英语“许多”
英语中的“许多”
英语中“许多”的表达法有很多,其中有的只能修饰可数名词,有的只能修饰不可数名词,有的既可修饰可数名词,又可修饰不可数名词。
修饰可数:a(good/large/many/great)number of/numbers of;many(注:a great many=a number of)
修饰不可数:much;a (great) deal of(+ 名词)(a great deal后加形容词);a bit of(+名词)(a bit后加形容词);(an)(large)amount of/amounts of
可数不可数皆可(谓语动词随修饰的名词):a (large) quantity of/quantities of(注:quantities of是个例外。无论其修饰可数不可数,谓语动词一律用复数);a lot of/lots of;plenty of; masses of;a pile of/piles of
1. 只能修饰可数名词复数形式的有:many,a great/good many,quite a few,a(large)number of,large numbers of,most等,其后的谓语动词要用复数形式。如:
A large number of houses were destroyed in the earthquake.
在地震中许多的房屋被摧毁了。
A great many people lost their lives in the accident.
许多人在车祸中丧身。
注意 many/most与many of/most of的区别。
many/most后直接接名词的复数形式,意义为“许多……”;而many of/most of后要接定冠词the+名词的复数形式,意义为“……中的许多”。如:
(1)There are 35 boys in our class. Most boys are from the countryside.
我们班共有35个男孩子,许多的男孩子都来自农村。
(2)There are 35 boys in our class. Most of the boys are from the countrysid
