词组 people(person)
释义
people : person — 661
1a. 前者是个集合名词,不宜用来指个别几个人(参见词目 662 );要用,以改用后者较为赅意。
例如:
A large number of people have assembled there. 那边已有一大群人聚集起来了。
Five persons were injured in the accident. 有 5 个人在事故中受了伤。
比较:
Who are those people standing over there? 那边站着的是些什么人?
Who are those persons standing over there? 那边站着的是哪几个人?
1b. 在科技专业的文件里,往往使用后者,不用前者。
比较:
The new hall holds 1500 people or so. 那幢新盖的礼堂能容纳 1500 人左右(一般用语)
The new hall holds 1500 persons. 礼堂设计的座位是 1500 个。(图纸上的用语)
2. 严格地说,后者的复数是 people ,不是 persons ,这是因为后者总是指一个一个可数的人。
比较:
People say that what's done is done. 人们说,木已成舟。(不说 Persons say that …)
Many persons say that what's done is done. 人人都说,木已成舟。(不说 Many people say that …)
