主謂一致的三個(gè)原則

主謂一致涉及三個(gè)基本原則，即語(yǔ)法一致原則（principle of grammatical concord）、意義一致原則（principle of notional concord）和就近原則（principle of proximity）。

A.語(yǔ)法一致

語(yǔ)法一致是指主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)在單復(fù)數(shù)形式上的一致關(guān)系，主語(yǔ)為單數(shù)形式，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式；反之，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。My child has no intention of spending a vacation with me.我的孩子不想與我一起度假。My children have no intention of spending a vacation with me.我的孩子們不想與我一起度假。

B.意義一致

意義一致是說(shuō)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單、復(fù)數(shù)要取決于主語(yǔ)所表達(dá)的概念，而不取決于表面上的語(yǔ)法標(biāo)記。

1.主語(yǔ)形式雖為單數(shù)，但意義為復(fù)數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)。The only people who are interested in the book seem to be lawyers.唯一對(duì)這本書(shū)感興趣的人好像是律師。The majority of primary school teachers are women.大多數(shù)小學(xué)老師都是女的。

2.主語(yǔ)形式為復(fù)數(shù)，而意義上卻是單數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。No news is good news.沒(méi)有消息就是好消息。Billiards is becoming more and more popular in some cities.桌球在一些城市里越來(lái)越受歡迎。

C.就近原則

就近原則是指當(dāng)主語(yǔ)由兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上名詞或代詞組成時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的數(shù)要與它緊鄰的名詞或代詞的數(shù)一致。There is a square table and some chairs in the center of the dining-room.餐廳中央有一張方桌和幾把椅子。Either your students or William knows this.不是你的學(xué)生就是威廉知道這件事。注意：一般說(shuō)來(lái)，究竟何時(shí)采用何種原則，應(yīng)視英語(yǔ)習(xí)慣用法而定。但在實(shí)際使用中，如果對(duì)上述三種原則捉摸不定，遵循語(yǔ)法一致的原則是一種比較穩(wěn)妥的方法。
