This is Everyday Grammar. I'm Lucija.
欢迎收看《每日语法》栏目，我是露西佳。
And I'm Kaveh. I'm really sad today.
我是卡维。我今天很伤心。
I just found out that some grammar rules...are dying.
我刚发现一些语法规则……正在消失。
What? Kaveh, I wouldn't get upset because that's actually quite normal.
什么？卡维，我不沮丧，因为这很正常。
Some grammar rules are with us for a long time, while others just fade way.
一些语法规则陪伴我们很长时间了，而另一些则在淡出视线。
But I don't think that's fair.
但我认为这不公平。
Well, let's look at some of these grammar rules.
好吧，我们来看看这些语法规则。
When is the last time you used Whom in a sentence?
你最后一次在句子中使用Whom是什么时候?
I don't know. Whom refers to an object pronoun.
不知道了。Whom是宾格代词。
And I guess if I asked where someone was going,
我猜如果我问某人要去哪里，
I wouldn't normally say, "With whom are you going?"
通常不会说“With whom are you going?”
See! But Whom is still used in formal writing, unlike Ye, Thee, Thy and Thine. They are then gone.
明白了吧！但在正式写作中仍使用Whom，不像Ye，Thee，Thy和Thine都消失了。
I don't miss them. What about the fate of third-person pronouns, though?
我不想念它们。不过，第三人称代词的命运如何呢?
Are you talking about She, He, Him, Her, and His being replaced by the singular Their, They and Them?
你是说She，He，Him，Her和His正被单独的Their，They和Them取代吗？
That is actually helpful when gender is mixed or unknown.
性别含糊或未知时，这实际上很有帮助。
Ok, then I'll also not worry about sometimes ending a sentence with a preposition.
好吧，那我也不用担心有时用介词来结尾了。
Like "who are you talking to?"
比如“who are you talking to?”
or "What are you waiting for?"
或“What are you waiting for?”
Yeah. I does sound more natural in conversation than
没错。在谈话中，
"To whom are you talking?" or " For what are you waiting?"
“To whom are you talking”或“For what are you waiting?”的确听起来更自然。
And that's Everyday Grammar.
以上就是今天的全部内容。
