TV sets made this year are of better quality than ____ made last year. A. that one B. the ones C. that D. those 《当代英语应试语法》(中国科技大学出版社,1995,p.261)说:“应选(D)。one 和 ones 只代替单个的名词,that 和 those 替代一个词组”。这种解释对吗?
说 one 和 ones 只代替单个的名词, 是缺乏事实根据的。请看下面的实例:
-
A: I'm looking for a book on grammar. B: Is this the one you mean? (the one = the book on grammar) (CGEL) A: 我在找一本关于语法的书。 B: 你说的是这一本吗？
-
I wish I'd bought a few jars of honey. Did you notice the ones they were selling by the roadside? (CGEL) (the ones = the jars of honey) (以上两例说明 one/ones 可替代名词中心词 + 后置修饰语) 我想买几瓶蜂蜜,你注意到路边卖的那些了吗?
-
If you want to buy an electric heater, you may be interested in this one in the window. (同上)(这个例句证明 one/ones 可以替代带前置修饰语的名词) 你要买电热器的话，你会对橱窗里放的这一个感兴趣的。
还应指出，在替代可数名词时，有时 the one/the ones 与 that/those 是可以互换的：
-
The blonde girls I saw were older than the ones[those] you were dancing with. (CGEL) 我看到的那些碧眼金发女郎比和你跳过舞的那一些年纪大一些。
-
The paintings of Gauguin's Tahiti period are more famous than the ones [those] he painted in France. (CGEL) Gauguin Tahiti 时期的油画比他在法国画的油画更加著名。由此可见，在上面的试题中，选 B 和 D 都是正确的。
请做下面的英语试题：
