At the top of a
second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the
positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a
friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or
when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might
seem, write it down.
上面这段选2023年高考英语新全国卷1的阅读七选五。
请问为什么这里在序数词前用不定冠词,而不用定冠词呢?
请不要只是说理论,要分析一下这里的特殊用法在哪里,非常感谢!
附全文如下:
Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness. You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself. Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. We’re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.
这和前面的这句有关: In a journal or on a piece of paper, ... 不定冠词表示泛指。前面的journal或paper是泛指。后面再增加一个journal或paper 是同样道理,也是泛指。犹如日子一样,今天过去了,明天迎来新的一天,我们通常用a new day will begin,不说the new day will begin.

解答:不定冠词a/an+序数词+单数名词连用表示原来的数量基础上再增加一个/一次,意思是“再一/又一”
The man tried a second time.那人又试了一次。
May I try a second time? 我可以再试一次吗?
He drank a third bowl of rice wine. 他又喝了第三碗米酒。
Mike is going to buy Tom a second gift.迈克打算再给汤姆买一件礼物。
He failed three times,but he want to try a fourth time.他失败了三次,但是他想再试一次。
备注:不定冠词a/an序数词+单数名词表示“在原来数量基础的再次增加”意思“再一/又一”。
【1】定冠词“the+序数词+名词”表示的是“名词”的顺序。
Tom is the fourth student to come here.汤姆是来到这里的第四名学生。
This is the eighth apple which is eaten by Tom.这是汤姆吃掉的第八个苹果。
【2】不定冠词“a/an+序数词+名词”表示的是“名词”的数量增加。
He failed three times,but he want to try a fourth time.他失败了三次,但是他想再试一次。
He failed seven times,but he want to try an eighth time.他失败了七次,但是他想再试一次。
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others.
参考译文:在第二页的顶部,写上“善举”的标题。在这页纸上,把你为别人做过的所有积极的事情都列举出来。
备注: a second page 表示在“原来基础上”再增加一页。
