2.1 不定冠词的用法

第二章 冠词

冠词是虚词，本身不能单独使用，也没有词义，它用在名词的前面，帮助指明名词的含义。英语中的冠词有三种，一种是定冠词（the Definite Article），另一种是不定冠词（the Indefinite Article），还有一种是零冠词（Zero Article）。

不定冠词a (an)与数词one 同源，是"一个"的意思。a用于辅音音素前，一般读作[e]，而an则用于元音音素前，一般读做[en]。

1) 表示"一个"，意为one；指某人或某物，意为a certain。

A Mr. Ling is waiting for you.

2) 代表一类人或物。

A knife is a tool for cutting with.

Mr. Smith is an engineer.

3) 词组或成语。

a little / a few / a lot / a type of / a pile / a great many / many a / as a rule / in a hurry / in a minute / in a word / in a short while / after a while / have a cold / have a try / keep an eye on / all of a sudden

2.2定冠词的用法

定冠词the与指示代词this，that同源，有"那（这）个"的意思，但较弱，可以和一个名词连用，来表示某个或某些特定的人或东西。

1）特指双方都明白的人或物：

Take the medicine. 把药吃了。

2）上文提到过的人或事：

He bought a house. I've been to the house.

他买了幢房子。我去过那幢房子。

3）指世上独一物二的事物：

the sun， the sky， the moon， the earth

4）单数名词连用表示一类事物，如：the dollar 美元;

the fox 狐狸；或与形容词或分词连用，表示一类人：the rich 富人; the living 生者。

5）用在序数词和形容词最高级，及形容词only， very， same等前面：

Where do you live? I live on the second floor. 你住在哪？我住在二层。

That's the very thing I've been looking for. 那正是我要找的东西。

6）与复数名词连用，指整个群体：

They are the teachers of this school.指全体教师)

7）表示所有，相当于物主代词，用在表示身体部位的名词前：

She caught me by the arm.. 她抓住了我的手臂。

8）用在某些由普通名词构成的国家名称、机关团体、阶级、等专有名词前：

the People's Republic of China 中华人民共和国

the United States 美国

9）用在表示乐器的名词之前： She plays the piano. 她会弹钢琴。

10) 用在姓氏的复数名词之前，表示一家人：

3）抽象名词表示一般概念时，通常不加冠词；

4）物质名词表示一般概念时，通常不加冠词，当表示特定的意思时，需要加定冠词；

5）在季节、月份、节日、 假日、日期、星期等表示时间的名词之前，不加冠词；

9）当by 与火车等交通工具连用，表示一种方式时，中间无冠词；by bus，by train；

10）有些个体名词不用冠词；如：

school，college，prison，market，hospital，bed，table，class，town，church，court 等个体名词，直接置于介词后，表示该名词的深层含义；

go to hospital 去医院看病

a. 序数词前有物主代词

a. 位于下列形容词之后： such，what，many，half，
