III. Grammar Points 语法重点
本课介绍no与not的区别、代词one的用法,并复习连词but及because的用法。
- He wants expensive shoes, but he doesn't have any money.
= He wants expensive shoes, but he **has no **money.
(他想要贵的鞋子,但他没钱。)
no与not对初学英文的读者来说,有时是个头痛的问题。请先看下例
I have not money. ( X )
→I have no money. ( O )
(我没有钱。)
其实no与not很容易分辨
a. no是形容词,表示“没有一个”,而not则是副词,表示“不”的意思。
b. no就等于not any(没有任何一个)。换言之,no之后可直接置名词,而not则须先接形容词any,才可接名词。
例: I have not any money.(可)
=I have no money.(佳,no比not any更简洁)
(我没有钱。)
上列第一句中,not亦可置于动词have之前,形成否定句。但not不能直接修饰动词,须于其前按主语人称分置助动词do或does,再将动词改为原形。
例: he not has any money.( X )
→He does not have any money. ( O )
=He doesn't have any money.
=He has no money.
(他没有钱。) - He wants expensive shoes, but he doesn't have any money.
(他想要贵的鞋子,但他没钱。)
He is looking for one, but he isn't having any luck.
(他正在找工作,但他的运气不好。)
以上两句中的but是并列连词。这种连词连接两个主句。就写作习惯而言,but之前应置逗号。不过,现在的英美文章中,亦常见将but之前的逗号省略。 - He needs a job. He is looking for one, but he isn't having any luck.
(他需要一份工作。他正在找工作,但他的运气不好。)
a. 上列第二句中的one是代词,代替前面的名词a job。原句实为:
He needs a job. He is looking for a job,but...
但a job重覆了一次,就修辞而言应予避免,故用one代替。这个one专用来代替其前提过之单数可数名词。
例: I need a good English dictionary, but I can't afford a good English dictionary now. ( 劣 )
→ I need a good English dictionary, but I can't afford one now. ( 佳 )
(我需要一本好的英文字典,但我现在买不起。)
b. one亦可与形容词并用。
例: I don't like this red pen. Give me a yellow pen. ( 劣 )
=l don't like this red pen. Give me a yellow one. ( 佳 )
(我不喜欢这枝红色的笔。给我一枝黄色的笔。) - No one wants to give him a job because his shoes have holes in them.
(因为他的鞋子有破洞,所以没有人给他工作。)
本句中的because是从属连词,引导状语从句,修饰主句。because引导的从句t置于主句前后。就写作习惯而言,置于主句之前时,主句与从句之间应置逗号;若置于主句之后时,则主句与从句之间不置逗号。
例: Because he is knowledgeable, he has my respect.
=He has my respect because he is knowledgeable.
(因为他有学问,所以我尊敬他。)
其他从属连词如although(=though,虽然)、when(当)、if(如果)等用法皆同。
例: Although he is rich, I don't envy him.
=I don't envy him although he is rich.
(虽然他有钱,可我不嫉妒他。)
If I have time, I will do it.
=I will do it if I have time.
(我若有时间,就会做这件事。)

(这辆自行车很棒,但它太贵了。) - No one wants to give him a job because his shoes have holes in them.
