1、已經(jīng)提到過的人或物要加定冠詞the,
From Nov. 30th to Dec. 9th, 2013, an unusual ten-day persistent fog episode occurred in Jiangsu Province. In the episode, wide range of strong dense fog appeared in nine days, and extremely dense fog occurred in seven of the nine days.
2、名詞后跟有of 短語時(shí),要加定冠詞the,
Strong dense fogs and extremely dense fogs have been detected almost every year since the visibility of fog was first observed in 2006.
3、名詞特指時(shí)用定冠詞the,所謂特指,實(shí)際上就是一個(gè)名詞帶有限定性定語或限定性定語從句, 使這個(gè)名詞專指某個(gè)或某些特定的人或事物,
In some case, the previous light rain enhanced the air humidity near the surface.
In fact, the speed at which MCS moves depends upon the steering flow.
4、在序數(shù)詞、形容詞最高級(jí)以及形容詞only,very,same 等前面通常加定冠詞the,
He was the first to study the morphology of the sea fog.
5、表示方位的名詞前通常加定冠詞the,
???? Hunan Province lies to the south of the Yangtze River.
???? Spain is in the south of Europe.)
China is in the east of Asia.
6、某些地理名之前必須加定冠詞the
???? the Taiwan Straits, the Persian Gulf, the English Channel
江河、湖泊、海洋之前
例如黃河( the Yellow River) ,太平洋( the Pacific) 等。
山脈、群島之前,例如喜馬拉雅山脈( the Himalayas)
7、某些專有名詞前要加定冠詞the,
如:某些國家的名字, ?the People’s Republic of China, the United States of America。
某些組織機(jī)構(gòu),比如中國氣象局(the China Meteorological Administration)中國氣象學(xué)會(huì)(the Chinese Meteorological Society),中國科學(xué)院( the Chinese Academy of Sciences) 等。
報(bào)刊雜志、會(huì)議等的名稱,氣象學(xué)報(bào)(the Journal of Meteorological Research)
但是英、美國家大多數(shù)科技雜志名稱都不加定冠詞the。
8、當(dāng)所談及的事物或人十分明顯, 不會(huì)使人產(chǎn)生誤解時(shí),表示這些事物或人的名詞要加定冠詞the,
The sun rises in the east.
9、在特殊性名詞之前要加定冠詞the,
如:她研究氣象學(xué)。She studied the meteorology.
10、定冠詞the 也有表示類別的作用
定冠詞the 加在單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞前可表示普遍意義,代表一類人或東西,稱為非特指或整體the。當(dāng)從整體類屬的觀點(diǎn)來看待某一類人或東西時(shí),可以使用定冠詞the,如:The wind speed is measured in m/s.
11、另外,定冠詞的使用比較復(fù)雜,在許多情況下,出于習(xí)慣,很難說有什么道理,例如in the front of,at the back of, in the city, in the distance, on the whole,by the way,go to the theatre 等等。這種情況主要靠平時(shí)積累。
這里,我們給出了氣象論文中the的十種常用情形,并不全面,更多的使用心得還要靠平時(shí)論文寫作時(shí)積累。有任何疑問或者不同意見,歡迎隨時(shí)聯(lián)系我們颶風(fēng)翻譯(the Hurricane Translation)。這里要加the哦 :)
