Grammarians have sometimes condemned categorically the so-called double genitive construction,as ina friend of my father`s; a book of mine. The construction is well supported by literary precedent,however, and serves a useful purpose.Thus there is no substitute for the double genitive in a sentence such asThat`s the only friend of yours that I`ve ever met, since sentences such asThat`s your only friend that I`ve ever met and That`s your only friend, whom I`ve ever met are obviously impossible. 语法学家有时谴责这种范畴上的双重所有格形式,如我父亲的朋友;我的一本书 。 这种结构为许多文学先进所支持,认为它们是很有用的。在一个如那是我曾经遇到的你唯一的朋友 的句子中双重所有格是没有替代式的, 因为句子如那是我曾遇到的你唯一的朋友 和 那是唯一一个我曾遇到的你的朋友 显然是完全不一样的
