Wind大长图节选

All of this came from my amazing fans in the Land of the Living.

• 为什么是this而不是these呢?
• 这是把房间里所有东西看做一个整体, 用this指代
• 类似的That mobile is cheap. It has front and rear camera. It has a good battery. All this makes it a great phone
• Participants commonly report increased mental clarity, improved quality of sleep, higher energy levels, and better moods. You can achieve all of this without having to…

• 看看下图的讲解, 加深一下印象
  

• 

• 那么可不可以用all of these呢?

• 语法上是可以的, 但在这个语境下, 当指代所有这些东西时, 常常你会听到native speaker用all of this/all this. 你可以多观察一下

• the Land of the Living=活人的世界

• 反过来, the Land of the Dead就是死人的世界

• the living, the dead是the+形容词表示类别的用法, 类似的有the rich, the poor等

• living, alive和live这3个词都有”活着的”意思, 如何区分?

• 先说alive, 注意它出现的位置
• 可以说She’s still alive和There’s nobody left alive.
• 但不能说an alive person或an alive dog
• 像asleep, awake等其它包含a-的形容词在句中位置也和alive一样
• 再说live, 一般多用于修饰物, 不用于修饰人; 在”活着的”这层意思基础上, 更多强调活蹦乱跳的, 活生生的意思
• 比如We saw a real live snake!或She bought some live fish from the market
• living可以指人或物. a living poet. living languages(仍然被人使用的语言)
• 所以这里的the Land of the Living不能替换为alive或live
