★英文中有些形容词可以和定冠词连用,形成“the+adj.”结构,表示一类人或东西,这时它近似于一个名词,可以说是名词化了的形容词,可以作主语,宾语等。例如:
the rich=rich people富人
the poor=poor people穷人
the sick=sick people病人
the brave=brave people勇者
the wise=wise people智者
★实战演练:
The rich should not look down on the poor.
富人不应当瞧不起穷人。
Heroes always come from the young.
自古英雄出少年。
Take care of the wounded and the dying.
救死扶伤。
This was nothing out of the ordinary.
这没有什么特别之处。
He expects me to do the impossible.
他指望我做不可能的事。
Their aim was to discover the good,the beautiful and the true.
他们的目的是寻求真善美。
