elderly 係個形容詞, 唔係名詞
所以唔可以直接跟prep後面, 亦都唔可以自己當名詞用
*The government should provide more services for elderly
*Many elderly are living alone.
意思上elderly基本上係等於old, 但更有禮貌
elderly people (長者)
old people (老人)
用法:
1) 放係名詞前面 elderly people
2) 放係the 前面 the elderly
英文 the + adj. 既結構可以泛指形容詞表示既果類人既整體
the rich (富人), the poor (窮人), the elderly (長者)
後面接眾數動詞
The rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer.
至於講番DSE條題目
Elderly home 係安老院而家大家都知啦
The elderly’s home 似乎仍然解安老院
Google過the elderly’s home, elderly people’s home, 大部分結果都係解老人院
(pay a visit to) the home of an elderly/aged person 就真係探老人住既果間屋
或者visit the elderly who live in a flat alone…
而好多考生唔明既benefit for the elderly home
For呢個prep 係可以標記受益人(mark the beneficiary)
所以係解為安老院帶黎既好處
點解無啦啦要講呢個呀?唔係服務老人咩?
因為個語境係要同間老人院合作搞服務
佢無著數既話做乜要同你搞場大龍鳳?
咁點解要同校長講呢?
係因為要展示呢個計劃既可行性
所以考評局expect既答案可能係:
幫佢宣傳, 提升形象等等
