4. 雙重所有格。雙重所有格就是指同時(shí)既使用 -’s 所有格又使用 of 所有格。如:
a friend of my father’s 我父親的一位朋友
a photo of Mr Smith’s 史密斯先生的一張照片
注:被雙重所有格修飾名詞前有指示代詞時(shí),通常帶有一定的感****彩(如贊賞、不滿、厭惡等)。如:
That little daughter of your cousin’s is really lovely. 你表哥的那個(gè)小女兒真是可愛。(表贊賞)
That daughter of your cousin’s is constantly complaining. 你表哥的那個(gè)女兒老是在報(bào)怨。(表厭惡)
另外,有時(shí)是否使用雙重所有格會導(dǎo)致意義的變化。比較:
