2014職稱英語考試語法輔導之量詞的使用

　　可數名詞與不可數名詞中量詞的使用

　　由于英語中名詞分可數與不可數，量詞的使用也有區(qū)別：

　　修飾可數名詞

　　(a) few / fewer / fewest

　　many / more / most

　　a great (good) many

　　many a

　　a number of

　　the number of

　　既可修飾可數名詞 也可修飾不可數名詞

　　a lot of / lots of

　　plenty of (time, money, people)

　　修飾不可數名詞

　　(a) little / less / least

　　much / more / most

　　a great (good) deal of

　　an amount of / amounts of

　　the amount of

　　量詞使用中應注意的幾個問題：

　　1) 分清可數名詞和不可數名詞是前提;

　　2) 不要把量詞的形式搞混淆了：下面哪個表達形式是對的?

　　A. A lot students have come back from the summer holiday.

　　B. A few of the students have come back from the summer holiday.

　　C. A great many of students have come back from the summer holiday.

　　D. Many a student has have come back from the summer holiday.

　　E. The number of students have come back from the summer holiday.

　　F. A number of students have come back from the summer holiday.

　　以上六個表達方式中只有F 是對的。為什么?

　　A. a lot students → a lot of students

　　B. a few of the students → a few students

　　C. a great many of students → a great many students

　　D. Many a student has come back from the summer holiday.

　　E. The number of 表示數目，如：The number of the students in our class is 50.

　　A number of 表示"一些"，"不少"，認真對比一下，看出問題來了嗎?

　　問多少錢、多少重量時用：How much…?問距離時用：How far is it from…to…?
