1. 表特指 所謂表特指，就是說此時的what 在用法上大致相當(dāng)于the。如： What money I have will be yours when I die. = The money I have will be yours when I die. 我一死我的錢就都給你。 What possessions I have are yours.=The possessions I have are yours. 我的所有的財產(chǎn)都是你的。 2. 表“微量” 有時不僅表特指，而且還表“微量”，即含有“量不多”之意。如果將“特指”和“微量”結(jié)合起來，該結(jié)構(gòu)的意思就是“雖不多，但全部”，有時可譯為“僅有”。如： What ideas he has are his wife’s. 他僅有的一點想法都是他妻子的。 What friends she has are out of the country. 她有的那些朋友全在國外。 這類“what+名詞”結(jié)構(gòu)并不是總具有“微量性”，即有時有，有時沒有。如果要想明確或強化這種微量性特點，我們可以該結(jié)構(gòu)的名詞前加上表示微量的修飾語few(用于復(fù)數(shù)名詞前)或little(用于不可數(shù)名詞前)。如： What few friends she has are out of the country.=The few friends she has are out of the country. 她僅有的幾個朋友都在國外。 What little free time he had was spent with the family.= The little free time he had was spent with the family. 他僅有的一點空余時間都是與家人在一起度過的。
