—Did you see _____ a pen on the table just now?
—Yes, is it _____ a red one? Someone took it away.
A. the, a B. a, a C. a, the D. the, the
请问专家老师怎么看待这道题?答案似乎是A, 难道因为 on the table 的缘故第一个空就得是特指?盼望权威专家对该题评讲,谢谢。
—Did you see _____ pen on the table just now?
—Yes, is it _____ red one? Someone took it away.
A. the, a B. a, a C. a, the D. the, the
答案应该是B(a, a)。这两处用不定冠词都是表示类别——a pen 表示这是 “一支钢笔”,而不是一本书、一个文具盒等;a red one (= a red pen) 表示这是“一支红色的钢笔”,而不是其它颜色的钢笔。
