‘Dummy’ 代词 初学者

英语语法中的‘Dummy’代词

什么是 ‘Dummy’ 代词?

英语中的所有句子都需要一个主语才能完整,但有些句子似乎没有主语。在这些情况下,‘dummy’ 代词填补了句子中的主语位置。

英语中的 ‘Dummy’ 代词

英语中有两个 ‘dummy’ 代词:

it

there

It

‘dummy’ 代词 ‘it’ 可以作为主语出现在谈论时间、日期或天气的句子中。看看这些例子:

示例

It's 5 o'clock in the morning.

现在是早上5点钟。

It's January 3rd today.

今天是1月3日。

It's raining.

在下雨。

注意力!

‘Dummy’ 的 ‘it’ 在句子中没有实际意义,仅用于通过提供主语来完成句子的语法结构。不要将其与具有意义并指代真实事物的第三人称中性主语代词和宾语代词 ‘it’ 混淆。

There

单词 ‘there’ 被用作 ‘dummy’ 主语,以显示某种特定情况的存在。尽管 ‘there’ 并不指代任何具体事物,但它引入了句子所谈论的情况。看看这些例子:

示例

There are two chairs in the kitchen.

厨房里有两把椅子。

There was a loud noise outside.

外面有很大的噪音。

There must be a way!

一定有办法!
