使用代词one的若干用法注意
1. 当one之前有带定冠词的比较级和最高级形容词时,one可以省略。如:
Smith said that his friend’s car was the most expensive (one). 史密斯说他的朋友的小车是最贵的。
There were two sorts of dictionaries in the bookstore, he only bought the cheaper (one). 书店里有两种字典,但他只是买了较便宜的。
2. 当one 前有定冠词并与上下文形成对比的形容词连用时可省略。如:
I’d prefer the large battles to the small (ones). 我喜欢大瓶的,而不喜欢小瓶的。
This house is bigger than my last (one). 这房子比我以前住的要大。
3. 当one的前置定语只有this, these, that, those, either, neither, another, the last, the next, which等限定词时可省略。如:
You can take this one; I’ll keep another (one). 你可以拿这个,我拿另一个。
It doesn’t matter; either (one) will suit me. 没关系,随便哪一个我都合适。
五、one和it
one的意思是泛指的,用于指代“不定冠词+名词”;而it的意思则是特指的,用于指代“定冠词或物主代词+名词”。比较:
A:Can you lend me a pen? 你能借给我一支钢笔吗?
B:Sorry. I haven’t got one. 对不起,我没有钢笔。
A:Can I borrow your pen? 我能借你的钢笔吗?
B:Sorry, I’m using it. 对不起,我正在用着。
