新航道小編為了幫助各位烤鴨全面掌握語法知識，更好地備戰雅思考試!每周會更新關于雅思語法問題，希望對各位備考雅思考試有所幫助。本期帶來了3分鐘就能學會的雅思語法(第15期)：什時候我不需要the?

  冠詞the，在聽閱中不干擾考生理解，但在口寫中著實容易翻車。

  那么，本期就來學習什么時候需要the，什么時候不需要吧!

  示例一

  不需要the：國家/地名(該名不指a group of islands or states)

  需要the：the + 國家/地名(該名指a group of islands or states)

  The increment was slightly larger in America/England/Japan.

  The increment was slightly larger in the United States/the UK/the United Arab Emirates.

  示例二

  不需要the：第一次出現的或不限定的復數名詞(泛指)

  需要the：前文已提及的或限定的單數/復數名詞(特指)

  Human beings are especially superstitious about numbers.

  The number eight is considered lucky in some countries.

  示例三

  需要the：the + 名詞 + of something 特指

  不需要the：名詞 + of something 泛指

  不需要the：every/each + 名詞 + of something

  If the relentless advance of international brands into every corner of the world continues, these bland packages might one day completely oust the traditional objects of a nation.

  Survival of the fittest is nature’s way of ruthlessly allowing weaker specimens to die out.

  總結

  以上是高頻出現的與the相關的用法，當然還有一些細節小點，我們也要注意積累。

  接下來，就以一段劍橋上的原文來結束本期吧：

  The evidence of climate change is there for us all to see: rising sea levels and associated flooding with the loss of homes at low land levels are becoming more frequent. …Habitable areas are gradually shrinking, often for some of the poorest groups of people, but there seems to be little obvious action taking place. If the major contributors to climate change will not support the reduction of greenhouse gases, there is little hope for the future.
