①This includes parties, concerts and discos in the institute and trips to the theatre, museums and sporting events in London.
②we all know that it is young people who generally provide the labor force, new ideas and energy for the(不用) modern society.
③Older people may still play an important role in the modern society.
请问以上几处的定冠词,为什么有的加the有的不加呢?
① This includes parties, concerts and discos in the institute and trips to the theatre, museums and sporting events in London.
【答】the theatre, museums and sporting events:这些词语并列,说明:the theatre表示“类别”,相当于复数的theatres。英语中,单数theatre经常跟the连用,表示“类指”和复数概念。例如:
You can move up to work in films and the theatre.
你可以转行从事影视戏剧业。

② We all know that it is young people who generally provide the labor force, new ideas and energy for the modern society.
【答】“现代社会”的英语是: modern society,不加冠词,所以本句应删掉the。
③ Older people may still play an important role in the modern society.
【答】道理同上。“现代社会”的英语是: modern society,不加冠词,所以本句应删掉the。
