1. 表示“人”,是一个只表示复数意义的可数名词(注意不用词尾-s),可以说 some people(一些人),many people(许多人)等,但不能说 a people 或 one people。
2表示“民族”,此时为可数名词,其前可用不定冠词,也可有复数形式。如:
The Chinese are a hard-working people. 中国人是一个勤劳的民族。
The English-speaking peoples share a common language. 讲英语的各民族拥有共同的语言。
比较下面两句:
How many peoples live in Asia? 亚洲有多少个民族?
How many people live in the room? 这房间住了多少人?
3. 泛指“人们”时,其前不用定冠词;泛指“人民”时,其前通常要用定冠词。如:
People say oil prices will be going up soon. 人们说油价快要上涨了。
The people turned against their president. 人民变得不满意他们的总统。
即使其后受到限制性定语的修饰,也不一定就必须要带定冠词:如果表特指,其前用定冠词,如果意义较泛,其前仍不用定冠词。如:
The people who work next door are architects. 在隔壁工作的那些人是建筑师。
People who are waiting for the bus often shelter in my doorway. 等公共汽车的人们常常在我家门口躲风避雨。
