Why not try on that pair?(that为可数名词复数)
问:为什么 that 不用加复数 those?
陈老师:
that pair 表示一个单数意义,那双其表达含义也就只有1双,既然只有一双,就不能用those, those用来代替前面的提到复数名词以避免重复。
The cars made in America are much cheaper than those made in Japan
that用来替代前面提到过单数可数名词和不可数名词以避免重复。
The weather in Beijing is much colder than that in Guangzhou .
下面都表示单数含义(第5除外)
(1)that pair 等于那双(单数)
(2)this pair of shoes(单数)
(3)that pair of shoes(单数)
(4)a pair of shoes(单数)
(5)two pairs of shoes(表示复数含义)
好老师:
呵呵,这么简单的问题还用问啊。pair 本身是单数,怎么能用 those 修饰呢? 除非 pair 是复数,即those pairs. Why not try those pairs? 也是正确的。
