单词 | many(a lot of, lots of) |
释义 | many : a lot of / lots of — 558 1a. 前者这个形容词通常以用于否定和疑问两种结构比较相宜(参见词目 559 和 560 );肯定结构,往往要改用后者。 例如:“ Do you know many people there? ”—“ Not many peo-ple I know. ”“那里你认识的人多吗?”——“我认识的人不多。” “ Have you made many mistakes in your exercise? ”—“ No , not so many. ”“你在练习里有没有出许多错?”——“不,没多少。” 比较:“ Do you know many people there? ”—“ Not many peo-ple I know. ”“那里你认识的人多吗?”——“我认识的人不多。” “ Do you know many people there? ”—“ I know lots of / a lotof people there. ”“那里你认识的人多吗?”——“那里我认识的人不少。” 1b. 遇到如下情况,前者还是可以用于肯定结构的:第一,用于由 if 或 whether 连接的间接引语;第二,饰有 so 、 too 、 as 和 how 等副词;第三,是修饰主语的。 例如: I wonder whether many people will be at the meeting. 我料不准是否会有许多人到会。(例一) There are too / so many mistakes in your exercise. 在练习里你出了不少错。(例二) You can have as many dictionaries as you want. 你想要多少词典,就有多少。(例二) We know very well how many people will be at the meeting. 我们知道得很清楚,有许多人将要到会。(例二) Many green hands have come to our factory. 有许多生手进了我们工厂。(例三) 1c. 其次,前者要用 so 这个副词来修饰,而后者则要用 such 这个副词来修饰。 比较: There were so many people in the theatre last night. 昨晚上戏院里的人真多。 There were such a lot of people in the theatre last night. 昨晚上戏院里的人真多。 |
