第3章 冠词
冠词是虚词，本身无词义也不能单独使用，它用在名词前帮助指明名词的含义。冠词分为不定冠词a/an和定冠词the。
不定冠词：a dog一只狗；an ant一只蚂蚁
定冠词：the dog这只狗；the ant这只蚂蚁
1.不定冠词
不定冠词仅用在单数可数名词前面，表示“一”的意义，但不强调数目观念，只表示某类人或物中不确定的一个。
This is a poster of an action movie.（这是一张动作电影的海报。）
Beijing is a beautiful city.（北京是一座美丽的城市。）
1.不定冠词的形式
A.不定冠词有a[]和an[n]两种形式。a用于以辅音（不是辅音字母）开头的单词前，an用于以元音（不是元音字母）开头的单词前。
B.形容词修饰名词时，不定冠词要放在形容词前，用a或an取决于形容词的读音。
2.不定冠词的用法
（1）用在可数名词的单数形式前面
A.表示一类事物或人中的任意一个。
There is an island over there.（那儿有一个岛。）
Be sure to bring me a dictionary.（一定要给我带一本字典来。）
He works six days a week.（他一周工作六天。）
I found a small girl crying in the corner.（我发现一个小女孩在拐角处哭。）
补充：a/an表示“一”
a/an用在hundred，thousand，million等词前，具有one的意思，一般译成“一”。
B.表示一类事物或人，a/an在此处不必翻译。
An ear is an organ for listening.（耳朵是听觉器官。）
A tiger is a wild animal.（老虎是一种野生动物。）
说明：a表示“一类”
a在这里只表示某一类，实际上它的意义和“Tigers are wild animals.”一样。
A pig has a thin tail.（猪有条细尾巴。）
An owl can see in the dark.（猫头鹰能在黑暗中看见东西。）
（2）用在专有名词前面
不定冠词用在专有名词前面，表示“一个”“一种”“一类”或“一个类似……的”。
There was a Mr. White living in that old house last year.
（去年有个怀特先生住在那个老房子里。）
That city is a Venice in China.（那个城市是中国的威尼斯。）
必背：含有a的词组
2.定冠词
定冠词表示特定的一个或一类人、事物，表示“这”“那”“这些”“那些”的意思，在可数名词的单、复数及不可数名词前都可以使用。
This is the watch I borrowed yesterday.（这就是我昨天借的那只手表。）
The people I met there were very friendly.（我在那里遇到的人很友善。）
1.定冠词的发音
定冠词the只有一种书写形式，但发音有两种，它在辅音（不是辅音字母）开头的词前弱读为[]，在元音开头的词前重读为[i]。
the situation弱读[stjen]（这种形势）
the big onion弱读[bignjn]（这个大个的洋葱）
the Americans重读[imerknz]（这些美国人）
the old people重读[ildpipl]（这些老年人）
2.定冠词的基本用法
（1）用在带有定语的名词前面
定冠词用在带有定语的名词前面，特指某（些）人或某（些）事物。
The students in that room（定语）are all from America.（那间屋子里的学生都来自于美国。）
Show me the photo of your family（定语）.（给我看看你家人的照片。）
（2）用在重新提到的人或事物前面

（我在门口遇到一个可爱的女孩。看，就是正走过来的这个女孩。）
Cut up a tomato,and put the tomato on the bread.
（将一个西红柿切碎，再将切碎的西红柿放在面包上。）
说明：the在这里特指前面提到的那个西红柿。
（3）用在谈话双方都知道的人或事物前面
Please fill in the form and sign it.（请填写表格并签字。）
Oh,you mean the boys.Open the window and you can see them.
（哦，你指的是那些男孩子们，打开那扇窗户，你就能看见他们了。）
（4）用在单数可数名词前面
定冠词用在单数可数名词的前面，表示某一类人或事物。这种用法和不定冠词的用法相似。
（请参见本章不定冠词部分的举例）
The tiger is a wild animal.（老虎是一种野生动物。）
说明：表示某一类人或事物时，可以用以下三种方法：
The dog is a useful animal.（dog前用定冠词）
→A dog is a useful animal.（dog前用不定冠词）
→Dogs are useful animals.（dog本身用复数）
狗是（一种）有用的动物。

（）Mike’s school is over there.（迈克的学校就在那边。）
（×）The Mike’s school is over there.
说明：限定词不能连用

I want pen and ink.（我需要笔墨。）
（8）在有些词组中，有无冠词含义不同
