this, that, these, those作為限定詞的用法

■山東  羅  芳

作限定詞時(shí)，this和that用于單數(shù)名詞詞組中，名詞詞組既可以是可數(shù)的也可以是不可數(shù)的。 These和those要用于復(fù)數(shù)名詞詞組中。例如：

Whoever had come up with this idea deserved a medal. 無論是何人提出這個(gè)主意都該獲得獎(jiǎng)牌。

But what happens when all this money is used up? 但當(dāng)這些錢用完以后會(huì)發(fā)生什么事呢？

I hope to enjoy that feeling again before too long. 我希望過不了太久會(huì)重新享受那種感覺。

Someone put that book there after the murder, to make it look as if he’d been reading when he was killed. 有人在謀殺他之后把那本書放在那里以造成他在讀書時(shí)被殺的印象。

These chairs have the great advantage of being much cheaper than conventional ones. 這個(gè)椅子具有比普通椅子便宜得多的優(yōu)勢。

You think if those people still have him they’ll keep him alive. 如果他還在那些人的手里，你認(rèn)為他們會(huì)留他一條活路嗎？
