这里考察all与whole的用法
区别如下:
1.all与whole都有“整个 ”“全部的”之含义。一般来讲, all可以修饰各类名词, 且限定词要放在all之后。 而whole 只能修饰具有整体意义的单数名词, 且限定词要放在whole 之前。
(1) all the money/ all the time/ all the country/all the students/ all my life/ all my books
(2) a whole roast duck/ the whole class/the whole city/the whole nation/my whole life
2.一般来讲,whole 不能修饰复数可数名词, 但是若复数可数名词前有具体的数量词时, 则可以用whole 。
如: three whole days / all three days
3. all与whole都可以用来修饰专有名词,但是用whole修饰专有名词时,一定要带of 。
如: the whole of China/ all China
the whole of Chinese history/all Chinese history
4. all 独立使用时, 在句中,可以做主语,宾语和同位语。whole 独立使用时, 在句中可以做补语。
如“1、 All are present.
2 I have finished all today.
3 They are all teachers.
4 I like them all.
5 The man ate an egg whole.
6 Roast ducks are ducks that roasted whole
简单来说就是 all=the whole~~
所以 all the water等于the whole water是成立的,
但表示所以人一般用:All the people
the whole of 翻译为整个,全部, 尤其用于非实物.所以此句的people要用all the people
例如,the whole of the morning
the whole class, the whole school, the whole country, the whole village 等等之类的表达指的就是all the people in the class, all the people in the school, all the people in the country, all the people in the village, 谓语按照第三人称单数来处理.
都可以
但不说the whole of people
都是all the
