词组 | people |
释义 | 1.a people 和one people 都是“一个民族”,不是“一个人”。peoples 是“多个民族”,不是“多个人”。比较下面每组里的两语: a people or two 只指“一两个民族”,不指“一两个人”,因为a people 决不可指“一个人”。 2.a people 和one people 当作单数或复数都可以。在当作单数的时候,该当作属于中性。例如:A people is often known by its customs. 3.the Chinese people, the German people 等表达方式指“全民族”。 4.people 用作“家属”(指父母、兄弟、姐妹等人)前面用 my,his 等词。例如:My people used to live in the country.和 My wife's people are staying with us now.以及 I'd like you to meet my people. 5.two people, a hundred people, many people 等表达方式很普通,有人以为该改用 persons,但事实上不普通。 |
