9、单位词的使用
(1) 不可数名词表示多少,一般用much, (a) little, a lot of, enough 等词表达,要数1,2,3,4…时要用"量词"表达,最常用的是a piece of (news, advice, furniture, information…)。
(2) 成双成对的名词一般用复数,如:a pair of trousers (裤子) / scissors(剪刀) / glasses (spectacles)(眼镜) / pliers(钳子)
(3) a couple of表示一对,或2-3…,如:a couple of days / people / things
(4) 记住以下量词表达方式:
a loaf (two loafs) of bread (一个(两个)面包)
a burst of laughter(一阵笑声)
a fit of anger / chill(一阵发怒 / 发冷)
a game of chess (一盘棋)
a lump of sugar (一块方糖)
10、其他应注意的数的表达形式
1)a three-year-old boy 比较The boy is three years old
2) five thousand people / several thousand people比较 thousands of people
表达具体数字时,thousand不加 "s",后面不加 "of "; ten, million, billion情况以此类推。
3) One-third of the students have passed College English Test Band IV.
Two-thirds of the students have passed College English Test Band IV.
One-third of the population in this area is living below the poverty line.
(这个地区有1/3人口生活在贫困线以下。)
注意:几分之几的表达形式;动词的单复数由后面的名词数决定。
4) a looker-on 比较two lookers-on(旁观者) / a brother-in-law比较two brothers-in-law(姻亲兄弟)
5) my father, together with (along with / with / as well as my mother and brothers) 结构中,主语作单数处理,即my father
11、不定代词的数
英语中要对 "2 "这个数特别敏感:
1) 两个中一个、另一个: one , the other; 三个或三个以上中另一个:another / any one
2) 两个都:both; 两个都不:neither; 两个中任一个:either
3) 三个或三个以上都:all; 都不:none
4) 不知总数:一些:some ;另一些:others(有余数)
5) 知道总数:一些:some ; 另一些 (没有余数了):the others
注意以下表达方式:each other / one another / one after another / one by one / the other day (过去的某一天)/ some day (今后的某一天) / every other day (隔天)/ on alternative days(隔天)/ someone else (别人) / something (anything, nothing) else (别的事)
实例:
I'm sorry, I'm a stranger, too. You may ask ______ across the street.
A. another one
B. others
C. the other one
D. someone else
解题思路:虽然A、B、C没有语法错误,但D是习惯表达方式。
