人称代词有格 (case)
的形态变化,这当然也涉及反身代词、疑问代词、关系代词等
英语的人称代词有三种格 主格
(subjective case)
、宾格 (objective case)
、属格 (geniti ve
case) 。属格代词 (genitive
pronoun) 又叫物主代词 (possessive
pronoun), 按其语法功能分为名词性属格代词
(nominal genitive pronoun)
和限定词性属格代词 (determinative
gnitive
pronoun)一般说来,人称代词在句中作主语,用主格;作宾语或介词补足成分,用宾格;表示“所有"。
She doesn't believe
us. 她不相信我们。
They are always making
jokes about me. 他们总是取笑于我。
His house is
much larger than mine.
他的房子面积远大于我的房子面积。
但是事情并非都是如此简单 关于代词格的选择,情况比较复杂。
1) 主格还是用宾格
a)
人称代词在句中作主语,通常要用主格,但是,在非正式语体中,当人称代词用于不带谓语或者不带限定谓语动词的不完全句中作主语时,习惯上用宾格,而不用主格。
A: Does any of you
know where Tom lives?
有人知道汤姆的住处吗?
B:Me. 我。
What! Me angry?
Surely it's
him with the
red nose you
mean, not me!
真是! 我生气?
肯定是他,红鼻子的,你知道的,不是我!
What! Me (to) play him
at chess? No!
真是! 我跟他下棋?不呢!
Me (to) appease
a chap like him?
Nothing doing.
我让步于他? 没门!
b)人称代词在比较分句 (comparative
clause) 中作主语,用主格;作宾语,用宾格。
He isn't nearly as
smart as he (is).
他一点也不聪明,比不过他。
I trust you as
much as her.
我信任你,就像信任她一样。
但在非正式语体中,入称代词在比较分句中作主语,也可用宾格。
She is prettier
than me.
她很美丽,远胜于我!
You are much cleverer than her. 你很聪明,
远胜于她。
She is as tall as him.
她身高和他一样。
特别是当这类人称代词带有 all, both
作同位语时,通常都用宾格。
He is cleverer than
us all.
She is taller than them
both.
c)
人称代词在句中作主语补语时,按照传统语法,该用主格。但在实际使用中习惯上多用宾格。
A: Who
is knocking at the door?
是谁在敲门?
B: lti‘s me..
是我呢!
If I were her, I
would take the advice.
d) 人称代词在分裂句 (cleft
sentence) 中作中心成分(focal
element) 时,常用主格。
It is he who
did it.
It was she that
solved the problem.
It is we who
must bear the burden of the tax
program, even though it was
they who initiated it.
但在非正式语体中,作以上用法的人称代词也可用宾格。
It was me that
did it.
It was them who
saved the drowning girl.
如果作以上用法的入称代词在随后的 who- I
that- 分旬中处于宾语地位,则多用宾格。
It was him that I
sent to collect the money.
It is her that
we are talking about.
e) 当句子主语为everybody / nobody +but
/
except +
人称代词”的结构时,这种人称代词按照传统语法该用宾格,因为
but /except
是介词。但在实际使用中,只要人称代词出现在主语位暨上堂用主格。
Nobody but she
can solve our
problems.
Everybody except he
agreed to our proposal
但若以上主语被分隔而使 'but / except+
人称代词“这一介词词组出现在旬尾时,则入称代词用宾格。
Nobody can solve our problems
but her.
Everybody agreed to our
proposal but him.
如果 'everybody /
nobody + but
/ except
+人称代词“结构用作句子宾语,则人称代词只能用宾格。
I interviewed everybody but
him.
f) 在由人称疑问代词 who
导疑问句或从属问句中,疑问代词的格依其在句中的地位而定。在正式语体中作主语用主格,作宾语或介词补足成分用宾格。
Who can solve our problems?
Whom can we trust at
such a moment in history?
I don't know who can
solve our problems.
I don't know whom they finally
selected.
但在非正式语体中,人称疑间代词只要在主语位置上不论作主语或宾语都可用主格。
Who did you want to
nominate?
Who are you talking
about?
I don't know who you
want to nominate?
I don't know who you are talking
about?
但若人称疑问代词紧跟于介词之后,则只能用宾格。
To whom
did you
send the
parcel?
From whom did you receive a
letter?
g) 在由关系代词引导的分句中,
如果作主语的 who
之后跟有 believe, I
think 等插入语,在正式语体中
关系代词涌尝用主格。
Will you go and see Carlos,
who I believe
will be
glad to help
you?
She is a woman who
people
believe may be the president
of the
company some day.
h) 在由关系代品 whoever引导的名词性分句(nominal clause)中,,
其关系代词的格也是依其在分乍中的地位而定:作主唔
用主格作宾语或介词补足成分,用宾格。
They always
elect whoever is
popular.
他们选择的总是最受欢迎的!
I will not trust
whomever they
will elect.
我不会信任任何他们选上的人!
如果 whoever
是在不定式之后作补语,一般用宾格。
My sympathy is
with this poor man, whomever
he might be thought
to be.
2)宾格还是属格
a) 当带有人称代词作主语的关系代词
-ing分词分句在主句中作宾语时,人称代词通常用属格(或者叫物主限定词)。
I want to avoid
his /
John's thinking that I
don't want to
help.
I don't mind their /
the girls' changing their
minds.
但在非正式语体中,作以上用法的人称代词也可用宾格。
I want to avoid
him /John thinking that I
don't want to help.
I don't mind
them /
the girls changing
