题目

求一句话修改!
I have worked closely with thousands of talented students, while I regard him as one of the elite among whom I have ever taught.
有问题吗?特别是elite用在这里.
补充中文：（我是老师.）我和几千个学生有过接触,而我认为他（这个学生）是我教过的学生中的精英之一.

答案

试修改成：I have worked closely with thousands of talented students, whom I regard as a member of the elite whom I have ever taught.
注意：常看到中国人说 one of the elites, 但这个短语意思是（若干）精英集体之一,因为elite 是集合名词,就像我们说：one of the groups, one of the classes, one of the families.很明显,若要表示这r些集体的成员之一,就应该加上可表示个体成员的词.ALD 上面就有这样例句：a member of the ruling / intilectual elite, 译成“上层统治集团的 / 知识界的精英.
另一个可考虑的表达方法是 one from / belonging to the elite (group).
若用 one of elite 似也勉强可以接受,但决不能 o说one of the elites.
