this和that的區別
this和that的區別有: 表示“這”，指較近的人或物；that 表示“那”，指較遠的人或物。2.用來回指上文提到的事情時，兩者都可以等區別。
1. this 表示“這”，指較近的人或物；that 表示“那”，指較遠的人或物。如：

2.用來回指上文提到的事情時，兩者都可以。如：

他們是學生，不是老師，這點你當然清楚。
John had a bad cold. That [This] was why he didn't turn up.
約翰患了重感冒，這（那）就是他沒有來的原因。
若要指下文敘述的事情，通常要用 this。如：
I want to know this: Is he healthy?
我想知道這一點：他是否很健康。
3. 在打電話時，通常用 this 指自己，用 that 指對方。如：
Hello. This is Jim. Is that John?
喂，我是吉姆，你是約翰嗎?
但在美國英語中指對方時也可用 this。
4. 兩者都可用作副詞，與形容詞或副詞連用，其義爲“這麼”“那麼”（=so）。如：
It isn't all that cold.
還沒冷到那種程度。
