名词短语举例英语

1、Unmaried men are a rare species these days.

翻译：如今，未婚男性是一种罕见的物种。

名词短语 Unmaried men 中 men 是复数形态，没法说「一个」或者「那个」，所以不用冠词。

2、Honesty is necessarily the best policy.

翻译：诚实必然是最好的政策。

Honesty 是表达品质的抽象名词，没有复数形态，不能用「一个」来描述，所以不用冠词。3、Fresh water is a precious resource in Saudi Arabia.

翻译：淡水是沙特阿拉伯的宝贵资源。

Fresh water 是不可数的，没有复数形态，不能用「一个」来描述，所以不用冠词。

4、I have an appointment on Sunday.

翻译：我星期天有个约会。

这里 Sunday 在讨论范围内是唯一的，确指这周日，是专有名词，不能用「一个」或者「那个」来描述，所以冠词位置留空。

就是这个短语是名词性质的名词性短语也叫名词词组.名词词组就是以名词为中心词的词组和短语.如:all the college students ,students 是中心词,the tall boy sitting in the corner,boy 是中心词.副词性短语就是副词词组,它是以 副词为中心词的词组和短语.如:He spoke loudly and clearly ,这里loudly and clearly是中心词;Be a man .Don't act so lowly .这里so lowly 是中心词.而I live in the house ,这里in the house做的是介词短语,以介词为中心词,live 做的是做I 的谓语,它是动词.I want the house .在这里 want做的是谓语,是动词,而the house做的 是want的宾语,那么这里可以叫它为动词词组,以动词为中心词.
