1.that和those通常用作指使代词,也可用作替代词。它们总是伴随着限定性的后置修饰语,分别等于the one和 the ones。例如:

The houses of the rich are generally larger than those of the poor.

2.that也可替代不可数名词,但是 the one则不能。例如:

The resistance of a thicker wire is less than that of a thin one.

以上两例中的that都不能换成the one。

3.that作替代词,只能指物,不能指人。those作替代词,既可指物,也可指人。例如:

The blonde girl I saw was older than the one you were dancing with.

该句中的the one不能换成that。

4.that用作替代词和它所替代的名词词组的中心词的“数”可以不一致。替代单数名词时,只替代“the +单数名词”,不可替代“a+单数名词”。例如:

The song by Schubert is more tuneful than that by Britain.(that=the song。song为可数名词。)

请注意,这里说的that只替代“the +单数名词”,不可替代“a+单数名词,系指that在句子中实际的作用,并非要求它在句子中所代表的前面出现的词组必须是“the +单数名词。例如:

In those days they lived a life worse than that of a beast of burden.

在该句中,前面出现的词组为a life,但that替代的却是the life。

that作为替代词,它不能用于零关系分句(即没有关系代词的定语从句)之前。例如:

The problem confronting us today is not dissimilar from that which the nation confronted in the 1930s.
