Li Zhen: How did you like the Beijing Opera yesterday?
David: Wonderful! I have read about the Beijing Opera online.
以上对话出自北师大高中英语必修第三册p25。
这里的 Beijing Opera 前面为什么加了定冠词?
但北师大高中英语必修第三册在第12页有这样一句:
How would you introduce Beijing Opera to someone who doesn't know about it?
这句却没有用定冠词。
这是为什么啊?
1. the Beijing Opera(用定冠词)
Li Zhen: How did you like the Beijing Opera yesterday?
David: Wonderful! I have read about the Beijing Opera online.
以上两句中的 the Beijing Opera 之所以加了定冠词,是因为这里的 Beijing Opera是指具体的京剧节目,且为特指——the Beijing Opera yesterday 意思是“昨晚的京剧”。
2. Beijing Opera(不用定冠词)
How would you introduce Beijing Opera to someone who doesn't know about it?
上面句中的 Beijing Opera 之所以没有加定冠词,是因为这里的 Beijing Opera是指笼统意义的京剧,且为非特指,所以不加定冠词。
