  1. 1nB1/ˈproʊnaʊn/ · /ˈprəʊnaʊn/代名詞

    A word you use in place of a noun or a group of words with a noun in it, so you do not have to say the same thing again — like 'he' for 'Peter' or for 'the man', and 'they' for 'the two girls'.

    示範例句 · Example

    In English, 'I', 'you' and 'they' are all pronouns.

    逐字在英文裡，「I」、「you」和「they」都是代名詞。

    pronoun 講的是「代替名詞上場的那個字」：一個人或東西第一次講出來之後，第二次就換 he、she、it、they、we 這類字接手，不用再把名字重講一遍。可以想成球隊的替補球員——Peter 先上場，換 he 上來做同一份工作。要注意它替換的不一定只有一個字：the man 換成 he、the two girls 換成 they，一整串名詞也能一次被代掉。

core核心畫面

A small stand-in word that takes the place of a name or a noun phrase you have already used, so you can keep talking without repeating it — 'he' standing in for 'Peter', 'they' for 'the two girls'.

可以想成一個「替身」：你已經講過 Peter 了，第二次不想再講一次全名，就派一個小小的字出去頂替他的位置——he。這個字本身沒有內容，它的意思完全靠前面那個被替掉的名字撐著；'the two girls' 換成 they，句子就輕了，但大家都還知道在講誰。
