She says “I put atent up in the garden, and the children turns to camp outside. We turned itinto a game. The children were terribly hurt by losing both their parents. Butnow, despite our lack of space and money, we have become one happy family.”
The table in thekitchen was so small that Julie had to cook Christmas dinner in two sittings.Her eldest son has left for university and his bedroom is used by the youngerboys.
Julie had to work50 hours a week and ran the home on her salary.
“The childrenaren’t quiet anymore. The house is filled with screams and shouts andlaughter.” she says. “They say ‘Julie, you make us so happy,’ but the truth isthat they’re the ones who make me happy.
I’m just anordinary mum and do what I should."
在这一句but the truth is that they’re the ones who make me happy- 我了解the ones 替代的是人,但我有2个疑问:
1)后面出现了the ones 是复数替代,那样前面为何没出现people或person呢? 也就是说,前面没出现people或person, 后面也可以直接用the onese 替换吗?好像不可以理解。
2)这里的the ones - ones 到底是people,还是 persons呢?
谢谢老师!盼复!
这里的ones并非名词替代词one的复数形式,而是不定代词one的复数形式,the ones= the people/persons. people和person是都是person的复数形式,用persons比较正式一些。
