有读者问： 有这样一个句子：
(1)I arrived home on April 2, and that same day I broke my leg.
这里为什么用that same day而不用the same day?
这里的that same与the same同义。但前者较为古旧，并具有轻蔑或诅咒的语气。再如：
(2)A man asked me the time, and later I saw that same man catching a bus.
(3)The older man recognized, no doubt, in the younger that same ardent longing to achieve distinction which dominated himself.
(4)He said that his government would not react with that same hysteria peculiar to rightist forces in America.
除that外，还有this, those等亦可与same连用，如：
(5)Her grandmother had once defended a log cabin in this same state against an Indian attack.
(6)This same thing, happening in wartime, would amount to disaster.
(7)Those same people who support lower taxes complain when the Government cut services.（亦可说these same people）
