◤词语大辨析◢-§(20)
关于people的四个词,可能大家很早就听说过了吧,但我不知道是否都弄清楚了,所以在这里再提一下.
a people,peoples,people,the people有何区别?你分清了嘛?
a people 指一个国家或地区的"民族、人民".
peoples 为a people的复数形式,指许多国家或地区的不同的"民族、人民".
people 泛指"人们",是集合名词,不能指一人.以单数形式表示复数意义,谓语动词要用复数
the people 指"人民",可指某个国家的人民,也可指全世界的人民.它表示复数概念.若the people作为主语,它的谓语动词要用复数形式.
