When it comes to homophones, or words that sound the same but are spelled differently, it can be rather difficult to tell the two words apart. When do you use which word? This post explains the difference between who’s and whose.

當(dāng)談到同音異義詞，或發(fā)音相同但拼寫不同的詞匯，我們常常難以區(qū)分這樣的詞匯。什么時(shí)候用哪個(gè)詞總是一個(gè)問題。本文將解釋who's和whose的區(qū)別。
Who's v. Whose
Both these words deal with people. The difference is what situations they show.
who's和whose都用于人，區(qū)別在于使用的場合。
Who's definition
Who's的解釋
Who's is the contraction for who and is.
Who's 是who和is的縮寫
Every time you use this word, you must be asking or talking about someone. You should be able to substitute who is to any use of who's. If the sentence still makes sense, then you have used it correctly!
每次使用這個(gè)詞的時(shí)候一定是在詢問或談?wù)撃橙�。Who's的使用方法與who is相同。如果替換這兩個(gè)詞后句意不變，那么你使用的就是正確的！
Most commonly, who's is used to ask a question. Note that using a contraction is usually standard in English speaking, but is not formal enough to use in a written piece.
一般而言，who's是用來提問的。但是請注意，在英語口語中使用縮寫是正確的，但在書面語中使用則不夠正式。
Who's the person in charge of organizing the food and drinks for this party?
誰負(fù)責(zé)宴會上的食物和飲料？
Who's knocking at the door?
誰在敲門？
Likewise, you can use it in statements.
同樣地，可以在以下陳述語中使用。
I have a friend who's interested in the open position at your company.
我有個(gè)朋友，他對你們公司的公開職位感興趣。
I can't believe who's walking around the neighborhood this late at night.
我不能相信這么晚還有人在附近走動。
Whose definition
Whose的解釋
Whose is used to show possession.
whose用來表示所有或占有。
The list of equivalent words for whose includes my, his, her, our, your, etc. If you are asking whether something belongs to someone, you can use whose. Substituting any of the possessive pronouns for whose should make for a sentence that makes sense.
whose可以用來表示包括my, his, her, our, your等詞所表示的一些所屬關(guān)系。如果詢問某樣?xùn)|西是否屬于某人，可使用whose�？捎孟鄳�(yīng)所有格代詞代替用由whose組成的句子。
Whose books are these that have been left all over the floor?
落在地板上的書是誰的？
I do not know whose trash that is, but it has been there for the past week.
我不知道那是誰的垃圾，但是已經(jīng)在這里一周了。
In addition, whose can be a transition word to join an adjective phrase to a person or group of people. Whose and that both serve this purpose, and you use whose when the adjective is talking about a subject that is a person.
此外，whose可以作為一個(gè)過渡詞加入形容詞短語來表示對一個(gè)人或一群人進(jìn)行限制。whose和that的作用都是進(jìn)行限制，當(dāng)形容詞描述的主體是關(guān)于人的時(shí)候，將使用whose。
I just met a man whose daughter is studying for her college entrance exams, just like I am!
我剛剛遇到一個(gè)人，他的女兒正在為大學(xué)入學(xué)考試學(xué)習(xí)，和我一樣！
The student whose parents do not have enough time to care for him or her is likely to do poorly in school, even if the family is of high socioeconomic status and hires tutors for the child.
即使學(xué)生家庭具有很高的社會經(jīng)濟(jì)地位，并為孩子聘請家教，但如果學(xué)生父母沒有足夠的時(shí)間照顧學(xué)生，學(xué)生仍可能在課堂上表現(xiàn)糟糕。
