关于other的用法及解释
other及其变化形式在初中教材中多次出现,是比较重要的一个知识点,也是广大学生比较容易混淆的知识点之一,接下来小编在这里给大家带来other的用法,我们一起来看看吧!
other的用法
1. 基本义为“其他的(人或物)”“别的(人或物)”,使用时既要分清是特指还是泛指,还要分清是单数还是复数:表特指时其前用定冠词,表泛指时其前不用冠词;用于单数时后接单数名词或不接词(即用作代词),用于复数时后接复数名词或用others这样的形式。如:
Shut the other eye, too. 另一只眼也闭上。(单数特指)
It is not Tom but some other boy. 那不是汤姆,而是别的哪个男孩。(单数泛指)
Other people [Others] may not think that way. 别的人可能不这样想。(复数泛指)
I have seen two of the films, but not the others. 我只看过其中的两部电影,其余的没看过。(复数特指)
注意,英语可以说 one other friend(另外一个朋友),some other place(另外某个地方)等,但是不能说 an other book,要表示类似含义,可用another book。
2. 与数词连用时,通常应放在数词之后,其意为“另外的……个”;此时的other主要起区别作用,即将其后所修饰的人或事物与前面提及的相同人或事物区别开来。如:
Every member must bring one other person. 每一个会员必须带一个人来。
Mary rents a house with three other girls. 玛丽和另外3位姑娘合租一幢房子。
但若所修饰的名词带有定冠词表示特指,则other也可放数词之后或之前,但仍以置于数词之后为普通,此时表示“其余的……个”。如:
The faces of the other three girls were fixed on Alex. 其余3位姑娘盯着艾利克斯。
Police took the five other passengers to hospital. 警方将其余5名乘客送到医院。
但是,如果后面不接名词,other则必须置于数词前。如:
The other six are masterpieces. 另外6本都是杰作。
另外,表复数意义的others前也可以用数词修饰(因为others=other+复数名词)。如:
Three others lay wounded. 另外3个人受伤躺在那里。
There were four of them, two police cars and two others. 共有4辆车,2辆警车和2辆其他车。
3. 与 all, some, any, every, no等限定词连用时,应置于其后;其后若需再接名词,该名词根据情况可用单数或复数。如:
Swallows fly faster than any other bird. 燕子飞得比其他鸟要快。
Jane and some other girls went shopping. 简和另外的一些女孩出去买东西。
Moral beauty ought to be ranked above all other beauty. 品德美应列于其他美之上。
In no other part of the world is more tea consumed than in Britain. 世界上再没有一个国家像英国那样爱喝茶的了。
注意,every other有两个完全不同的意思是,一是表示“每隔”,相当于every second;二是表示“其他所有的”,相当于all the other。如:
They visit us every other week. 他们隔周到我们这儿来。
Every other girl except me is wearing jeans. 除了我以外,其他姑娘都穿着牛仔裤。
4. 有时还可以与物主代词连用,置于其后。如:
All my other patients are fine. 我的所有其他病人都很好。
Our other branch is just a few doors down the road. 沿这条路再走几家就是我们的另一个分店。
Those trousers are dirty—you’d better wear your other pair. 这条裤子脏了——你最好穿另一条。
5. 注意不要误解the other day, the other morning, the other night, the other week, the other month等的意思,它们表示不久前的一天、一个上午、一个星期、一个月等。如:
I saw your friend the other day. 前几天我见到你的朋友。
Betty asked about you the other night. 前几天晚上贝蒂问到你。
6. others 与 some 对比使用时,others 表示 some(一些)的含义。如:
Some people said yes and others said no. 有人赞成,有人反对。
Some people enjoy exercise, others don’t. 一些人喜欢运动,而另一些人则不喜欢。
another和other的用法区别
1. 不定代词other相当于名词或形容词,可以在句中作主语、宾语、定语等。相当于名词时,有复数形式others。
作主语:He has two toys. One is for me, the other is for himself.
作宾语:I have two pictures. You have seen one. Now I will show you the other.
作定语:There are other ways of helping him out of difficulty.
2. 不定代词another是由an和other构成,由此可以判定它只能代替或修饰可数的单数名词,前面不再用冠词。可以在句中作主语、宾语、表语和定语。
作主语:One (girl) wanted to read, and another wanted to watch TV.
作宾语:Please give me another.
作表语:She is a fool, and her sister is another.
作定语:Would you like another cup of coffee?
3. 对比other与another
(1)the other 用于两者中的另一个,another 指三者以上中的另一个:
He has two toys. One is for me, the other is for himself.
All these are not good. Show me another, please.
(2)another 还有 “再……” 的意思,other 有 “另外” 的含义:
Have another cup of coffee, please. 再喝一杯咖啡吧!
The girl is much cleverer than other three. 这女孩比另外三个都聪明。
(3)修饰数词的结构不同:数词+other+复数名词= another+数词+复数名词:
这周我多看了两本书。
I read two more books this week. =I read two more books this week.
(4)one another 与 each other:两者均表示“彼此”、“互相”。
一般认为,each other 用于两者间,one another 用于三者或以上,但在现代英语中,两者常可换用。
We should always help each other.
They don’t agree with one another.
另外,童鞋们还要注意,注意:other表泛指,the other 表特指,与其复数others和the others 同理。
