A大多数形容词可以和代词one(单数)/ones(复数)连用,这时one/ones代表前面已经提到过的名词:
Dont buy the expensive apples;get the cheaper ones.
别买那价钱贵的苹果,买那便宜的。
Hard beds are healthier than soft ones.
硬板床比软床有利于健康。
I lost my old camera;this is a new one.
我的旧相机丢了;这是一架新的。
数词+形容词也可以带one/ones:
If you havent got a big plate,two small ones will do.
如果没有大盘子,两个小盘也行。
B形容词作代词
first(第一)/second(第二)等可以和one/ones连用,也可以不和one/ones连用,即它们既可以作形容词又可以作代词:
Which train did you catch?
I caught the first(one).
你赶上了哪班车?
我赶上了头班车。
the+最高级也可以同样使用:
Tom is the best(runner).
汤姆是(跑得)最棒的。
The eldest was only ten.
最大的才十岁。
有时the+比较级也可以这样用:
Which(of these two)is the stronger?
(这两个之中)哪一个更强壮?
比较级的这种用法被认为更有书面英语的味道,在非正式英语中我们常用最高级来替代:
Which(of these two)is the strongest?
(两者中)哪个是最强壮的?
表示颜色的形容词有时可用做代词:
I like the blue(one) best.
我最喜欢蓝色的(那一个)。
表示马的颜色的词,特别是bay(红棕色的)、chestnu(栗色的),grey(灰色的),常当代词用,词尾加上s时表示复数:
Everyone expected the chestnut to win.
大家都预期那匹栗色的马能获胜。
The coach was drawn by four greys.
大马车由四匹灰色的马拉着。
