QUESTION 65: Is it proper to say THESE ONES or THESE, and THOSE ONES or THOSE?
ANSWER: In spoken English it is quite common and correct to use "these ones" or "those ones". For example, in response to a shop assistant's question: "Which ones would you like?", you would be quite correct to reply "Those ones, please.".
In written English, except in direct speech, you would usually use only "these" or "those". For example, "She bought twenty new shirts. These were put into a draw when she got home.".
问题65:应该用these ones还是these, those ones还是those? 哪一个更确切?
回答:在口语里,“these ones”和“those ones”都是常见并且准确的用法。比如,在回答商店营业员的问题“Which ones would you like?”时,我们如果回答“Those ones, please.”是非常准确的。
在书面语里,除了在直接引语里,我们通常使用“these”和“those”。例如,“She bought twenty new shirts. These were put into a draw when she got home.”。
