如题所述
typical的用法在英语中确实有些微妙。虽然它本质上是个形容词,但在短语"typical of"中,typical已经转化为名词性质。在这种情况下,"typical of"可以理解为"typical"加上对应的名词,比如"typical characteristic of",意思是"是...的典型特征"。例如,"Typical of the grassland dwellers"和"Typical dweller of the grassland"都是正确的表达,这时的"typical"依然作为形容词,但后面的谓语和表语通常采用复数形式。
让我们看两个例子来说明: "Snow is typical of winter in the north",意思是"雪是北方冬季的典型特征"。再如,"It is typical of him to take on hard jobs",意为"他接手困难工作是他的典型特征"。而"这幅画是他早期作品相当典型的代表作"可以表达为"This painting is a highly typical representative of his early work"。
如果你对词汇和语法有任何疑问,这里非常欢迎讨论和深入探究。
