“这是我爸爸和妈妈”如何翻译成英文？

问题补充

“这是我爸爸和妈妈”应该翻译成“This is my dad and mom.”还是“These are my dad and mom.”？在Google英文搜索中”this is my dad and mom”（搜索中加双引号）返回结果11,300,000条，搜索”these are my dad and mom”（带双引号）返回结果8条。

回答

this is my dad and mom，又当爹又当妈啊！

回答

confusing.
类似的说法还有：This is my father and this is my mother.
还有人说，用到these的时候应该这样：These are my father and my mother.

回答

dad and mom, 二者同质，如同 knife and fork, 单复数跟着离谓语最近的一项走。
为啥不直接说 these are my parents呢？

回答

在语法上来说，第二句才是正确的。

This is my dad and mom，翻译应该是“这是我的爸爸兼妈妈”。（He is a teacher and writer, 他是一个教师兼作家，也就是说他既是教师又是作家）

但是第一句用在口语，并不会产生太大歧义，如果是同时有dad and mom 在场的话。

回答

应该是单数。
仿佛支持复数的都没解释清楚为何单数得到的搜索结果更多。

中文里你是说“这是我的父母”还是“这些是我的父母”呢

回答

说英语要看语境：
介绍父母的话可以说：This is my father， and (this is my ) mother.
或者，These’re my parents.
学英语不要过于扣语法，要在具体语境中运用，有语境中产生的疑惑才可以正确分析解答。

回答

都对，看什么环境下用。

貌似前者更常见些。

英文中的谓语跟着主语跑，跟宾语没关系。也就是说不要因为宾语是复数，主语是单数，就认为谓语应该是复数。

明白这点就容易理解了。
