词语辨异
some,(a) certain 这两者都有“某一,某些”的意思。
1.some侧重于表示对某人或某物一无所知; 而a certain则多用于对某人或某物知而不详或知而不言。
2.some可与or, or other, or another等笼统的词连用; a certain则可与姓氏连用。
3.some经常含有不在乎、不感兴趣、轻蔑,甚至不赞成、不喜欢的意思; (a) certain则一般不带或少带感情色彩。
4.a certain还可和抽象名词连用,暗示说话者该用什么词来表达心里的想法拿不太准,在许多情况下,那个选出来的词有点不达意、不寻常,用a certain有助于削弱该词的奇特程度。
