He expressed that he had heard ____.
A. no such story B. such no story C. not such a story D. no such a story
我选了D,对吗?
此题应选 A。such a(an) + 单数可数名词结构,你已经很熟悉了。但是,可以看出,你还不熟悉 no such + 单数可数名词结构。可以这样来记忆:在 such 之前有 no, some, any, one 等词时,就不能再使用不定冠词 a(an) 了。例如:
-
“No such person lives here.” “这里没有这个人。”
-
He said he hadn't got time or made some such excuse. 他说他没有时间,或是诸如此类的借口。
-
In any case I don't believe in magic, there is no such thing. 我无论如何也不会相信魔法，世上压根儿没这种玩意儿。
-
She had no right to do any such thing. 她没有权做任何此类事情。
[附注]根据薄冰教授的研究,偶尔也有人使用 no such a thing 这种不规范的结构。请做下面的英语试题：
-
We were very much surprised that the village was such long way from the road. (全国研考, 90-37)
-
My Scottish friend says there is ____ monster in Loch Ness.
A. no such thing as B. no such thing as a
C. no such a thing as D. no such a thing as a (全国英语专业四级,93-58)
