which, what与who的用法有何区别

时间:2016-10-30 23:51:37

(单词翻译:单击)

   1. which 和 what 均可与名词连用,表示对人或物提出疑问(但 who 不能这样用)。一般说来,当选择范围较小或比较明确时,用which; 当选择范围较或不明确时用what。如:

  Which is bigger, the sun or the earth? 太阳和地球哪个大?
  What writers do you like? 你喜欢哪些作家?
  注意,以上区别只是一般原则,并不绝对。如也可说:
  Which writers do you like? 你喜欢哪些作家?
  Which [What] will it be—tea or coffee? 这会是什么──茶还是咖啡?
  2. which, what, who 均可用作代词(即其后不跟名词)。关于 which 和 what的和法区别跟上面的分析相似。这里只谈谈 who 的用法:who 一般只用来指人,不管选择范围大还是小,明确还是不明确均可用(当选择范围比较明确且用作宾语时 who 也可用或 which 或 which one 代之)。如:
  Who won—Tom or Mike? 谁赢了─汤姆还是迈克?
  Who is your favourite poet1? 你最喜欢的诗人是谁?
  Who [Which, Which one] do you like best—your father or your mother?你更喜欢谁──父亲还母亲?
  3. 正由于 what 和 who 的选择范围可以很大或不明确,所以其后可以跟else,但一般不跟表示特定范围的 of 短语;which 的选择范围相对比较小或明确,所以其后一般不接else,但却常 of 与短语连用。如:
  Who [What] else did you see there? 你在那儿还看到了别人的什么人什么东西?
  Which of the three girls is the oldest? 这三个女孩中哪个年纪最大?
  不过,以上说的也是一般情况,有时也有例外,如有时也说:
  Who of you three first thought of this? 你们三人中谁最先想到这一点?
