助指明名词的含义。英语中的冠词有三种，一种是定冠词（the Definite
Article），另一种是不定冠词（the Indefinite Article），还有一种是零冠词
（Zero Article）。
不定冠词 a (an)与数词 one 同源，是"一个"的意思。a 用于辅音音素

have a cold / have a try / keep an eye on / all of a sudden
定冠词 the 与指示代词 this，that 同源，有"那（这）个"的意思，但
较弱，可以和一个名词连用，来表示某个或某些特定的人或东西。
1）特指双方都明白的人或物：
Take the medicine. 把药吃了。
2）上文提到过的人或事：
He bought a house. I've been to the house.
他买了幢房子。我去过那幢房子。
3）指世上独一物二的事物：
the sun， the sky， the moon， the earth
4）用在序数词和形容词最高级，及形容词 only， very， same 等前
面：
Where do you live? I live on the second floor.
你住在哪？我住在
二层。
That's the very thing I've been looking for.
那正是我要找的东西。

in the day, in the morning (afternoon，evening),
the day after tomorrow
