核心问题
All of the members have parachutes(降落伞) but they do not open the parachutes for a long time.
这是《中华第一名校高考高分解疑》(首都师大出版社,p.117)所提出的短文改错题,并作了如下解答:
“All of→All the members = All of them”
请问 All of the members 果真是错误用法, 因而必须改为 All the members 吗?
词典解答
实际上,all of the members 和 all the members 都是正确的用法,而且在语义上并没有什么区别。因此,上面的所谓改错题实际上并没有什么错误。例如:
Have you drunk all(of) the milk? (CIDE) 你把牛奶全都喝完了吗?
