這里的問題是:當i我與別的人稱代詞或名詞同時作主語時,它們的順序該如何安排?
規(guī)則是:如果主語包括i與別的人,i總是放在最后;而漢語中則習慣性把我放在第一,這與英語完全不問。
Examples:
Frad,john,mr.stfwart,and i live on the same street.
The group of athletes and i went to the football field together.
Bill and i do not have a very good relationship.
注意:
有多個主語時,以英語為母語的人通常用me作一個主語,并把它放在其他主語前面.語法上是錯誤的,
但你可能會聽到:me and wes are going to watch the baseball game on tv tonight.
