'One' serves as a number, pronoun, and determiner. As a pronoun, it replaces a singular noun to avoid repetition ('I need a pen - do you have one?'). In formal English, 'one' can mean 'a person in general' ('one must be careful'), though this is considered old-fashioned in everyday speech.
「one」作为数字、代词和限定词。作为代词,它替代单数名词以避免重复(「I need a pen - do you have one?」)。在正式英语中,「one」可以表示「一般人」(「one must be careful」),尽管这在日常口语中被认为是老式的。
«One» funciona como número, pronombre y determinante. Como pronombre, reemplaza un sustantivo singular para evitar repetición («I need a pen - do you have one?»). En inglés formal, «one» puede significar «una persona en general» («one must be careful»), aunque esto se considera anticuado en el habla cotidiana.
「one」は数字、代名詞、限定詞として機能します。代名詞として、繰り返しを避けるために単数名詞を置き換えます(「I need a pen - do you have one?」)。フォーマルな英語では、「one」は「一般的に人は」を意味することができます(「one must be careful」)が、これは日常会話では古風とみなされます。
'one'은 수사, 대명사, 한정사로 사용됩니다. 대명사로 쓰일 때는 반복을 피하기 위해 단수 명사를 대신합니다('펜이 필요한데 하나 있나요?'). 격식체 영어에서 'one'은 '일반적인 사람'을 뜻할 수 있지만('사람은 조심해야 한다'), 일상 대화에서는 다소 고풍스러운 표현으로 여겨집니다.

- One never knows what might happen. 谁也不知道会发生什么。Uno nunca sabe lo que puede pasar.何が起こるかは誰にもわかりません。무슨 일이 일어날지는 아무도 모릅니다.
