知识梳理
1. At the beginning of the 20th century, the number of tigers in the wild was around 100 000.
the number of意为“……的数量”,它的中心词是number,
引导短语作主语时,谓语动词要用单数形式:
The number of the students is over 2000 in our school.
a number of 表示“许多、大量的”,相当于many,
修饰可数名词复数。作主语时,谓语动词用复数。
number前可用large,small等修饰,表示程度。例如:
The number of students in our class is 50.
The number of pages in this book is 60.
A number of students are planting trees on the hill.
2. But today that number has dropped to a few thousand.
a few thousand表示“几千”当hundred, thousand前面是基数词one, two, three…a few, many时,其后不加s当hundred和thousand后面加s时,需要跟of修饰可数名词复数。例如:
There are three thousand students in our school.
Thousands of students are on the square.
3. For this reason, tigers are important to the environment.
be important to sb./sth.
……对……来说是重要的。
be important for sb./sth.
对于……来说做……是重要的。
例如:
Time is important to me.
It is important for you to get there early.
4. reason/'riːzn /n . 原因;动机;理由
Eg:What is the reason for your long silences?
