We must reach out to the many children who have no-one to turn to.
请问这里的 many 前面为什么要加定冠词?是什么用法?
many 前面加定冠词主要是为了特指。句意:
We must reach out to the many children who have no-one to turn to. 我们必须帮助这么多无处可以求助的孩子。(特指“无处可以求助的众多孩子”)
又如:
He chose a shirt from the many in his wardrobe. 他从衣柜里众多衬衫中选了一件。(特指“衣柜里的众多衬衫”)
This is one of the many problems faced by working mothers. 这是身为在职母亲面临的众多难题之一。(特指“在职母亲面临的众多难题”)
These are just a few of the many options available. 这些只不过是众多可能的选择中的几个。(特指“众多可能的选择”)
One of the many people he knows can help him to get a job. 他认识的许多人中有一个人能够帮他找到工作。(特指“他认识的许多人”)
