英语冠词用法系列讲座(十五）男人和女人都戴什么帽子？
man和woman前冠词的用法：
① man代表“人类”或泛指“所有人”时用零冠词；现代英语中也可用复数：

Man changes the world. 人类改变世界。
No man can live forever. 没有人能长生不死。
Men are cleverer than monkeys. 人比猴子聪明。
Man cannot live without water. 人离开水就无法生存。

A woman does not envy a man for his fighting courage, nor a man envys a woman for her beauty. 女人不会嫉妒男人的勇武，男人不会嫉妒女人的漂亮。
Generally speaking, women live longer than men. 一般而言，女性寿命较男性长。

④ man表示“男子汉，男子气概”时可用冠词，与修饰语一起表示“有某种特征的人”；woman表示“女人气的男人”或“女人味，女人气质”时可用冠词，与修饰语一起表示“有某种特征的女人”；对于胆小懦弱、办事拖拉的男人都可以woman称之，而把女人称呼为man多为习惯用法，并无多少感情色彩：
Don’t cry — be a man! 不要哭，勇敢点！要像个男子汉！
Play the man! 显示男子气概！ Play the woman! 撒娇！
He is only half a man! 他没有男子气。

She is a freshman at college. 她是大学一年级的学生。
She is the greatest author of the age. 她是当代最伟大的作家。
She is the greatest authoress of the age. 她是现代女作家中最伟大的。
⑤ man表示“丈夫，男朋友”时可用冠词，man and wife表示“夫妻”，该短语不用冠词；man and boy表示“从小到大，终身，一生”，用作副词，该短语不用冠词：
My cook has a young man. 我的厨娘有一个年轻的恋人。
They are man and wife. 他们是夫妻。
He has worked for the firm, man and boy, for thirty years. 他从小至今已在这家商行干了三十年。
⑥ man和woman作称呼语时不用冠词；man意为“老兄，伙计”，多表示亲切，有时含有轻蔑、戏谑或不耐烦的意味，woman表示无礼的称呼：
Hurry up, man. 快点，老兄。
Nonsense, man! 胡扯！
Shut up, woman! 住嘴，你这个娘儿们！
⑦ man与定冠词或物主限定词连用，表示“最佳人选”：
He is the very man for the job. 做这件事，他是最合适的人选。
If you need a driver, I’m your man. 你要是需要司机，我最合适。
⑧ man与零冠词连用，用于enough前，表示抽象意义；与不定冠词连用，用于enough of之后，用作等级名词进行等级比较：
Are you man enough for this dangerous job? 你有勇气做这项危险的工作吗？
Are you enough of a man for this dangerous job? 你有勇气做这项危险的工作吗？
⑨ the man in the street和the man on the street表示“普通人，老百姓”，前者是英国英语，后者是美国英语：
This kind of music doesn’t appeal to the man in the street. 这种音乐不能引起普通百姓的兴趣。
⑩ as a man 表示“一致地，作为一个男人，作为一个普通人，就其个人品格而言”；as one man 表示“全体一致地，万众一心，同时地，一起”：
He spoke as a man, not merely as soldier. 他从普通人的观点而不是军人的观点来讲话。
The staff speaks as one man on this issue. 全体职员在这个问题上意见一致。
⑪ if a man表示“人数足有”；to a man表示“所有人，无一例外”；to the last man表示“无一例外，直到最后一人”：
The enemy is two hundred strong, if a man. 敌军足有200人。
The whole company, to a man, was engaged in the battle. 全连无一例外地参加了战斗。
We shall defend the city to the last man. 我们将保卫这座城市，一直战斗到最后一个人。
⑫ man或woman在名词前作定语时，其单复数要与所修饰的名词的数一致，但其他名词作定语时，不论被修饰的名词是单数还是复数，一律用单数：
He is a man doctor. 他是男医生。
They are men doctors. 他们是男医生。
This is an apple tree. 这是苹果树。
These are apple trees. 这些是苹果树。
冠词是英语中十分重要、意义色彩非常复杂的词，它的使用率很高，是英语中最常用的词。
传统语法将冠词分为不定冠词和定冠词两类，现代英语将冠词分为不定冠词、定冠词和零冠词三类。
冠词是一种本身不能独立使用的虚词，一般放在名词前面，帮助说明这个名词的含义。
冠词的用法有其规律性，又有其习惯性。有时必须用不定冠词，有时必须用定冠词；有时既可用不定冠词也可用定冠词；有时不用或缺省冠词；有时用或不用冠词，用不定冠词或用定冠词，意义上又差别很大。
为了更好地掌握和使用冠词，我对冠词的用法进行了深入细致的学习和研究、归纳和总结，整理成册，与广大英语爱好者共同学习。需要者微信联系，联系方式在本文档③中，或评论留言。

英语有很多容易混淆的词语。在英汉词典中有很多汉语释义雷同或相近的英语词汇，在很多情况下，由于语境、搭配、句型结构等不同，它们之间有的存在细微差异，有的存在很大差别；有些词义相同或相近的词汇在某些情况下可换用，但在另一些情况下却不能换用；这在许多同义词、近义词中都有类似情况，很容易误用和错用。在英语词汇中，有些单词相貌非常相似，但词义却不同，很容易张冠李戴。如果不了解同义词、近义词、近形词等易混词语的区别，尤其是这类词之间的细微差异和习惯用法，就掌握不到规范、地道的英语，在交际和写作中常令人匪夷所思，甚至闹出笑话，因此，熟悉和掌握易混词语的区别和用法是非常重要的。
为此，我学习和研究英语易混词20多年，辨析了560组常用的或疑难的易混词，Word排版，大32开，1128页，80万字，150万字符。为了与网友分享，又编辑了手机版。
以易混词语组为主干，列出一组易混词语，说明这组易混词语的共性和区别，逐词阐释词义及用法，并配有例句及汉语译文，以便系统地掌握一组易混词语的共同点和区别。每组词的解释和说明力求简明扼要、通俗易懂，且又尽量详尽；针对解释和说明，选择例句规范、地道、实用，具有时代特色，容易学习模仿，努力做到层次清楚、主次分明，使人见树又见林，知其然更能知其所以然。
例句涉及天文地理、自然科学、人文科学，学习英语易混词的同时，增加多方面的知识，有些例句包含人生哲理，催人奋进。
《英语易混词辨析》是我20多年对英语易混词学习和研究的总结。每句话都经过反复考究、反复推敲，有时为考究一句话的正误要花上几天甚至几十天，有的一组词的考证总结就用了几年功夫。
