various的用法:
10. Various is sometimes used as a pronoun, as in He spoke to various of the members. It is not clear why this usage should be regarded as an error, since it is supported by analogy to the uses of quantifiers such as few, many, and several. But it has occasioned widespread critical objections; in an earlier survey the usage was found unacceptable by 91 percent of the Usage Panel.
Various 有时用做代词, 如在他和成员中的好几个人谈过话。 因为,对数量词如few, many 和 several 的用法的类推支持这种用法,所以为什么这种用法被看做是一种错误就不明确了。 但是也遇到不同的广泛流传的批评性的反对,在一次早期调查中发现,用法专题使用小组的百分之九十一的成员对此用法不予接受
