基本要点
1. people的基本意思是“人,人们”,是集体名词,没有复数形式,在句中作主语时,谓语动词用复数。泛指“人们”时其前不加定冠词the.
2. people与定冠词the连用时,其含义为“人民(群众)”,指一个国家的或全世界的人民或者与统治阶级相对的“人民”,没有复数形式。
3. people还可作“民族,种族”“被共同文化联合在一起的集体”解,是可数名词,“一个民族”是a/one people,多个民族时用其复数形式peoples. 其前有a, one或every等词修饰时,谓语动词多用单数形式。用it或itself指代, people在句中作主语时,谓语动词用单数或复数均可,但以用复数者居多。
4. 在口语中,people常指“家人,亲属”或“特别的场所、团体和职业的人们”,在句中作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。

词语辨异
 ♣ people, masses, mob, populace, rabble
 这五个词均可指“某国或某一地区的居民”。其区别是:people的意思是“人”“人们”“人民”,是最普通的词,经常是中性含义,用于大批人或不精确说明人数的场合,有时也可指少数人或精确说明人数的场合;populace的意思是“居民”“平民”,几乎唯一地指某地区的居民;masses用于指“普通群众”; mob的意思是“一群人”“乱民”; rabble的意思是“下层民众”“暴民”。例如:
 The Chinese people are an industrious people. 中国人民是勤劳的民族。
 Nearly the entire populace turned out to listen to his speech. 几乎所有的人都出来听他演说。
 The masses have boundless creative power. 人民群众有无限的创造力。
 Streets were crowded with mobs of workers going home after work. 街上挤满了一群群下班回家的工人。
 The explanations of tax reforms were good enough for the rabble. 对税制改革的解释对这些下层民众来说是够好的了。
 ♣ people, nation, race, state, tribe
 参见race条。
 ♣ people, person
 这两个词都可表示“人”,在正式用语中persons常用来代替people. 其区别是:people指的是广义上的,指世间的人,大数目或数目不确定的人;person往往指的是狭义上的,指个别的人,小数目或数目确定的人。试比较:
 
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?

 ♣ people, public
 参见public条。
 ♣ 下面两个短语意思不同:
 
the people of Europe
欧洲人民
the peoples of Europe
欧洲各民族

正误解析
1. 她是个好人。
 [误] She is a nice people.
 [正] She is a nice person.
 [析] people作“人”解时,是集合名词,不用于单数意义。
2. 人们说米要涨价。
 [误] The people say that the rice price will rise.
 [正] People say that the rice price will rise.
 [析] people泛指“人”时,不加定冠词。
学习参考
1. 在英式英语中, people是person的复数形式。然而一些美国作家在这方面比较保守,在指一定数量,尤指较少数量的人时,喜欢用persons. 在英式英语中, persons只能用在关于法律的上下文中,或基督教徒所信仰的上帝的三位一体中。
2. people可与数词连用。例如:
 There are ten people present. 有10个人出席。
peoplev. [′pɪːpl] (peoples; peopled; peopling)
双解释义
 vt. 居住于 live in (a place)
基本要点
1. people用作动词时意思是“使住着人,使有居民”。
2. people还可表示“使…充满”,常与with连用,多用于文学语言中,且常用于被动结构。
