The+adjectives
“the+形容词”转名词
Hi! I'm Sam from BBC Learning English. And today, let's look at how we can change adjectives into nouns when talking about groups of people in general.
大家好！我是BBCw88中文学习的萨姆. 今天我们来学学如何将形容词转换为名词。
I'm from England and I can talk about people from my country in two ways:
我是英国人，我可以用两种方式谈谈我们国家的人们：
'English people talk about the weather a lot,' where I use the adjective English to describe the noun people.
“英国人经常谈论天气”，在这句话中我用形容词English来描述名词性的people.
Or I can take the adjective English and turn it into a noun with the: 'The English talk about the weather a lot.'
或者我可以借助the把形容词English转换成名词：“英国人经常谈论天气。”
You can use this rule to talk about other groups of people as well. For example: The rich have more than the poor.
这个方法也可以用来谈论其他群体。例如：富人比穷人多。
But be careful! Yes, the groups of people are plural, and yes the verb is plural, but we don't add 's' to the end of these words.
但要注意的是，某个群体是复数，所以动词也要用复数形式，但这些名词后面不加 's' .
