不定代名詞的用法

英語中的不定代名詞常常讓很多人在使用時需要注意句子中的動詞而造成“困惑”。以下是各個不定代名詞的詳細用法說明供您參考。

當不定代詞作主語時，動詞用單數

最常見的不定代名詞，例如： someone, something, anybody, anything, nobody, nothing, each, every, either, neither, another, one 都有一個單數的含義。因此，在使用這些代名詞作為主語時，我們也會使用單數動詞來表示主語和動詞數量上的一致。

例如:

Everyone has to learn English at school, because it is a compulsory language.

大致翻譯：每個人都必須在學校學習英語，因為這是一門必修語言。

Someone spilled this pot, causing the soil to fall all over the floor.

大致翻譯：有人打翻了種這種植物的花盆，土掉一地上。

Looks like someone is here. I have heard someone calling for help many times.

大致翻譯：看起來有人在這裡。我多次聽到有人呼救。

當代詞出現在形容詞前面

不定代名詞可以放在形容詞前面，具有表達某事或某人的狀態或品質的含義。

例如:

Is there anyone handsome in the piano class?

大致翻譯：鋼琴班有帥哥嗎？

Anyone want to go out and enjoy the breeze with me?

大致翻譯：有人想和我一起出去透氣嗎？

使用所有格與不定代名詞指人

不定代名詞指人在所有格中使用，以表達對某個群體的總體所有權。要將所有格與不定代名詞一起使用，請在不定代名詞後面添加 s。

例如:

Everyone’s rights should be respected and accepted.

大致翻譯：每個人的權利都應該得到尊重和接受。

It’s nobody’s business. It’s a common job for everyone to do.

大致翻譯：這不關任何人的事。這是大家一起做的公幹。

不定代詞用於否定句

否定句中（含 not）、使用不定代詞組 any- (anything, anywhere, anyone).

在具有否定含義（不包含 not）的句子中，使用前綴為 no- (nobody, no one, nowhere) 的不定代名詞，而不使用前綴為 any-的代名詞。

例如:

She doesn’t have anything to do => She has nothing to do.

大致翻譯：她沒什麼事可做。

He doesn’t have anything to give you => He has nothing to give you.

大致翻譯：他沒有什麼可以給你的。

不定代詞用於沒有名詞的從句

不定代名詞用來代替可數或不可數名詞，表達不定的數量。當用於沒有名詞的從句時，不定代名詞通常充當句子的主語或賓語。

例如:

I played against most of the opposing team’s athletes in the last tournament.

大致翻譯：在上屆比賽中我幾乎與方球隊的大多數運動員比過賽。

Out of all the teachers at my school, there’s only one I don’t like.

大致翻譯：在我學校的所有老師中，只有一位我不喜歡。

注意：為了更清楚地表達句子的意思，可以使用這樣的結構：不定代詞 + of + 名詞短語。 “of” 後面的名詞短語必須附有限定詞 “the” 或所有格形容詞，例如：your、my、their、…

使用不定代詞時的注意

英語中不定代名詞的使用方法除了上述之外，還需要注意以下幾點：

如果在句子中使用了帶有否定含義的不定代名詞，那就不會使用“not”。

例如:

No one can answer that question = Everyone cannot answer that question.

大致翻譯：沒有人能回答那個問題。

在否定從句中，我們使用帶有前綴 no- 而不是 any- 的不定代名詞。

例如:

Nobody knows who he is – 沒有人知道他是誰，而不是 Anybody knows who he is – 誰都知道他是誰.

當動詞與不定代名詞變位時，要注意動詞的單數和複數。

23. There are severe consequences when copyrighted contents are distributed freely for______.

Yet this is not only a problem of finance but also an issue of morality. The proclivity of taking others’ work without permission is a form of disregarding their rights and stealing their work. From a broader perspective, when authors’ intellectual property is not respected, they may be less likely to positively contribute to society.

Local news, furthermore, gets people to know the issues that may have a direct impact on them.

A. Nothing B. Something C. Anything D. Nobody
