Them的意思

"Them" 是一個代詞,在英語中通常用作賓語或與動詞一起使用,用來指代前面提到過的人或事物。它可以指代單數或複數名詞,也可以用來代替上文提到過的代詞,如 "he," "she," "it," "they," "him," "her," "it," "them," "us," "we," "you," 和 "they."

例如:

  1. 單數名詞:

    • I saw a movie with them last night. (指代單數名詞 "movie")
  2. 複數名詞:

    • I met some friends at the park and we played with them. (指代複數名詞 "friends")
  3. 代詞:

    • I told you about them. (指代 "I" 和 "you")
  4. 用作主語:

    • Them are my cousins. (雖然語法上可以這樣用,但這種用法是非正式的,而且可能會被認為是不太禮貌或不夠正式的表達方式。通常在口語中可以聽到這樣的用法,但在書面語中應該避免使用。)

在現代英語中,"them" 也被用來指代不特定的人群或事物,尤其是當性別不明確或不想使用特定的性別代詞時。

例如:

在某些情況下,"them" 還可以用來表示性別中立的代詞,用於指代那些不希望被特定性別代詞指代的人。這種用法在性別多樣化的人群中變得越來越常見,以尊重個人的性別認同。
