    「its」是英文「它的」,用在動物、物品、組織或嬰兒身上,比如 the dog wagged its tail(狗搖了牠的尾巴)。中文「它的」或「牠的」都對應 its。台灣學生常把 its 和 it's(= it is 的縮寫)搞混,但它們是完全不同的字。

core核心畫面

The tag for a non-person already mentioned — 'its' is the 'his/her' you use for a thing, an animal, or a baby, saying something belongs to it.

可以想成一張掛在東西上的「擁有牌」,但這次牌的主人不是某個男生或女生,而是一個「它」——一樣東西、一隻動物,或一個還說不上男女的嬰兒。前面已經提過這個「它」,後面要說某樣東西屬於它,就用 its:the dog wagged its tail(那隻狗搖牠的尾巴)、the company changed its name(那家公司改了它的名字)。核心畫面比較像是把某物綁回到一個非人的「它」身上。
