问

一九八三年全国研考第I.4题：

I am sure that ____ you said is wrong.

A. which B. all C. this D. what

标准答案规定选 D, 我认为亦可选 B。

答

选 B 并不比选 D 逊色,请看下面的例句:

  1. All we had to do was figure out a name for the dog. (Hillary, Living History) 我们该做的只是替狗挑个名字。(希拉里，《亲历历史》)

  2. All I want is a room somewhere. (Practical English Usage, p. 38)

  3. All ____ is a continuous supply of fuel oil. A. what is needed B. that is needed C. the thing needed D. for their needs(TOEFL)

在上面的用法中, all 之后省略了充当宾语的关系代词 that (即使用了零关系代词)。充当主语的关系代词 that 则不能省略。(参见 all that/what)

问

What is called ‘modern civilization’ is not the result of a balanced development of all man's nature. (New Concept English, Book 4, p. 87)

[原译]所谓“现代文明”不是全人类的天性平衡发展的结果。(中译本)

请问 all 是 man 的定语,还是 nature 的定语?

答

句中的 all 并不是 man 的定语, 而是 nature 的定语, 即 all [man's nature], 而不是 [all man's] nature。all man's nature 可译为“人类的全部天性”。

问

代词 all 用作主语时,其谓语动词是用单数还是用复数?

答

当 all 作“大家”解时,谓语动词和代词要用复数:

  1. All are happy to hear the news. (DEG) 大家听到这个消息都很高兴。

  2. All enjoyed themselves. (Mis) 大家都玩得很开心。

当 all of + 复数名词作主语时, 谓语动词也要用复数。

All of the windows were broken. (RG) 所有窗户都打碎了。

当 all 作“一切”解时(这时 all of 接单数名词), 谓语动词要用单数:

  1. All's well that ends well. (Prov) 结果好,一切都好。

  2. All was changed. (Mansfield) 一切都改变了。
