These和those是一對(duì)常見(jiàn)的易混淆詞匯，你是否分得清這兩個(gè)“相似物”的適用場(chǎng)合呢？一起看看牛津博客怎么講吧！

These/those are the plural forms of this/that, and behave in the same way.
These/those是this/that的復(fù)數(shù)形式，且使用方法相似。

As a determiner this is used to identify a specific person or thing close at hand or being experienced.
作為限定詞，this用來(lái)指定在手邊的或正在經(jīng)歷的具體人或物，意為“這個(gè)”

These表示this的復(fù)數(shù)形式，意為“這些”：

You know these last few months when we've been expecting it to warm up a little bit?
你知道最近這幾個(gè)月我們一直盼望著天能暖和一點(diǎn)吧？

As a determiner that refers to the more distant of two things near to the speaker, or to a specific thing previously mentioned.
作為限定詞，that用來(lái)指兩個(gè)物體中相對(duì)于說(shuō)話(huà)者更遠(yuǎn)的那一個(gè)，或某個(gè)之前提及的具體事物。意為“那個(gè)”

Those表示that的復(fù)數(shù)形式，意為“那些”：

He did buy me those?books a week? ago.

他確實(shí)在一個(gè)星期前給我買(mǎi)了那些書(shū)。
