本来就有单数词性的:anybody, anyone, everybody, everyone, nobody, no one, somebody, someone。
问题在于在下文使用代词时无法确定使用he还是she。
目前:
-在口语中,可用they指代anybody, everybody, somebody, etc.
-在正式书面语中:
(1)如可确定性别,则用he/him 或是 she/her
(2)如不确定性别,则用 "he or she"
(3)重写句子以避免此问题:
·变单数为复数:When someone studies, he can learn a lot. --> When people study, they can learn a lot.
·用you改写句子:When you study, you can learn a lot.
·去掉代词:Studying is a good way to learn a lot.
