新概念英语 - 小编笔记
小编笔记:
butcher's, greengrocer’s, my mother's,这种语法现象叫做名词所有格 (Possessive Case) 用于表示某人的家或店铺的省略形式。这是一个非常常见且地道的英语表达习惯。我们来详细解析一下:
这种结构的完整形式是:my mother's house(我母亲的家), the butcher's shop(肉铺), the greengrocer's shop(蔬菜水果店)。但在日常口语中,当上下文意思明确时,人们会省略掉后面的 house, shop, place 等名词,只保留 所有格形式 ('s)。又例如:The doctor's = the doctor's office (诊所),I have an appointment at the doctor's tomorrow. (我明天在诊所有个预约。),The dentist's = the dentist's office (牙医诊所),The hairdresser's = the hairdresser's salon (理发店/美发沙龙)
How are you all keeping? 你们身体都好吗?这样的问候,是英式英语的一种有点老式、真挚、贴心的表达,在美式沟通种,用的人不多,美国人多少有些没心没肺,他们往往说“ how are you all doing?” 粗枝大叶的。大概如此,我想说的是,我自己应该不会怎么用这种表达,以免交浅言深,反而尴尬。
we are going to spend 3 days in the country,we are going to stay at my mother's for the week-end, are going to do sth..我们打算做什么。。
