| 释义 | this here, that there The frequency with which admonitions against the use of this here and that there are included in handbooks on writing suggests that students everywhere are composing essays in some sort of backwoods idiom: "Well, now, this here Captain Ahab fella gets hisself all riled up agin that there whale " For all we know they might be, but our evidence from published sources shows that writers in general have no need to be told that this here and that there are something less than standard English. The use of here and there for emphasis following a demonstrative adjective is a characteristic of dialectal and substandard speech. It does not occur in writing except when such speech is being recorded, evoked, or imitated: • Brush, brush, brush, that there brush kept on swearing through its teeth, proper savage, it was —Richard Llewellyn, None But the Lonely Heart, 1943 • "My back's nearbout broke and I ain't able to do another lick. This here kitchen looks like a hog sty." —Margaret Long, Louisville Saturday, 1950 • ... and he said, "Say, mister, ain't this here number we're headin' for that house full o' junk ... ?" — Marcia Davenport, My Brother's Keeper, 1954 See also this 2. |
