所有格表达

在英语中,有两种常用方式来表示所有关系:使用 'sof

My brother’s bike我哥哥的自行车
Julien’s pen朱利安的笔
The cat’s eyes猫的眼睛
My friend’s house我朋友的房子

2. 所有者是以 s 结尾的复数名词

当所有者是规则复数且以 s 结尾时,只加一个撇号 '

英语中文翻译
Parents’ room父母的房间
My friends’ book我朋友们的书
The dogs’ food狗的食物
The teachers’ lounge老师们的休息室
The students’ homework学生们的作业

3. 不规则复数的所有格

当复数不是以 s 结尾时,仍使用 's

英语中文翻译
Women’s chore女性的家务
Men’s strategy男性的策略
Children’s birthday孩子们的生日
People’s voice人民的声音
Children’s room孩子们的房间

4. 多重所有(双重所有格)

表达“某人的某人的……”时,可以连续使用 's

英语中文翻译
Rebecca’s sister’s car丽贝卡姐姐的车
Mayela’s friend’s book玛耶拉朋友的书
Pupils’ parents’ houses学生家长的房子
Men’s book’s chapter男人们那本书的章节
The teacher’s son’s room老师儿子的房间

5. 表示场所的所有格

's 可以表示“在某人家/店里”:

英语中文翻译

I’ll meet you at Mayela’s我在玛耶拉家见你
Let’s go to the butcher’s我们去肉店吧
I’m staying at my aunt’s我住在我姑妈家
He is working at the dentist’s他在牙医那工作

6. 使用 “of” 表示所有

当所指对象是无生命的物体或抽象概念时,通常使用 of 表达所有关系:

英语中文翻译
The title of the book这本书的标题
The color of the car这辆车的颜色
The leg of the chair椅子的腿
The handle of the door门的把手
The keys of the house房子的钥匙

⚠️ 一般来说,如果不是“人”的所有,建议使用 of
