"的順序排列。例如： all前the中four后teachers. all前your中three后books. all前these中l(wèi)ast后few后days. 如果只有上述兩類限定詞，其搭配關(guān)系仍按上述順序。例如： half前his中l(wèi)ecture. those中l(wèi)ast后few后months. several后hundred后guests. all前other后students. such前a中mi

15、sfortune. some中such后alloy. 由上述諸例可以看出，中位限定詞之間和前位限定詞之間是互相排拆的，即一個(gè)名詞中心詞之前不可并用兩個(gè)中位限定詞或兩個(gè)前位限定詞。所以，"我的那本書"不是* my that book而是that book of mine，因?yàn)閙y和that同是中位限定詞，不可同時(shí)并列。但后位限定詞的使用卻不受此限。除上述those last few months, several hundred guests之外, this last two books, the first two chapters, three other girls,

16、two more sheets, the next few weeks, many more copies, a few more samples, another twenty tons等都是后鎂限定詞重疊使用的實(shí)例。 個(gè)別限定詞有跨類現(xiàn)象，如such既屬于前位限定詞，又可歸入后位限定詞。由于它只是在such a.和such an.這樣的搭配中屬于前位限定詞，而在與其他限定詞(some, any, no, all, few, another, other, many, one, two, etc)搭配時(shí)，such則是后位限定詞，一律放在上述這些限定詞的后面，如some such, any s

17、uch, nosuch, few such, one such等，因此本書把它歸入后位限定詞。 3 若干限定詞用法比較 前兩節(jié)介紹了限定詞與三類名詞以及限定詞與限定詞之間的搭配關(guān)系。下面介紹一些限定詞（包括相應(yīng)的不定代詞的某些習(xí)慣用法問(wèn)題。( 本節(jié)所講的"不定代詞"多屬于"名詞性替代詞"（NOMINAL SUBSTITUTE，參見(jiàn)37.1) 1many, much, a lot of, lots of, plenty of 表示"多"的意思，可用many, much, a lot of, lots of, plenty of等。但是m

18、any, much常用于否定句和疑問(wèn)句，而a lot of等則常用于肯定句。例如： I haven't seen many English films. 多數(shù)英文電影我沒(méi)看過(guò)。 many修飾可數(shù)名詞 Have you seen many English films? 多數(shù)的英文電影你都看過(guò)嗎？ many修飾可數(shù)名詞 I haven't done much work today. 我還沒(méi)有做多少活呢。 much修飾不可數(shù)名詞 Have you done much work today? 今天你已經(jīng)做了很多活嗎？ much修飾不可數(shù)名詞 I have seen a lot of /

20、done very many. Have you done much work today? -Yes, I've done a lot. 當(dāng)然，以上所講many / much常用于否定句和疑問(wèn)句并不是絕對(duì)的，尤其是在下列場(chǎng)合many / much也常用于肯定句： a) 用于whether / if引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)分句中。例如： I doubt whether / if there'll be many people at the show on this rainy day. 我懷疑在這個(gè)雨天里會(huì)有很多人看表演。 I wonder whether / if he has much

21、information on this subject. 我想知道在這個(gè)題目上他是否知道很多消息。 b) 用于由"how / too / so / as+ many / much (+中心詞)" 構(gòu)成的名詞詞組中。例如： He took so many boxes with him that he had to call a taxi. 他身邊帶著太多的箱子，不得不叫計(jì)程車。 It's really surprising that the child has so much strength at his age. 真是很驚奇，在這個(gè)年齡的孩子居然這么有力氣。 Yo

22、u can take as many copies as you need. 你可以根據(jù)你的需要想拿多少?gòu)埦湍枚嗌購(gòu)垺?You can use as much oil as you need. 根據(jù)你的需要想用多少油就用多少。 I have (far) too many books on the shelf.

23、o know how much money will be spent on the project. 我想知道將在這個(gè)計(jì)劃花費(fèi)多少錢。MUCH修飾不可數(shù)名詞MONEY。 c) 用于在句首作主語(yǔ)以及在"存在句"中作實(shí)義主語(yǔ)的名詞詞組中。例如： Many people would like to take holidays abroad. 許多人喜歡去國(guó)外渡假。 Much coal has been saved through the use of the new device. 通過(guò)用新的裝置，很多煤被節(jié)省下來(lái)。 There are many girl students i

24、n my class. 在我的班級(jí)里有許多女學(xué)生。 There is much coal left in the mine. 在煤礦有很多的煤剩下。 同樣地，a good / great many也可用于肯定句。例如： I have read a great many English novels. 我已讀過(guò)大量的英語(yǔ)小說(shuō)。 2) (a) few, (a)little 表示"少"的意思，可用(a) few, (a) little, 既可用作限定詞，也可用作不定代詞。a few, a little表示"少量"，帶有肯定意義。例如： Let's in

25、vite a few friends to come with us. 讓我們來(lái)邀請(qǐng)幾個(gè)朋友來(lái)和我們?cè)谝黄稹?Here are a few more books on this subject. 在他的課題上有少量的書。 There are only a very few left. 只有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)剩下。 I'm keeping the few that remain for tomorrow. 我保住剩下的一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)為明天。 I had a little difficulty in solving the problem. 在解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題上我有一點(diǎn)困難。 Give me a little o

26、f that wine. 給我一點(diǎn)那種酒。 I'm trying to use the little French I have just learnt. 我正在試用我剛學(xué)的一點(diǎn)法語(yǔ)。 few / little 若不與a 連用則表示否定意義，相當(dāng)于not many / much, not enough。例如： I have very few (chocolates) left. 我剩下不多的巧克力。 Few (children) were tired. 很少的學(xué)生累了。 I have very little (money) left. 我有為數(shù)不多的錢剩下。 I understood

27、little of his speech. 他的演講我懂一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。 要注意，quite a few, a good few. not a few不表示"少"，而表示"相當(dāng)多"的含義，相當(dāng)于, a fair number (of)。例如： Quite a few of us are getting worried. 我們相當(dāng)多的人正在擔(dān)心。 You'll have to wait a good few weeks. 你將不得不等上相當(dāng)多個(gè)星期。 little 的比較級(jí)和最高級(jí)是less 和least, 通常只能用與不可數(shù)名詞搭配，但在當(dāng)代英語(yǔ)中也有用

28、less與復(fù)數(shù)搭配的。例如： If only there were less holes in the roof. 如果房頂僅是少量洞。 但這只見(jiàn)于非正式主體；在正式主體中仍用fewer較少，為好。 3) some, any 要表示"一些"的意思，可用some, any。 some 是肯定詞（ASSERTIVE WORD，常用于肯定句；any是非肯定詞（NONASSERTIVE WORD，常用于否定句或疑問(wèn)句。例如： There are some letters for me. There aren't any letters for me. Are there a

29、ny letters for me? I seldom get any sleep these days. any也常用于條件分句以及帶有否定含義的句子中： If you have any trouble, please let me know. 如果你有任何麻煩，請(qǐng)讓我知道。 I forgot to ask for any change. 我忘了要一些零錢。 當(dāng)說(shuō)話人期待肯定回答時(shí)，some也可用于疑問(wèn)句, 比如當(dāng)說(shuō)話人期待來(lái)信時(shí)，他可以問(wèn)道： Are there some letters for me? 當(dāng)購(gòu)物時(shí)向售貨員提問(wèn)或者主人向客人表示款待時(shí)，也可在疑問(wèn)句中用some: Could

30、I have some of these apples? Would you like some chocolate cake? 當(dāng)some與單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞搭配時(shí), some相當(dāng)于a certain（"某一"的含義；而any與單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞搭配，則相當(dāng)于 every（"任何一個(gè)"的含義。例如： Some boy has broken a window. 有個(gè)男孩打破了窗戶。 Any child could answer that question. 任何一個(gè)孩子都可以回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題。 4) all, both, every, each, either, nei

31、ther, any 這一類詞，除every只能作限定詞外，都是既可作限定詞，也可作不定代詞。例如： all (of) the boys. both (of) the boys, every boy / every one of the boys, each boy / each (one) of the boys, either boy / either (one) of the (two) boys, neither boy / neither (one) of the (two) boys, any boy / any (one) of the (three or more) boys,

32、由上述諸例可以看出，這一類的限定詞和不定代詞在用法上有以下值得注意之處： a) 表示"全體"，可用all 和both, 但all表示三個(gè)或三個(gè)以上人或物的"全體"，而both則表示兩個(gè)人或物的"全體"。例如： All the four applicants are below the average. 所有這四位申請(qǐng)者都在平均數(shù)以下。 All these last few days the farmers have been busy fighting drought. 在最后這幾天里，農(nóng)民曾經(jīng)忙于抗旱。 Both his paren

33、ts are against his going there alone. 他的父母兩個(gè)人都反對(duì)他單獨(dú)去那兒。 The man was blind in both eyes. 這人的兩眼都瞎了。 如果要表示"全體都不"的意思，當(dāng)"全體"為三個(gè)或更多的人或物時(shí)，通常用none。例如： None of the students failed the examination. 沒(méi)有一個(gè)學(xué)生考試失敗。 I'll have none of your stupid ideas. 我不能接受你的那些糊涂觀念。 在上述第一例中，既可用none, 也可用no on

34、e: No one failed the examination. 但no one只能指人，不能指物。 如果要表示兩個(gè)人或物"都不"，通常要用neither: Neither student / Neither (one) of the (two) cars was made in Japan. 兩輛車沒(méi)有一輛產(chǎn)自日本。 b) 表示全體中的"每個(gè)"，如果這個(gè)"全體"包含三個(gè)或更多的人或物，通常用every。例如： Every student in the class took part in the performance. 這個(gè)班的

35、每個(gè)學(xué)生都是這個(gè)表演的一部分。 His every action shows that he is a very determined young man. 他的每個(gè)行動(dòng)都顯示了他是一個(gè)堅(jiān)決的年輕人。 如果這個(gè)"全體"包含兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的人或物，便可以用each。例如： Each side of the street was crowded with people. 街道的兩邊都擠滿了人。 在這里，不可以用every。如果說(shuō)"廣場(chǎng)的每一邊都擠滿了人"，那就既可用each, 也可用every: Each / Every side of the square was crowded with people. 廣場(chǎng)的邊上擠滿了人。 every 與each 的區(qū)別還在于every 指許多人或物中的"每個(gè)"，側(cè)重在全體，近乎all的含義。例如： Every student failed the ex
