在冠词的学习过程中,什么情况下使用冠词,什么情况下不使用冠词,我们都很熟悉。但下列不使用冠词的情况我们需特别注意。
1. 表示头衔、职务、职称、身份等的名词,在句中作表语、宾(主)补时,该名词常不与冠词连用。如:
Lincoln became President of the United States. 林肯成为美国总统。
Li Ming was made monitor of our class. 李明被选为我们班的班长。
2. turn作为系动词,且当“变成”解时,其后的表语若为单数可数名词,一般不用冠词。如:
His brother turned thief. 他哥哥成了小偷。
对比:His brother became a thief.
但作表语的名词前有形容词修饰时,则该名词前常有不定冠词。如:
His brother turned a GREat inventor. 他哥哥成了一位伟大的发明家。
3. 书名、标题前一般不用冠词。如:
Do you have “From Earth to Moon”? 你有《从地球到月亮》这本书吗?
Have you read “Oliver Twist”? 你读过《雾都孤儿》吗?
4. 以as,though引导的让步状语从句,名词放于句首时,该名词前常不用冠词。如:
Child as he is, he knows a lot about it.尽管他是小孩,但这件事他知道很多。
Girl though she was, she dared to face the enemy. 尽管她是女孩,但她敢面对敌人。
5. man,woman表泛指时,常不用冠词,且用单数形式。如:
Man will change nature. 人类将会改变自然。
Man tries to be a protector of woman.男人试图做女人的保护者。
6. word指“消息”,nature表示“自然;自然界”时,常不用冠词。如:
Word came that I was wanted on the phone. 有消息说有人给我打电话。
Is nature at its best in spring? 自然界在春天时最美丽吗?
7. 两个名词指同一个人时,后一个名词前常不用冠词。如:
The poet and writer is going to give us a talk. 这位诗人兼作家打算给我们做报告。
8. 当no用作形容词修饰名词,或与such连用修饰名词时,名词前常不用冠词。如:
She has no mother. 她没有妈妈。
There is no such word. 没有这样的单词。
9. 在“fool(man)+enough+to do”结构中,该名词前常不用冠词。如:
I was fool enough to accept his offer. 我接受他的提议真是够傻的。
10. 在“名词+介词短语”结构中,名词前常不用冠词。如:
The teacher came in, book in hand. 老师进来了,手里拿着书。
但在“with+名词+介词短语”结构中,名词前常要加冠词。如上面例句可改为:
The teacher came in, with a book in his hand.
