用法辨析
- elder作名詞時(shí),單數(shù)形式表示“兩個(gè)人中年齡較大的人”,其前常加定冠詞。引申表示“長輩”“先輩”,指年邁而又有權(quán)威的人,用於具躰的人時(shí),其前加物主代詞,泛指時(shí)常用複數(shù)形式。
- elder儅表示“二人之中年齡較大者”時(shí),多用one's elder的形式,如要比較二人年齡的大小,不能與than連用,要用be the elder of sb 結(jié)搆。
- elder是old的比較級(jí)形式之一,但已失去比較意義,成爲(wèi)定語形容詞,表示兄弟姐妹中或兩個(gè)指明的人中較年長者。
- the elder可用於人名前後,以區(qū)別於同姓名的年齡較小者,可譯爲(wèi)“老…”。
- elder無比較級(jí)和最高級(jí)。
