标题[文法] Taiwanese people的people 是不是有点多余?
时间Sun Jun 20 19:16:33 2010
学英文的人大约都知道Taiwanese这个字的就有「台湾人」的意思了。
以前还在上课的时候,在课堂上有人用Taiwanese people来表示台湾人,还被老师纠正呢
!
结果,刚刚看了一篇对话文章,谈的是保险,那个保险业务员就一直用Taiwanese people
, Taiwanese people, 比方说:
1, Some Taiwanese people in southern Taiwan suffered huge losses in the middle
of this year.
2, Most Taiwanese people I know seem happy with their insurance policies.
看了实在觉的有点烦,读起来有够不顺的。
若是将之改成:
1, Some Taiwanese in southern Taiwan suffered huge losses in the middle of
this year.
2, Most Taiwanese I know seem happy with their insurance policies.
这样不是好的多吗?
不知道你们是否也和我一样,觉的在Taiwanese後面加了people有点多余?

必有一得。
