kind用作形容词和名词的相关要点
1. 用作形容词,意为“仁慈的”“善良的”“亲切的”,注意以下各句所搭配的介词:
The teacher is kind to [towards] us. 老师对我们很好。
It’s very kind of your brother to help us. 多谢你哥哥帮了我们的忙。
比较以下同义句型:
你这样说,真是太好了。
正:It is kind of you to say that.
正:You are kind to say that.
请你关一下门好吗?
正:Will you be kind enough to shut the door?
正:Will you be so kind as to shut the door?
2. 用作名词,表示“种类”,在用法上注意以下几点:
(1) 以下两类表达基本同义,但第二种表达更正式:
这种电脑质量很好。
正:This kind of computer is of good quality.
正:Computers of this kind are of good quality.
非洲有很多种蛇。
正:Many kinds of snakes are found in Africa.
正:Snakes of many kinds are found in Africa.
(2) kind(s) of 通常用于单数可数名词和不可数名词前。如:
one kind of flower (bread) 一种花(面包)
many kinds of car (bread) 许多种车(面包)
在非正式英语中,复数形式的 kinds of 和 sorts of 也可用于复数名词前(较少见),但单数形式的 kind of 和 sort of 通常不能用于复数名词前。如:
正:these kinds [sorts] of flowers (people) 这些种花(人)
误:this kind [sort] of flowers (people)
不过可以说:flowers (people) of this kind [sort]
