[析]由either…or, neither…nor,or连接两个主语时,如果两主语是单数时,用单数代词,如两主语是复数时,用复数代词,如:Either teachers or students want to do their best to help the old man.如是一单一复两名词时,一般将单数名词放在前,复数名词放在后,要用复数代词,如:The teacher or his students will clean their classroom together.
[误]His brother is taller than him.
[正]His brother is taller than he.
[析]than是连词,其后应视为省略句,than he is.所以要注意区分其主格与宾格的用法。
I like you as much as she.
[正]I like you as much as her.
[析]as…as 其后也应看作是省略句。应为as I like her.所以应用宾格。而第一句应译为我像她那样喜欢你。两句语法都是对的但含义不同。
[误]Myself did it yesterday.
[正]I myself did it yesterday.
[正]I did it myself yesterday.
[析]反身代词不可作主语,但可以用作主语的同位语。
[误]Take care of ourselves.
[正]Take care of yourselves .(yourself)
[析]祈始句的主语应看作第二人称you.
[误]Please bring your daughter with yourself.
[正]Please bring your daughter with you.
[析]反身代词不能作介词宾语,除非是由不及物动词与介词组成的动词短语,如: The old woman spoke to herself.
