我们可以说这里的half the man而不是half of the man吗?我不熟悉从句half + 名词。

Half the man/woman/person one used to be单独是一个表达式,所以没有必要写o f这里。这种成语通常意味着某人已经发生了很大的变化,不再值得尊重。示例: After she got a fancy job, she no longer talks to her family or friends. She's not half the person she used to be. (她在完成一份临时性工作后不与家人或朋友聊天。她He's not half the man he used to be. He's become snobby and judgmental.以前He's not half the man he used to be. He's become snobby and judgmental. 。)例子: He's not half the man he used to be. He's become snobby and judgmental.以前He's not half the man he used to be. He's become snobby and judgmental. (他已经改变了。他已经成为挑衅性地批评他人的人。)
