[名詞用法]英語基礎(chǔ)語法知識介紹·名詞

4. 雙重所有格。雙重所有格就是指同時既使用 -’s 所有格又使用 of 所有格。如：

a friend of my father’s 我父親的一位朋友

a photo of Mr Smith’s 史密斯先生的一張照片

注：被雙重所有格修飾名詞前有指示代詞時，通常帶有一定的感****彩(如贊賞、不滿、厭惡等)。如：

That little daughter of your cousin’s is really lovely. 你表哥的那個小女兒真是可愛。(表贊賞)

That daughter of your cousin’s is constantly complaining. 你表哥的那個女兒老是在報怨。(表厭惡)

另外，有時是否使用雙重所有格會導(dǎo)致意義的變化。比較：

a photo of Mr Smith’s 史密斯先生收藏的一張照片

a photo of Mr Smith 史密斯先生照的一張照片
