喜樂美語
  1. 1pron/aʊrz/ · /aʊəz/我們的（東西）

    Used to talk about a thing or things that belong to us or are connected with us, when the thing has already been said or is clear.

    「ours」是「我們的那個／那些」，重點是它自己就站得住，後面不再接名詞：our room 要接 room，ours 已經把 room 包在裡面了（Ours is next door. = Our room is next door.）。可以想成 our + 名詞被壓成一個字，所以再加名詞就重複了。它跟著它代表的東西變單複數：一間房間用 Ours is…，很多顆腦袋用 ours are…。另外有個常見說法 a friend of ours（我們的一個朋友），這裡也是用 ours，不用 our。

From the word’s history

From Middle English oures; our + -s, formed by analogy with his.

源自中古英文 oures，是 our 加 -s，仿照 his 的形式。

Wiktionary

A word that stands in for "our + the thing we already mentioned", so you do not have to say the thing twice. Point at something and claim it for the group you are in: this one is on our side of the line.

可以想成一個「替身」：東西前面已經講過了，ours 就把「我們的＋那個東西」整包接手，不必再說一次名詞。Their garden is bigger than ours，後面那個 ours 就等於 our garden。用它的時候等於在畫一條線，把那樣東西劃到自己這一群人這邊。

意思相反

yourstheirs
