SAT寫作要點:代詞的用法
SAT寫作之如何正確使用代詞
使用代詞的時候,應明確其所指稱或代表的先行詞。如果容易引起歧義,應明確寫明先行詞,不用擔心重復。例如:
錯誤:The teacher told the student he was lazy.
正確:The student was lazy, and the teacher told him so.
避免用this、that、it或which來指代整個短語或句子,即使這些代詞與其指代的先行詞很近,你可以用這些詞再加上一個名詞來指代。例如:
錯誤:The salesman spoke loudly, swayed back and forth, and tapped the table nervously, which made his customers extremely nervous.
正確:The salesman spoke loudly, swayed back and forth, and tapped the table nervously, mannerisms which made his customers extremely nervous.
除非指代天氣,否則句子開頭不要用it指代。
錯誤:It is difficult to distinguish between the scent of roses and that of tulips.
正確:T o distinguish between the scent of roses and that of tulips is difficult.
少數不定代詞(some、all、most、any、none)既可以指代單數名詞,也可以指代復數名詞。當這些代詞做主語時,必須明白其先行詞是單數還是復數。
錯誤:His superiors have been following his progress. Some are more impressed than others. None are overwhelmed.
記住:以-body、-one、和-thing結尾的代詞在數上始終是單數含義;both、few、many、several等代詞在數上始終是復數含義。
