在初中英语中,表示“人”的词主要有man, person, people, human等。它们虽然都可以表示“人”的意思,但是用法却有区别,现小结如下,以便同学们学习时参考。
一、man作名词用时,表示人、人类、男人等意思,其复数形式为men,泛指人、人类,指人类时,用单数。例如:
All men must work hard, then we can feel interested. 人必须努力工作,然后我们才能感觉到乐趣。
We know labour creates man now.
现在我们知道劳动创造了人类。
There is a man in black on the playground.
操场上有一个穿黑衣服的男人。
注意:man的复数形式是men,与它相对应的词woman (妇女)的复数形式是women,与它们有密切联系的policeman(男警察)的复数形式是policemen, policewoman(女警察)的复数形式是policewomen,不过不要以为都是这样,walkman(随身听)的复数形式是walkmans,German(德国人,德语)的复数形式是Germans。
在英语中,名词修饰名词时,名词作定语修饰名词置于名词前,修饰语一般用单数,例如:cat bread 猫粮,some sugar refineries 糖厂,shoe shops 鞋店,然而,当man、woman 当名词修饰语,表复数时,却要用作复数。例如,some men doctors一些男医生; some women teachers一些女教师。
二、person作名词用时,是指人的普通用语,是可数名词。例如:
There is a person I want to meet.
那儿有一个我想遇到的人。
There are five persons in the sitting-room.
客厅里有五个人。
The person in red is one of my best friends.
穿红衣服的那个人是我最好的朋友之一。
注意:与其紧密联系的词形与词性的变化,personal个人的、私人的;personally亲自地;personality个性、人格。
三、people当其是集体名词时,本身是一个复数,词尾不可以再加-s。它指两个或两个以上的人,意为“人、人们”,其前不能用不定冠词a, an或基数词one 修饰。例如:
There are six people in his family.
他家有六个人。
A lot of people like playing basketball in our school. 我们学校有许多人喜欢打篮球。
Do many people like watching TV at home? 许多人喜欢在家看电视吗?
注意:people意为“民族、种族”时,为可数名词,直接在词尾加-s。其前可以用a, an, one来修饰。例如:
There are fifty-six peoples in China.
中国有五十六个民族。
We all know this is a great people.
我们都知道这是一个伟大的民族。
How many peoples were there one hundred years ago in this country? 一百年前这个国家有多少个民族?
the people可以指“人民”也可以指“某些人”,这时the people指代的也是复数。例如:
We should study hard for the people.
我们应该为人民努力学习。
The people in the garden can speak English very well. 花园里的那些人英语说得很好。
We should think about the people at first. 我们首先应该想到人民。
四、human既可以当形容词用,意思是“人的、人类的”,又可以当名词用,意思是“人、人类”,特别强调是与动物相对的人类。例如:
They like doing much work by human means. 他们喜欢用人力的方式做许多工作。
The team solved a lot of problems within human ability. 小组在人力所能及的范围内解决了许多问题。
When the earth is hotter, we should think of human impacts on climate. 当地球更热了,我们应当考虑人类对气候的影响。
注意:human being 是指和动物相对而言的人类,可指一个人,比如,a human being 一个人;human nature 人性。
