记得老师说过,表示所有格时,英语习惯上不能说 sth of sb,比如:
误:the book of me
正:my book
误:the school of us
正:our school
但下面这个句子呢?on either side of him 用得对吗?
The man has one tall policeman on either side of him.
是的,我们不说 the book of me, the school of us,但说 on either side of him 是完合可以的。比如下面的句子均来自词典:
(1) On each side of me was a figure in khaki. 我两边各有一个穿卡其布服装的人。
(2) Stand on this side of me so Dad can get a photo. 站到我这边来,让爸爸来拍一张照片。
(3) a photograph with me in the centre and Joe and Ken on each side of me 我居中、乔和肯分别在我两侧的一张照片
(4) Unfortunately I was sitting at the table with smokers on either side of me. 真倒楣,餐桌上坐在我两边的人都抽烟。
