【注】none常用在“none + of + 名词”结构中,而nobody, no one或nothing不能用于这种结构中。例如我们可以说none of the pens are / is his. 没有一支钢笔是他的,但不能说no one of the pens is his.。
(3) none用作主语时,谓语动词既可用单数,也可用复数表示“所有的都不”时动词用复数形式。如:① none of us are perfect. 我们都不是完人。② none of the answers are right. 所有的答案都错了。
(4) 若表示“其中一个也不”时,谓语动词用单数形式。如:① none of his friends has been to london.他的朋友中没有一个去过伦敦的。② none of them has any great ability. 他们中间没有一个有大本事。
【注】但在很多情况下单复数的界限并不十分清楚,故常常用单数或复数均可。如: none of the telephones is / are working. 电话机都坏了。
【注】none of后接的名词是限定性的。如: ① we saw none of the students whom we discussed earlier. 我们早先讨论过的学生,一个也没见到。② we drank none of the wine that you brought. 你带来的酒我们一点儿也没喝若是非限定性的,则应用“no + 名词”。如:① we saw no students. 我们没有看到学生。② we drank no wine. 我们没喝酒。
【注】另外当none代表“no + 名词”时,不可用no,nobody或nothing代替。如:① she has a tape-recorder, but i have none (= no tape-recorder). 她有一台录音机,但我却没有。② tom has a lot of friends, but jim has none (=no friends). 汤姆有许多朋友,但吉姆没有朋友。
▲ none有时可指不可数的东西,表示“一点儿都没有”。如:① "how much petrol is there in the car?" "none". “车里还有多少油?”“一点都没有了。” ② i wanted some more coffee, but there was none left. 我想再喝点儿咖啡,但一点儿都不剩了。
