◇ Indefinite Pronouns - One(s)
不定代名詞 one, ones
前文已提過的事物或東西,在後文中常會有省略的情形,其目的即是在避免用字的重覆。 例如: I have a few books on Chinese food. You can borrow one if you want. "Which cake would you like?" "The one in the front." 本單元中所談的 one 其實應把它看做是一種「可數名詞」的形式,不是嗎?所以別懷疑,就和其他的可數名詞一樣,這裡的 one 也有複數形,而它的複數形也和其它的可數名詞一樣,就是直接在其後加上 s 即可,也就是 ones。請接著看底下的例句:
Example:
1. Those croissants we had in France were so much better than the ones we get here.
我們當初在法國吃的可頌麵包比我們這裡有的好吃多了。
2. Please make a copy for everybody in the office and a few extra ones for the visitors.
請幫辦公室所有人印一份,並未訪客再多準備幾分。
3. The books you recommended are the same as the ones Pacey recommended.
你推薦的書跟 Pacey 推薦的一樣。
