(禮堂可坐數(shù)百人。) 而persons 則指有具體人數(shù)的人,如: Capacity of the restaurant is limited to 40 persons. (這家飯館能容納40人。) 此外,persons 是正式用法,多用于法律語言,如: She was murdered by a person or persons unknown. (她被一個或一些未知的人謀殺了。)persons 和people 的另一個區(qū)別是people僅僅表示人們,而 persons則表示具有性格、感情等的人。因此,我們說:Some people are quite different persons amongst their friends from what they are in their business relations. (有些人處朋友與處理業(yè)務方面的關系迥然不同。)但是,在實際使用中這兩個詞也有混淆。people 也作單數(shù)名詞,表示“一個民族”,其復數(shù)形式為 peoples,如: The British are a funny people. (不列顛是一個很有趣的民族。) 【辨異】people與nation和race2的區(qū)別見NATION。 |
