| 词组 | alot, a lot |
| 释义 | alot, a lot A lot is apparently often written as one word—perhaps by people in a hurry—for we have an even dozen handbooks reminding their readers to write it as two words, and presumably there are others. Two words is the accepted norm: • Each of these writers had plainly worried about my Nat Turner a lot —William Styron, This Quiet Dust and Other Writings, 1982 • The Kremlin must be a lot like this —Jay Mclnerney, Bright Lights, Big City, 1984 Our evidence for the one-word spelling alot comes mostly from memos, drafts, private letters. It occasionally sees the light of day in newspapers where proofreading has not been careful enough: • "When I was in junior, I was on the power-play alot," Turgeon said —Morning Union (Springfield, Mass.), 3 Nov. 1983 See also lots, a lot. aloud See out loud. already See all ready, already. |
