中式英語之鑒:第三者

字號(hào):

134. 由于第三者插足,這對夫妻離婚了。
    [誤] The couple divorced because of the third person.
    [正] The couple divorced because of a third party.
    注:序數(shù)詞一般常跟定冠詞 the 連用,表示“第幾”;而序數(shù)詞和不定冠詞 a 連用時(shí)表示的則是“另一個(gè)”。如: He won the third prize(他得了個(gè)三等獎(jiǎng)),He won a third prize(他第三次得獎(jiǎng))。
