四、形容词用作同位语

The current affair, the biggest in its history, is being held in Guangzhou. 目前的交易会，是有史以来规模最大的，正在广州举行。

He read all kinds of books, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. 他读了很多书，古今中外都有。

People, old and young, took to the streets to watch the parade. 老老少少的人都来到街头观看游行。

【温馨提示】这类同位语与定语比较接近，可转换成定语从句。如：

The current affair, the biggest in its history, is being held in Guangzhou.

=The current affair, which is the biggest in its history, is being held in Guangzhou.

五、none of us之类的结构用作同位语

We none of us said anything. 我们谁也没说话。

We have none of us large appetites. 我们谁饭量都不大。

They neither of them wanted to go. 他们两人都不想去。

They’ve neither of them succeeded in winning her confidence. 他们两人谁也没能赢得她的信任。

【温馨提示】注意，同位语并不影响其后句子谓语的“数”，如：

学生每人都有一本词典。

正：The students each have a dictionary.

误：The students each has a dictionary.

请比较下面一句（谓语用了单数，因为each为句子主语）：

正：Each of the students has a dictionary.

六、从句用作同位语（即同位语从句）

They were worried over the fact that you were sick. 他们为你生病发愁。

I received a message that she would be late. 我得到的信息说她可能晚到。

The news that we are having a holiday tomorrow is not true. 明天放假的消息不实。

The idea that you can do this work without thinking is wrong. 你可以不动脑筋做此工作的想法是错误的。
