Who is this/that? 回答时是不应该重复this或that的,而应该用人称代词。如果this或that指的是人,而且此人的性别清楚可变,this或that实为this man/woman或that man/woman的省略,则用he或she来回答。如果此人性别难以区分,则用中性代词it。
电话中问 Who is that? 回答为This is XXX speaking.
如:
A(敲门)
B:Who is that?
A:It's Eva.(或I'am Eva)
2、打电话的时候
A(打电话)
B:(接电话)Who is that?
A:This is Eva
3、日常交谈,问“他/她/那是谁?”
A:Who is that?
B :He/She is Eva.(或That is my sister)
也有这么说的:
绝对不能用this 和that来回答。
为了避免重复,应该把this和that改为it。
即:It is a/an +名词单数。
It is 可以缩略成It's。
如:What is this?It's a book.又如:What is that?It's a pen.跟它类似的还有What are these? What are those?答语都用They're 不能用These are 和 Those are。
