指示代词和指示限定词
指示代词 (demonstrative
pronoun)this, that,
these ,
those 与指示限定
(demonstrative
determiner) 同形,关于这两类词的用法可以放在一起阐述
另外,还有一个such类似于指示代词和指示限定词。
1) 指人还是指物
指示代词 this/that, these/those
通常指物,不指人。

or
more deaths.
这就导致了二十多人的死亡。

more comfortable than that. 这把椅子更舒服,好过那一把。
Things such as these
are the best themes (主题)
for poets.
事物如果是这样就是最好的主题,可以献给诗人。

those best. 在所有的照片中,我认为那些最好。
但是,指示限定词的用法比较灵活,它们既可指物,也可指人 试比较:
x Is she going
to marry than?
Is she going to
marry that man?
她会嫁给那个男的?
x Come and meet
these ove he
e.
Come and meet these
people over here.
来见见这几位,来这边。
当指示代词单独用作某些 SVC
结构的主语时,它们才既可指物,也可指人,比如当说话人时,可以说:
This is my
sister.这是我妹妹。
That is her
husband.那是她的丈夫。
These my parents. Those are
my children.这两位是我父母。那些是我的孩子。

have registered?
这些是学生,已经注册了吗?

Susan? (电话用语)我是约翰尼,你是苏珊吗?
总之,用指示代词指人是受到严格限制的。
2) 指近还是指远
对千说话人来说,指示对象距离的远近也关系到指示词 (demonstrative)
的选择间题 一般说来,指近用 this
/these; 指远用
that/those 。

这是我的朋友查理·布朗。

(pointing out someone in
a crowd). 那是大卫,我的室友。

the second-class passengers,
and those on the
top floor are for the
first-class
passengers.

/those
则常用以表示过去的事态。Suddenly he
