名词所有格它主要包括 's所有格、of所有格和双重所有格三种表现形式。
A. 's 所有格的用法
1. 表示有生命的东西的名词末尾加's。例如:Jim's bed, the man's wife, children's toys, the fox's tail
2. 以-es或-s结尾的名词末尾加"'s"。例如:the students' books, Teachers' Day, my boss' office, a girls' dormitory
3. 有些表示时间、距离、度量衡、价值、自然现象、国家、城镇等无生命东西的名词,也可以加's构成所有格。例如:today's newspaper, five minutes' walk,表示两者共同拥有的人或物(共有)时,只需要后一个名词加's(或')即可。如果表示两者各自的所属关系(各自所有),则每个名词词尾都加上's(或 ' )。例如:
Joan and Jane's room(房间属二人共同所有)
Joan's and Jane's room(指Joan和Jane各自的房间)
an hour and a half’s walk (步行一个半小时的路程)
4. 's所有格所修饰的词的省略现象
(1)表示诊所、店铺或某人的家等地点名词,其名词所有格后的被修饰语常常省略。例如:
I met her at the doctor's(office).我在诊所遇见了她。
He has gone to the tailor's(shop).他到服装店去了。
She went to Mr.Black's(house)yesterday.她昨天到布莱克先生家去
(2)名词所有格所修饰的词,如果前面已经提到过,往往可以省略,以免重复。例如:
Whose pen is this?It's Tom's.这是谁的钢笔?是汤姆的。
The bike is not mine,but Wang Pinpin's.这辆自行车不是我的,是王品品的。
的。
B. of 所有格的用法:
of所有格由of加名词构成,其用法归纳如下:
1. of所有格一般用于无生命的东西的名词中。例如:a map of the world, the story of a hero, the windows of the room, the title of the film
2. 用于名词化的词。例如:the sticks of the blind 盲人的拐杖
3. 修饰词较多时也可用of所有格。例如:
the very long and graceful tail of the black cat 黑猫的又长又美的尾巴
4. 表示有生命的东西的名词,有时也可以用of所有格。例如:
the children of the family 那家的孩子们
5. 某些of所有格和's所有格可以互换。the son of a poor peasant=a poor peasant's son 一个贫农的儿子
6. 某些of所有格和's所有格互换,有时含义却不相同,请比较下面的例子:
an old woman's story(一个老妇人讲自己的身世)
the story of an old woman(别人讲一个老妇人的身世)
7. 起修饰作用的名词,如不表示所有关系,通常不用’s。
例 room number,tooth brush
C. 双重所有格及其用法
's所有格和of所有格两种所有格形式结合在一起,构成"of+所有格"形式,即双重的所有格。它通常表示部分观念,即全体中的一部分,在意义上与"one of..."相似,它主要修饰of短语之前的那个名词。此外,双重所有格与指示代词连用时,常带有感情色彩,如赞赏、不满、厌恶等。它的主要形式如下:
1.名词+of+名词性物主代词。例如:
a good friend of mine 我的一个好朋友
an interesting story of his 他的有趣的经历
2.名词+of+'s所有格。例如:
He is a friend of my sister's.(=one of my sister's friends)他是我姐姐的一个朋友
Look at that long nose of Jack's.看杰克的那个长鼻子。(感情色彩)
试比较:
a picture of Xiao Zhang 小张(本人)的照片
a picture of Xiao Zhang's 小张(所拥有的照片中)的一张照片
1.不定冠词、数词、某些不定代词(some,any,many,no,few等)以及which等限定词,一般不与形容词性物主代词或's所有格等一起放在名词前修饰名词,而采用of所有格或双重所有格形式。例如:
most of the students 学生中的大多数
three of them 他们中的三个人
I have read some books of his.我读过他的一些书
Which book of Qiong Yao's have you read?你读过琼瑶的哪一本书?
's所有格、of所有格和双重所有格三者之间的细微区别
请仔细比较下面三句话:
1.She is Mary's brother's friend.
2.She is a friend of Mary's brother.
3.She is a friend of Mary's
1句用的是's所有格,侧重说明她和Mary的哥哥是朋友关系,突出friend一词。
2句用的是of所有格,侧重说明她和Mary的哥哥是朋友关系,强调突出了Mary's brother。
3句用的是双重所有格,侧重说明Mary哥哥的朋友不止是一个,她只是其中的一
