1. They are each responsible for his own family.
2. They are each responsible for their own families.
第2句不宜说的原因是什么?第1句中each的词性和成分如何分析为好?
感谢各位老师。
我认为句1 也不是很好的表达,如果我来写这个句子,这样写:They are each responsible for their own family. his 换成their, family 用单数。表示他们(每个人)对各自家庭负责。如果own 去掉,句1没问题。each 常表示单数个体概念,所以句2 family 要用单数。They are each responsible= they each are responsible. 如果family用复数的话,会产生每个人都有不止有一个家庭的歧义,但现实中又几乎是不合逻辑的。我把each理解为限定词或代词。
个人理解,仅供参考和探讨。
