But those who object to the choice of masculine forms in such cases may prefer the phrasealumni and alumnae or the form alumnae/i ; this is the choice, for example, of many women's colleges that have begun to admit men.alumni, 作为男校友 alumnus 的复数形式与 alumnae, 女校友 alumna 的复数形式两者不同的事实, 随着共同教育学院的出现而造成了许多麻烦。通常,alumni 用来指男女毕业生。 但那些反对选择阳性词的人可能会赞同使用词组alumniandalumnae 或者 alumnae/i 这种形式; 如很多已经开始招收男生的女子学院就选择了这种形式 |
