不定代词

不明确指代某个(些)人、某个(些)事物的代词叫不定代词。可以代替名词和形容词,表示不同的数量概念。没有主格和宾格之分,在句中可作主语、宾语、表语、定语等。

不定代词的分类如下表所示:

1 all, both

1 all 和both均可表示“全部都”,all指三个或三个以上的人或物,both仅指两个人或物。all of /both of后为名词时,of可省略,但为宾格代词时不可省略。

All ( of) the peace-loving peoples wish there to be no wars.所有热爱和平的民族都期盼消除战争。

Both ( of) my parents are non-smokers.我父母都不抽烟。

She invited both of us to her birthday party.她邀请我们两个参加她的生日宴会。

2 all指事物的整体或抽象概念时当作单数,指人时当作复数。

All is going perfectly.一切进展顺利。

All are here.So let's get started.所有人都到齐了,咱们开始吧。

3 all,both作主语同位语时应位于实义动词之前,系动词、助动词或情态动词之后。

My parents both like coffee very much.我父母都很喜欢咖啡。

You should all hand in your work by tomorrow.明天你们必须都把作业交上来。

4 在简略答语中,不可置于句尾。

—Were all the poems written by Emerson?这些诗都是爱默生写的吗?

—Yes, they all were.是的,都是。

高频考点 ……………………………………………………………………………………………… all与both的常见结构

all后可直接加不可数名词或可数名词的复数,也可在all与名词之间加the,my, your, this, that, those,these等。

both后只能修饰可数名词复数,或在both与可数名词复数之间加the,my,your等。

both students 两个学生都

both the students 这两个学生都

both my books 我的两本书

all money 所有的钱

all the money 所有的钱

all of the money 所有的钱

all of it 所有的

all of them 他们中所有的人

2 one

不定代词one指代可数名词,既可指人,也可指物。one既可以单独使用,也可以放在单数可数名词前作定语。其复数形式为ones,所有格形式为one's,反身代词为oneself。

1 单独使用,泛指“人”“一个人”“人们”。可以出现one's和oneself 与之呼应。

One should do one's/his best at all times.一个人无论何时都应尽最大努力。

One should take care of oneself/himself.一个人应当照顾好自己。

2 表示具体的“一个人”或“一个事物”。

Miss Gao is a maths teacher,one who is both strict and kind.高老师是一个数学老师,一位既严格又和蔼的老师。

This is the one you're looking for.这就是你要找的那一个。

高频考点 …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… one修饰名词

当one前面有形容词修饰时,形容词前必须有冠词或代词。

the best one 最好的 a nice one 一个好的 her last one 她最后的一个

3 替代上文已出现过的单数可数名词或复数名词。

I prefer red roses to white ones.我喜欢红玫瑰胜过白玫瑰。

I don't like this cell phone,the one you just showed me.我不喜欢这部手机,就是你刚才给我看的那一部。

疑难辨析 ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… it与one

it和one都可以替代上文出现过的名词,但二者有区别。it指上文出现过的特定的事物,即同一事物,而one则代替与前面事物同属一类事物中的一个,并不是同一个事物。

The electrical fan is new, but it doesn't work well.这个电扇是新的,但不好用。(同一台)

This electrical fan doesn't work well.I'll try a new one.这个电扇不好用,请给我换一个新的。(不是同一台)

3 none

不定代词none通常相当于名词,在句中作主语、宾语等。意为“没有人”“没有东西”。既可替代可数名词的单数形式,也可替代不可数名词,还可替代复数名词。

要点拓展

1 each作同位语时,谓语动词应和真正的主语保持一致。

We each have received a special gift from the teacher.我们每一个人都收到了老师的特殊礼物。

2 every 可与-one,-body,-thing 等合成不定代词 everyone,everybody,everything等。

5 some, any

当不知或不提确切数量,只表示“一些、若干”时,用some或any,两者既可用作代词,也可用作形容词(后接名词)。some常用于肯定句中,any常用于否定句、疑问句和条件句中。二者在句中都可作主语、宾语和定语。

1 一般情况下,肯定句中用some,否定句、疑问句和条件句中用any。但some有时也用于疑问句,表示说话者的肯定语气。any有时也可用于肯定句中,表示“任何一个”“任何一些”;not (…) any=no。

Would you like some coffee?你想喝点咖啡吗?(表明说话者的礼貌及肯定语气)

Any normal child can pick up a language very quickly.任何正常的儿童学习一门语言都非常快。

I don't know any person here.=I know no person here.这里的人我一个也不认识。

2 “some/any of+…”结构作主语时,谓语动词需要根据of后面的名词单复数而定。

Some of them agree, and some of them don't.他们中有些人同意,有些人不同意。

3 some和any既可以修饰或替代可数名词复数,也可修饰或替代不可数名词。some 不能代替可数名词的单数形式。修饰可数名词单数时,some意为“某个”,相当于a certain。

Will you please give me some advice?给我提一些建议好吗?(修饰不可数名词)

8 many, much

1 many和much是表示数量的不定代词,在句中既可起名词的作用,也可起形容词的作用,可作主语、宾语、定语等,意思为“许多”“大量”。many修饰或替代可数名词复数,而much修饰或替代不可数名词。

Many hands make light work.人多好办事。

Sorry, I'm afraid I can't go with you.I've got much work to do.对不起,我恐怕不能和你去了,我手头有很多工作要做。

Many don't agree to this plan.有很多人不同意这个计划。

2 many作主语时谓语动词用复数,much 作主语时谓语动词用单数。many和much后面可以加of短语,of 后必须为代词this,that, these, those, you, us,them等,或为the,my, your, this, that, these,those加名词形式,此时many和much相当于名词。

Much of the work has been finished.这项工作的大部分已完成。
