one... one's/his

《英文惯用语用法手册》(外语学习社, p. 101)说:“如果用了‘one’,后面的代名词,须用‘one’s’和它相应,万不可用‘he’或‘his’等代名词”。 英语的实际使用情况确实如此吗?

该书作者所提到的用法只是英国英语的用法。在英国英语中,确实是使用 one...one (one's) 这种用法(我国出版的辞书只收入了这一用法):

  1. One should do one's duty. (NAECD) 人人应当尽职尽责。
  2. One should choose one's friends carefully. (CGEL) 人应当仔细地选择自己的朋友。
  3. One does well what one likes to do. 人对于所喜欢的事情就能做好。但是,在美国英语中却往往采用 one...he(his) 这样的用法:
  4. One should choose his friends carefully. (CGEL) 人应当仔细地选择自己的朋友。
  5. One cannot succeed unless he tries hard. (Leech) 不努力试一试, 是不会成功的。
  6. One must be careful about his investments. (CGEL) 对于投资必须特别小心。 In order to obtain a driver's license in this state, one has to present your birth certificate as proof of age. (TOEFL) (the) one (ones) {whichthatwho\left\{\begin{array}{l}which\\ that\\ who\end{array}\right.
