很多的英文:
可数:a lot of, lots of, many
不可数:a good/great deal of , a good/ great amount of
两者皆可:a large quantity of, quantities of
同义词辨析:
a lot of 和 lots of :
这两个词组可以当作定语,即当作many或much那样
来使用;因此,谓语动词的数不是依据lot和lots来决定,而是依据of所引导的名词的数来决定。
例如:A lot of time has been wasted.有许多时间给浪费掉了。a lot of =much
A lot of people have been present.已有许多人到了。a lotof=many
There is lots of time to spare.时间绰绰有余。不说 Thereare…
Open meetings often reveal lots of closed winds.公开讨论往往得以开诚布公。of引导的是复数名词
a large quantity of和 quantities of:
quantities of无论修饰可数还是不可数名词、谓语动词都用复数。
例如:
Quantities of food nuts were on the table. 桌子上有许多食品坚果。
a quantity of+可数名词复数、谓语动词用复数;+不可数名词、谓语动词用单数。即修饰可数或不可数名词均可,作主语时采取就近一致的原则,其谓语动词通常与短语中of后面的名词的数保持一致。
例如:
A large quantity of beer was sold out. 大量的啤酒被售出。
A large quantity of blouses were on sale. 大量罩衫有售。
英语中有许多词语可用来表示“许多”,根据性质可分为三大类。
1修饰可数名词复数形式的有 many, a good/great many, quite a few, a large 或great/small number of等,其后的谓语动词用复数形式。
2修饰不可数名词的有much, a great deal of, quite a little, an amount of等。其后的谓语动词用单数形式。
3既能修饰可数名词,又能修饰不可数名词的有 a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a great quantity of等,谓语动词根据主语是可数或不可数决定单复数形式。
