As English adjectives are converted into nouns, we should pay attention to 3 points.
1) Some adjectives with definite articles, which indicate specific groups of persons or things, are usually converted into nouns. The first sentence is a good example.
2) Some adjectives, which are used as predicatives to indicate the nature of things, or with Chinese characters 期 性 度 体 remaining in context in translating, can be converted into nouns. Sentences 2~4 typically show us this skill.
3) We should pay attention to the differences between English and Chinese in lexical arrangement. In English, the relationship between the modifier and recipient is flexible because English language highlights form or structure whereas Chinese language lays stress on meaning. This distinction calls for our adjudgement in translation.
