主謂一致 (2)
主 謂 一 致一、主謂一致 主謂一致有許多原則,概括起來(lái)不外乎三種一致原則,即 , (語(yǔ)言內(nèi)容上一致), (謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復(fù)數(shù)形式和緊位于其前的主語(yǔ)一致)。 1.毗鄰一致(就近原則) (1)由連詞or, nor, neithernor, eitheror, not only but also, notbut.等連接的并列主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復(fù)數(shù)形式按毗鄰一致的原則,與貼近它的主語(yǔ)一致。例如: 1) He or you have taken my pen.2) You or he has taken my pen. 3) Are either you or Mary to go to the meeting?(2)在there be結(jié)構(gòu)中,謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復(fù)數(shù)形式一般也采取就近原則,根據(jù)BE后的第一個(gè)名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)確定謂語(yǔ)的單復(fù)數(shù)形式。例如: 1)There is a desk and four benches in the office. 2)There are four chairs and a desk in the office. 3)Are there two exercise books and a dictionary on the desk.2.概念一致(語(yǔ)言內(nèi)容上一致及意義上的一致) 關(guān)鍵在于主語(yǔ)名詞的特殊性(1)有些集合名詞如crowd, family, team, orchestra(管弦樂(lè)隊(duì)), group, government, committee, class, school, couple 等,它們作主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的數(shù)要根據(jù)語(yǔ)言內(nèi)容而定。如果它們表示一個(gè)“集體單位”時(shí),動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式;如果表示“其中的各個(gè)成員”,則謂語(yǔ)用復(fù)數(shù)形式。關(guān)鍵是正確理解他們是表示“單位”還是表示“單位成員”例如: 1)Our class is made up of 56 students.2) Their class are having a meeting now.3) The team is headed by a very experienced coach.4) The team are having a bath in the bathroom.注:如這類詞后跟有定語(yǔ)從句時(shí),定語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也遵循概念一致的原則,強(qiáng)調(diào)具體成員時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù),關(guān)系代詞用who; 強(qiáng)調(diào)整體時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù),關(guān)系代詞用which。例如: 1) It is my family which is a happy one.2) I love my family who are all sports lovers. (2)有些表示總稱意義的名詞,形式上是單數(shù),而意義上卻是復(fù)數(shù),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用復(fù)數(shù)形式,如people, police, cattle, poultry(家禽)等。例如: 1)Cattle were allowed to graze on the village common. 2)The police are searching for a tall dark man with a beard. (3)有些名詞形式上是復(fù)數(shù),而意義上卻是單數(shù)。如news, means, works.還有許多以ics結(jié)尾的學(xué)科名稱,如economics, physics, mechanics, politics等,還有以S 結(jié)尾的書(shū)名、國(guó)名、組織機(jī)構(gòu),它們作主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)形式。例如: 1)Politics is required for study in most middle schools in China. 2)Here is the news. 3) The United States is the only superpower in todays world.4)Every means is impossible.5) All means are impossible.注:以S 結(jié)尾的山脈、群島、瀑布(falls)、海峽(straits)等做主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。The Summer Olympic Games are held every four yeas.(4)數(shù)詞表示重量、度量、衡量、價(jià)值、時(shí)間、距離等復(fù)數(shù)名詞作主語(yǔ),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式。例如1) Twenty miles is a long way to walk. 2) Three pints isnt enough to get me drunk.
