用主格代词还是用宾格代词
主格代词和宾格代词的用法是近几年高考试题考查的热点之一,许多考生因为没有掌握好这方面的知识而常常出错失分。请先看下面这道高考题:
( NMET 2003 )- Susan, go and join your sister cleancing the yard.
- Why ______? John is sitting there doing nothing.
A. him B. he C. I D. me
此题的正确答案是 D .
下面我们探讨一下在什么情况下用主格代词,在什么情况下用宾格代词。
1. 英语口语中习惯上用人称代词的宾格作表语。例如:
It's me. 是我。( It's I. 为正式用法。)
What would you do if you were him?
如果你是他,你怎么办?
I didn't expect the winner to be her.
我没有料到获胜者会是她。
2. 宾格代词常出现在下面这样的感叹句中:
( 1 )- He's got to repay the money.
他必须偿还这笔钱。
- Poor him! 他真倒霉!
( 2 )- She won the match. 她赢得了比赛。
- Lucky her! 她真走运!
3. 如果作主语的人称代词孤立地用于无谓语动词的句子中,常用宾格代词。在省略句中通常用宾格代词。例如:
( 1 )- I like watching TV. 我喜欢看电视。
- Me, too. 我也喜欢。
( 2 )- Who wants a lift to the station?
谁想搭便车去车站?
- Me!
我!
( 3 )- Does anybody want another orange?
谁还要桔子?
- Me! 我要!
4. 作主语的人称代词与 not 或 why 连用时,常用宾格代词。例如:
( 1 )- Someone will have to answer for it.
有人会为此负责。
- Not you or me.
不是你也不是我。
( 2 )- Why me? 为什么是我?
- I was no duty yesterday.
我昨天值班了。
值得注意的是,在上述句式中,通常用第一人称代词的宾格作主语,其它人称的代词较少见。
5. 在 as 和 than 后面也有用主格代词或宾格代词两种可能性。在口语里习惯上用宾格代词,在正式文体中用主格代词。例如:
My younger brother is as tall as me. / My younger brother is as tall as I ( am ) .
我弟弟和我一样高。
He is much stronger than me. / He is much stronger than I ( am ) .
他比我强壮得多。
6. 在强调句中有用主格代词或宾格代词作主语两种可能性。在正式文体中用主格代词,在非正式文体中用宾格代词。例如:
It was me that told the police.
是我告诉警察的。(非正式文体)
It is I who will take charge of the class meeting tomorrow afternoon.
明天下午将由我主持班会。(正式文体)
7. 在非正式文体中,可以用 who 代替 whom 作宾语,但在正式文体中多用 whom 作宾语,而在介词后面只能用 whom 作宾语。例如:
Who are you going with?
你和谁一起去?(非正式文体)
Whom do you decide to send to the countryside?
你们决定派谁去农村?(正式文体)
Who did you shake hands with?
你和谁握手了?(非正式文体)
With whom did you shake hands?
你和谁握手了?(正式文体)
8. “ but / except + 代词”中的代词在句中作主语时,宜用主格代词,在句中作宾语时,宜用宾格代词。例如:
Nobody but she can solve our problems.
除了她没有人能解决我们的问题。
All the students like dancing except him.
除了他以外,所有的学生都喜欢跳舞。
