“You and I” 和 “You and me” ?傻傻分不清!
“你和我” 究竟是 “You and I” 还是 “You and me” 呢 ? 具体问题具体分析!
我 “I” 有两种形式,一种是原形 “I” (主格),一种是 “me” (宾格) ,我们都知道前者一般作主语,后者一般作宾语,于是 “我和你” 就有了两种翻译 “You and I” 和 “You and me” 。
作主语(主格形式)
If you and I are Facebook friends, we can follow each other on Twitter.
如果我和你是脸书上的好友,我们就可以在推特上互粉了。
You and I both like painting and listening to music.
我和你都喜欢画画,听音乐。
作宾语 (宾格形式)
She wants to be a person like you and me.
她想要成为像你我这样的人。
She said, " Most people pass this test, including you and me.
她说:“大多数人都通过了这次的测试,包括你和我。”
I hope there is nothing wrong between you and me.
我希望我们两个人之间没什么矛盾。
So, “她比我高” 是 “She is taller than I” 还是 “She is taller than me” 呢?
在这两个句子中,“我” 应该做宾语,than 作为介词。因此我们应该用 “She is taller than me” 表达 “她比我高” 。
So, “我比他优秀” 也应该是 “I am better than him.”
“你和我” 为什么不是 “I and you” 呢?
一般来说,当主语既有第一人称,又有第二人称时,为了表示尊重,都会把第一人称放在后面,于是就有了 “You and I” 的说法!
