上列第二個句子中的ones是代名詞, 用來代替前面已提過的名詞shoes。原句實為:
These (= These high-heeled shoes) are too high. Do you have lower high-heeled shoes?
但high-heeled shoes重複了一次, 就修辭而言應予避免, 故用ones代替。這個ones專用來代替前面已提過的複數名詞, 而one則是用來代替前面已提過的單數名詞。
例: Those mangos are delicious, especially the red mangos. (劣)
→Those mangos are delicious, especially the red ones. (佳)
(那些芒果很好吃,尤其是紅色的那些。)
Jack wants a new bike, but he doesn't have enough money to buy a new bike. (劣)
→ Jack wants a new bike, but he doesn't have enough money to buy one. (佳)
(傑克想要一輛新的自行車,但他沒有足夠的錢買。)
