poor adj.

1. 用于 the poor, 相當于名詞,表示“窮人”,具有復數意義。如:

The poor were looked down upon in the old days. 在舊社會窮人受人瞧不起。

2. 比較 be poor in be poor at :前者表示在某方面貧乏;后者表示做某事很差勁或不行。如:

He was poor in money but rich in knowledge. 他金錢貧乏,但知識豐富。

The man is poor at swimming. /The man is a poor swimmer. 這個人不善于游泳。

 

popular adj.

1. 表示“受歡迎的”、“討人喜歡的”,若表示受某人歡迎或討某人喜歡,其后通常接 with(有時也接 among)。如:

The singer is very popular with [among] young people. 這位歌手很受年輕人的歡迎。

He is popular among men, though not, perhaps, with ladies. 他很受男士們的歡迎,雖然也許不一定討女士們的喜歡。

2. 表示“大眾化的”、“民眾的”、“流行的”等義,通常只用作定語,一般不用作表語。如:

popular science 大眾科學popular music 流行音樂

popular newspaper 大眾報紙 popular opinion 民意

 

population n.

1. 表示“人口”,是集合名詞,通常用單數形式。用作主語時,其謂語動詞通常用單數。如:

The population of the country is only ten million. 這個國家的人口僅有一千萬。

Half the world’s population doesn’t get enough to eat. 世界有一半人口沒有足夠的食物吃。

注:有時謂語用單數(側重整體)或復數(側重個體)均可,尤其是其前有幾分之幾或百分之幾十之類的修飾語時。如:

What per cent of the population read [reads] books? 識字的人占人口的百分之幾?

2. 其前不能用數詞修飾,也不能與 many, few 之類的詞連用,但在說明數量多少時可用 large, small 等修飾。若表示“某地擁有多少人口”,一般用“have a population of+基數詞”這樣的結構。如:

這個城市人口很多。

誤:The population of this city is very many.

正:The population of this city is very large.

中國有12億多人口。

誤:China has more than twelve hundred million popula- tion.

正:China has a population of more than twelve hundred million.

3. 若要打聽某地的人口數,一般用類似下面這樣的句型:

How large [What] is the population of China? 中國有多少人口?

正:Mr Li was in possession of the house.

正:The house was in the possession of Mr Li.

正:He came into possession of a large fortune.

注:take possession of have possession of 這兩個結構中通常不用冠詞。如:
