Wind大長圖節選

All of this came from my amazing fans in the Land of the Living.

為什麼是this而不是these呢?
這是把房間里所有東西看做一個整體, 用this指代
類似的That mobile is cheap. It has front and rear camera. It has a good battery. All this makes it a great phone
Participants commonly report increased mental clarity, improved quality of sleep, higher energy levels, and better moods. You can achieve all of this without having to...
看看下圖的講解, 加深一下印象

那麼可不可以用all of these呢?
語法上是可以的, 但在這個語境下, 當指代所有這些東西時, 常常你會聽到native speaker用all of this/all this. 你可以多觀察一下
the Land of the Living=活人的世界
反過來, the Land of the Dead就是死人的世界
the living, the dead是the+形容詞表示類別的用法, 類似的有the rich, the poor等
living, alive和live這3個詞都有"活著的"意思, 如何區分?
先說alive, 注意它出現的位置
可以說Shes still alive和Theres nobody left alive.
但不能說an alive person或an alive dog
像asleep, awake等其它包含a-的形容詞在句中位置也和alive一樣
再說live, 一般多用於修飾物, 不用於修飾人; 在"活著的"這層意思基礎上, 更多強調活蹦亂跳的, 活生生的意思
比如We saw a real live snake!或She bought some live fish from the market
living可以指人或物. a living poet. living languages(仍然被人使用的語言)
所以這裡的the Land of the Living不能替換為alive或live

從第141篇開始, 我不再放出我自己聽寫的版本, 而是改為在答案上標記重難點, 大家特別注意一下我加粗的地方。
