在不一样的书上看到 such 有时是前位限定词,有时是后位限定词,它到底是什么限定词啊!
关于限定词的二条要紧规则:
1 假如一个名词前有不止一个限定词时,限定词需要根据前位、中位和后位的顺序排列,不允许颠倒。
2 前位限定词互相排斥,中位限定词互相排斥,但后位限定词不互相排斥,只须逻辑不矛盾,可以同时用二个或更多的后位限定词。
因此知道常用限定词都有什么,与它们是什么限定词就是必要的了。
前位限定词:all, both, 倍数词,分数词,what (a), such
中位限定词:冠词、指示代词、疑问代词、关系代词、人称代词、名词所有格、some, any, no, each, every, either, neither,enough
后位限定词:基数词,序数词,many, much, more, most, few, fewer, fewest, little, less, least, other, another, several, such.
such和a/an连用时,为前位限定词,没a/an时,为后位限定词。感叹代词what与a/an连用时,为前位限定词,没a/an时,为中位限定词。
汉译英错误剖析:
我公司没如此一个人。
There is no such a man in our company. (误)
There is no such man in our company. (正)
There is not such a man in our company. (正)
剖析:such与a连用,为前位限定词,no为中位限定词,不定冠词为中位限定词。第一句有两个原则性错误,a 前位限定词such和中位限定词no地方颠倒;b 一个名词前用了二个中位限定词。no=not any或not a.
他的这个女儿真漂亮。
His this daughter is really beautiful. (误)
This his daughter is really beautiful. (误)
This daughter of his is really beautiul. (正)
剖析:人称代词和指示代词都是中位限定词,不可以同时用在一个名词前。改正的办法是保留指示代词为限定词,用名词性物主代词作介词宾语后置修饰名词。
His both daughters are married. (误)
Both his daughters are married. (正)
剖析:both为前位限定词,his是中位限定词,顺序不可以颠倒。
