He was rushed to the airport in time to catch the one plane that might enable him to reach his dying father.


one 在這是做形容詞嗎?意思是惟一的?

大家做個比較:

1. a plane:一架飛機(泛指)

2. the plane:那架飛機(特指)

2. one plane:一架飛機(強調不是兩架)

3. the one place:那一架飛機(特定的一架,但不是唯一)

4. the only plane:唯一的飛機

5. the only one plane:唯一的一架飛機

例子4, 5 意思相同。
