想問下pronoun的英文問題..............

2011-02-21 7:19 am
某間公司的發展商咁應該用哪個pronoun?

he/she/it? 如果有埋原因會更好..thx
更新1:

It sounds interesting @@, so a pet will be using the word he/she? "If you don't want what sexuality that human being is. We always use he" 呢句意思係冇特別想要註明性別就用 he 嗎? 但係公司唔係"human being".. 咁係咪都照用he?

✔ 最佳答案
原來你是指一家公司啊, 那麼不能用HE / SHE, 因為不是一個人

原理和COMPANY一樣, 是一個 "集合名詞", 即一個單數名詞代表了一群人, 字典上說用 IT / THEY 都可以. 現在看來以用 IT 的比較多.

集合名詞- COLLECTIVE NOUN

當然, 如果是指一個人, 即一個從事開發業的人, 就根據性別用HE / SHE 了

He~
Cause in English, we don't use it to describe things that have movement. Like...maybe teacher might teach you when you describe a pet should use it. But if you're in US, or country that use English as usual language, they never. It will only describe things that without movement and like a company never without movement. The company's industry or money's in and out. You understand, right?

So She, i think you understand....even if we are using Chinese, she is only describe girl, woman and lady. If you don't want what sexuality that human being is. We always use he.
參考: I hope you understand, myself
