至于 friendship 的单数形与复数形在用法上的区别,除上述单数的“友谊”和复数的“友善”外,还有下面这样一点分别:
1704787755
1704787756
复数形常指“许多朋友彼此之间的交谊”,例如大学同学可以培养出许多的友善关系,就说 college friendships.至于两个人之间的友谊,如说 the friendship between Henry and James,就不可以改成 friendships.质问中的句子是说一个人对其余一些人之间的友谊,所以也不宜用复数。

英文疑难详解 Ⅱ.代名词
1704787763
1704787765
13.不可以说 I think to do so my duty.须用代名词 it 来代替不定词,而说成 I think it my duty to do so.
1704787766
1704787767
“我觉得这样做是我的义务。”译成英文为 I think to do so my duty.为什么不通呢?

【解答】英文的不定词近乎是一个万能的词儿,它可以作名词、形容词、副词用。所谓名词,如 To teach is to learn.(教学相长),主语是一定要用名词的。还有宾语也非名词不可,所以 I like to teach.(我喜欢教书),to teach 是动词 like 的宾语,自然也成为名词了。但用作主语或宾语,总是不太好的,惯用法要尽量避免,例如 To waste time is wrong.(浪费时间是不对的。)在文法上原不错,不过英文惯用法爱把这句说成:
1704787770
1704787771
It is wrong to waste time.这表示不喜欢用不定词作主语,要凭空找出一个代名词的“it”来,放在主语的地位上,而把原有的不定词移到后面去。在宾语的场合,就比这更为严格,简直认为说 He does not think to waste time wrong.是错误的,原因是念起来太拗口了,他们一定要说: He does not think it wrong to waste time.句中的“it”就是代表不定词的,因为作宾语用的不定词是最受反对的。质问中所提出的例句,译得不通就是这个道理,应改译为: I think it my duty to do so.
1704787772
1704787773
在“作为动词”中的 think,find,show,prove 等字,后面接的宾语,如果是不定词时,务必加一个“it”进去,说来就合乎惯用法了。再举一例如下:
1704787774
1704787775
我认为那个要实行很难。
1704787776
1704787777
不可译作 I found to put it in practice very difficult.应该用一个“it”来放在不定词的地位上,然后把那原来的不定词移到句子的后面去,即 I found it very difficult to put it in practice.
1704787778
1704787779
有时候为加强语气也用得着这个代名词的“it”,例如说 A teacher’s duty is to teach,或 to teach is a teacher’s duty.(一个教师的义务就是教书。)并不为错,但为着加强语气而改成了:
1704787780
1704787781
It is a teacher’s duty to teach.如果追问 what is a teacher?(教师是干什么的?)那回答说: A teacher is a person whose duty is to teach.(教师是一个有教书义务的人。)但如果要把上面含有加重语气的“it”的句子作为根据来回答时,便是:
1704787782
1704787783
A teacher is a person whose duty it is to teach.普通这种含有关系代名词的复句,大都是用加重的说法如:
1704787784
1704787785
He appeared to be a tough little man whose one object in life it was to avoid work.(他看来是一个粗暴矮小的人,他生在世上唯一的目的,就是避免做事情。)
1704787786
1704787787
Most large companies have trained specialists,called personnel managers,whose job it is to interview and pass judgment on prospective employees.(大多的大公司都训练有称为人事经理的专家,他们的工作就是接见和决定可能雇用的人员。)
