4. 双重所有格。双重所有格就是指同时既使用 -’s 所有格又使用 of 所有格。如：

a friend of my father’s 我父亲的一位朋友

a photo of Mr Smith’s 史密斯先生的一张照片

注：被双重所有格修饰名词前有指示代词时，通常带有一定的感****彩(如赞赏、不满、厌恶等)。如：

That little daughter of your cousin’s is really lovely. 你表哥的那个小女儿真是可爱。(表赞赏)

That daughter of your cousin’s is constantly complaining. 你表哥的那个女儿老是在报怨。(表厌恶)

另外，有时是否使用双重所有格会导致意义的变化。比较：

a photo of Mr Smith’s 史密斯先生收藏的一张照片

a photo of Mr Smith 史密斯先生照的一张照片
