"one of＋名詞復(fù)數(shù)”表示“……之一”
2. all of her family work in herbusiness.她所有的家人都在她的公司工作。
☆family表示“家庭”或“家人”，是集合名詞，若視為整體，動詞用單數(shù)；若逐個考慮其個體，則動詞用復(fù)數(shù)。例：my family is very large.我家是個大家庭。my family are all verywell.我的家人都很好。

the above is a brief account of my daily life on weekdays.there isno school on sundays. i usually review my lessons in the morningand call on some friends or to go to see a film in theafternoon.
補充材料b
一、usually, sometimes, always,often等詞在英文中被稱為“頻度副詞”，是用來表示動作頻率的，但程度上有別。一般說來可按頻率大小排列：
always＞usually＞often＞sometimes＞seldom（很少）＞never（決不）
其中：
always是頻度最大的詞,意為"總是；永遠"。如:
i shall always remember my first day atschool.我將永遠記住我上學(xué)的第一天。
usually意為"通常",即很少例外,頻度僅次于always。如:
what do you usually have forbreakfast?你通常早餐吃什么？
often意為"經(jīng)常",在頻度上不如usually那么頻繁。如:
li ping often does his homework in theafternoon.李平經(jīng)常在下午做作業(yè)。
sometimes意為"有時候",頻度比often小,表示動作偶爾發(fā)生,間斷較大。如:
1.i sometimes go to the library.我有時去圖書館。
2.sometimes i read a book in theevening.我有時在晚上看書。
二、頻度副詞的位置
1. 在be動詞之后。如：
she is sometimes very busy. 她有時很忙。
2. 在第一個動詞或情態(tài)動詞之后。如：
i will never forget the first time i met you.我將永遠忘不了和你的第一次見面。
3. 在實義動詞之前。如：
we often go there. 我們常去那兒。
4. sometimes也可放在句首、句中或句末，often也可放在句末。如：
sometimes she writes to me. 她有時候給我寫信。
she writes to me often. 她經(jīng)常給我寫信。
三、用法
1. often, always,usually等通常和一般現(xiàn)在時連用，表示現(xiàn)在經(jīng)常或反復(fù)發(fā)生的動作。如：
it often rains here in april. 這兒四月份常下雨。
2.always與進行時連用時，并不強調(diào)動作正在進行，而是表示贊嘆、厭煩等情緒。如：
he is always thinking of others. 他總是想著別人。（贊嘆）
she is always asking silly questions.她老是問些愚蠢的問題。（厭煩）
3. 對這些頻度副詞提問時，用how often。如：
i write to my brother sometimes.
how often do you write to your brother?
1.tom usually does his lessons after supper.湯姆通常在晚飯后做功課。
how oftendoes tom do his lessons after supper？
2.kate sometimes plays games with her elder sister.凱特有時和她的姐姐做游戲。
how oftendoes kate play games with her elder sister？
四、時態(tài)：頻度副詞常與一般時態(tài)連用，如果帶某種情感時則與進行時態(tài)連用。如：
1.myfather usually tells me a story on sundayevenings.我爸爸通常在星期天晚上給我講一個故事。
2.whenhe was a child， he was always asking questions and trying out newideas. 他小的時候，總是問一些問題，并試驗一些新的觀點。
pretty和 beautiful
beautiful
adj.
美麗的, 很好的
pretty
adj.
漂亮的, 可愛的, 優(yōu)美的, 機靈的, 恰當(dāng)?shù)?/p>
ps.pretty可以修飾形容詞pretty young是相當(dāng)年輕的意思.
she is pretty. 她好漂亮.pretty 當(dāng)作漂亮解時, 和beautiful 程度上差不多, 但如果真的要比的話, beautiful 還是比 pretty要 beautiful 一點. 另外還有一種用法就是當(dāng)球賽有精采的表現(xiàn)時,你就可以說, oh! that’s pretty. 但是不能說, that’s beautiful,跟中文是不是有點類似呢?
pretty和beautiful在漢語的意思上沒有太大的分別。但是在英語里有不同。后者的程度比較深。人家外國人見了人會夸pretty，但是很少用beautiful。除非是那種巨美的。
pretty在某種程度上來說，沒有beatuiful好看，一般外國人不太用beautiful來形容人的，一般只會說pretty girl。
另外的一個區(qū)別是beautiful只能做形容詞，修飾名詞，做定語。而pretty除此種用法外，還能做副詞= very， eg：that’s a pretty good idea。
總的來說pretty單指長得美
beautiful包括心靈美
所以稱贊人還是beautiful好
pretty 和 beautiful
還是幾年前，和兩個同事聊天，聊起了這兩個詞的區(qū)別，記得當(dāng)時我是這么信嘴胡咧咧的：“pretty是指后天的教養(yǎng)，是指一個人為人做事很漂亮，讓人舒服，比如說漂亮人物。而beautiful主要是指天生的、有力量的、能震撼人心的美。”今天又想起這件事，是因為這兩天看了英國bbc出品的6集《傲慢與偏見》，我實在是喜歡《傲慢與偏見》，不同版本的小說和影視作品都搜羅來看，而它令我著迷的原因，就是因為它從滿眼的pretty不經(jīng)意間就落到了beautiful上。
紳士和淑女的生活，講究的就是一個pretty，雖然這種生活有些令人乏味。麗萃和她姐姐簡是班納特一家最pretty的兩個人物了，而且簡還是公認的美人，然而她們的媽媽和妹妹們卻很讓人胸悶，言談舉止幾乎處處失當(dāng)，因此也造就了簡和麗萃婚姻上的一波三折。簡和彬格萊先生一見鐘情，然而一場舞會，一次全家人的集體出丑，彬格萊先生熱心的朋友達西和高傲的妹妹有心的勸阻，就促成了彬格萊先生棄簡而去，而簡對這個結(jié)果幾乎一直是聽天由命、逆來順受。后來多虧了達西的良心發(fā)現(xiàn)，才促成了彬格萊和簡最后的喜結(jié)良緣。無可否認彬格萊和簡是一對漂亮人物，可是一直到結(jié)束，他們也僅僅讓我覺得是一對漂亮人物而已。麗萃和達西就給了我完全不一樣的感覺，麗萃從長相上也許不能算是一個美人，可是她有力量，所以她敢于做自己想做的事，不畏懼地位比自己高的人。她拒絕達西的求婚，因為達西對待簡不公正，因為達西不接受她的家人。她也拒絕達西的姨媽對她提出的不許接受達西求婚的不合理要求，因為她要對自己的幸福負責(zé)。隨著麗萃一點一點顯露她的力量和勇氣，她也變得越發(fā)光彩照人起來。麗萃對達西的偏見和達西為人的傲慢，原本是兩人很大的缺點，而達西第一次求婚的失敗促使了兩人對各自缺點的覺悟，接下來兩人的轉(zhuǎn)變就順理成章，結(jié)局就讓我覺得無比的beautiful了。
寫到這里突然想到了城市氣質(zhì)，這是很多人寫過也有很多人響應(yīng)的話題，我覺得上海是很偏重pretty的城市，這大概也是外鄉(xiāng)人到上海不適應(yīng)的原因，可是過分的追求pretty就會像彬格萊小姐或達西的姨媽咖苔琳夫人一樣惹人反感或逗人發(fā)笑。而中國能夠稱上beautiful的城市，我因為孤陋寡聞，不敢妄說，大家不妨評評看。
