用法

(1)The use of the plural demonstratives these and those with kind and sort, as in these kind (or sort ) of films, has been a traditional bugbear of American grammarians. By and large, British grammarians have been more tolerant, and the construction can be found in the works of British writers from Pope to Dickens to Churchill. Grammatically, the question boils down to whether kind and sort should be treated as head nouns (analogous to species or variety, for example) or whether they have become semantically weakened to the status of a sort of phrasal quantifier that functions like an adjective, analogous in some ways to bunch and number in expressions such as a bunch of friends, a number of reasons. If kind and sort are unambiguously nouns, one would expect to see only singular demonstratives and singular verbs accompanying them:

复数形式的指示代词these 和 those 与 kind 和 sort 的用法， 如these kind （或 sort ） of films， 成为美国语法专家长期感到头痛的问题。 总的说来，英国语法专家对此更能容忍，这一句法结构可以在从蒲柏到狄更斯以至丘吉尔这些英国作家的著作中找到。在语法上，问题归结起来是，是否kind 和 sort 应当作中心词名词（例如，与 species 或 variety 类似）， 或者是否他们语义上减弱到一种数量词短语的地位，其功能像一个形容词，某些方面类似于bunch 和 number ， 其表述例如一群朋友，一大堆理由。 如果kind 和 sort 是明确的名词， 人们应该希望只看到单数指示代词和与之相伴的单数动词：

This kind of films is popular (compare This species of spider is found only in the New World ).

这种电影很流行（与 这种蜘蛛只在西半球界发现过 比较）。

(2)If they are functioning as adjectives, however, the plural demonstrative and plural verb should be acceptable:

然而，如果它们的功能象形容词，那么复数指示代词和复数动词是能够接受的：

These kind of films are popular.

这种电影很流行。

(3)In fact, the kind of construction can be plausibly analyzed either way, which is doubtless why writers have mixed and matched the number of demonstratives and verbs in just about every possible combination. We find reputable precedent for this kind of films are, these kind of films are, this kind of films is, these kind of films is, and so on. There are only two reliable regularities: when the plural kinds is used, the demonstrative and the verb must also be plural:

实际上，kind of 结构可以用任一方式分析， 这毫无疑问是作家混用了指示代词和动词的每一种可能的结合，并且每一种结合的数量大致相等的原因。我们找到规范的先例，如this kind of films are, these kind of films are, this kind of films is, these kind of films is 等等。 只有两种可信赖的规律：当复数kinds 使用时， 指示代词和动词也只是复数：

These (not this ) kinds of films are (not is ) popular.

These（不是 this ） kinds of films are （不是 is ） popular。

(4)By the same token, when both kind and the noun following it are singular, the verb must be singular:

由于同样的原因，当kind 和它后面跟的名词都是单数时， 动词必须是单数：

This kind of film is (not are ) popular.

This kind of film is（不是 are ） popular。

(5)To this may be added a word of caution to American writers: despite the existence of ample literary precedent for these kind of films, the construction has been so thoroughly stigmatized by native grammarians that its use would have to be reckoned indiscreet, if not strictly incorrect.

关于这一点也许可以给美国作家加上一句警告：尽管有大量的像these kind of films 一样的文学上的先例存在， 这一结构已被本国的语法专家彻底否定掉，以至于它的用法即使不认为是严格的错误，也会被认作不慎重
