三、替代表泛指的复数名词

替代表泛指的复数名词，通常用ones。如：

Green apples often taste better than red ones. 青苹果往往比红苹果好吃。

We can lend you plastic chairs or metal ones. 我们可以借给你塑料椅子或者金属椅子。

These chairs have the great advantage of being much cheaper than conventional ones. 这些椅子具有比普通椅子便宜得多的优势。

四、替代表特指的复数名词

替代表特指的复数名词，通常用the ones。如：

I’d like to try on those shoes. The ones at the front of the window. 我想试试那双鞋子。橱窗里前边的那一双。

Are they the ones who moved here recently? 是最近搬到这儿来的那些人吗?

Don’t buy the expensive apples; get the cheaper ones. 别买那价钱贵的苹果，买那便宜的。

注：在口语中，也可用those来替代表特指的复数名词，尤其是当其后有of引导的介词短语或who引导的定语从句时。如：

Waves of red light are about twice as long as those of blue light. 红色光线的波长约为蓝色光线波长的两倍。

五、几点重要的补充说明

1. 当替代词one / ones 紧跟在形容词最高级、序数词以及this, that, these, those, which, either, neither, another等限定词之后时，通常可以省略。如：

I think my dog’s the fastest (one). 我想我的狗是跑得最快的(一只)。

Either (one) will suit me. (这两个当中)哪一个对我都合适。

Let’s have another (one). 咱们再来一个吧。

Which (one) would you like?—That (one) looks the nicest. 您要哪一个?——看起来那个最好。
