趣味知识/故事
“their”这个词首次出现在英语中的时间大约为公元13世纪,是由当时维京人引入到英国的。原古英语里用的'theora'更容易与其他词混淆,因此后来才采用了北欧语影响下的拼写,这在英语限定词历史上是一次有趣的演变。
拓展信息
1. “their”不仅可以指人,也可指动物或物品,尤其在不特指性别或者性别未知时使用。
2. 随着性别中立用法的发展,在指代单数时亦会使用“their”,如:Each student should bring their book.(每个学生都应带自己的书。)这是现代英语对性别友好的一种写法。
3. 注意不要将“their”误写为“there”或“they're”,这是英语写作的常见错误之一。
