2the+一家后的谓语

Answer 1

The family is the American people
the+adj.的语法特点

1. 复数性
“the+形容词”表示一类具有某种特征或特性的人时,通常表示复数意义,若用作主语,谓语要用复数.如：
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. 富者愈富,贫者愈贫.
The injured were carried away on stretchers. 用担架把受伤的人抬走了.
The old are more likely to catch cold than the young. 老年人比年轻人更容易感冒.
2. 单数性
“the+形容词”若表示抽象概念,则表示单数意义,用作主语时,谓语要用单数.如：
He doesn’t know the right from the wrong. 他不辨是非.
The unknown is always something to be feared. 未知的东西总是一种令人害怕的东西.
The beautiful is not always the good, and the good is not always the true. 美未必是善,善未必是真.
3. 单复性
有个别的“the+形容词”结构既表示单数意义,也表示复数意义,若用作主语,谓语动词用单数还是复数需视情况而定.如：the good 指“好人”时表复数意义,指“善”时表单数意义；the accused 指一名被告时表单数意义,指多名被告时表复数意义.比较：
The accused was acquitted of the charge. 被告被宣告无罪.(指一人)
The accused were acquitted of the charge. 被告均被宣告无罪.(指多人)
4. 习惯性
(1) 有的表达带有一定的习惯性,如“病人”习惯说成 the sick,而不说 the ill.
(2) 这类结构习惯上不用于-’s 所有格形式,若语义需要,可考虑用 of 所有格.如：
正：He is interested in the problems of the poor. 他对穷人的问题感兴趣.
误：He is interested in the poor’s problems
