有时看到the No. 1 Middle School(用冠词),有时看到No 1 Middle School(没用冠词),请问老师:No. 1 Middle School前到底用不用冠词?当然还有类似的结构:
No. 2 Middle School / the No. 2 Middle School
No. 28 Middle School / the No. 28 Middle School
No. 66 Middle School / the No. 66 Middle School
No. 108 Middle School / the No. 108 Middle School
这些表达前面用the还是不用?
▲这是一个很有趣的问题,看似简单,但好像又没有定论。我查了一些资料,查得的结果是:用不用定冠词均可,但似乎不用定冠词更普通。
1. 不用定冠词的实例:
(1) It is five years now since I graduated from No. 3 High School. 我从三中毕业已有5年时间了。(2008全国卷I改错题,此处无错)
(2) After that I went to No.62 Middle School of Dalianand graduated this summer. 后来,我上了大连第62中学,并于今年秋天毕业。(1996全国卷书面表达“标准范文”)
2. 用定冠词的实例:
the No. 26 Middle School第26中学(《薄冰高级英语语法》)
有趣的是,上面一例出自《薄冰高级英语语法》第3.8节,本节专门用于论述“定冠词用于专有名词”的用法原文如下:
(定冠词)表学校名称,多含普通名词,表零念,如:
the No. 26 Middle School第二十六中学
the Snedeker School 斯内德克学校
the Railway Primary School 铁路小学
the Chinese People’s University 中国人民大学
the Beijing Medical College 北京医学院
the Central Academy of Fine Arts 中央美术学院
the University of London 伦敦大学
the University of Chicago 芝加哥大学
the College of Idaho 爱达荷学院
the School for International Training 国际训练学校
▲查了一下China Daily(中国日报),基本上不用冠词,但偶尔也见到有用定冠词的。
