词组 | amount/number |
释义 | amount/number 【问】 Two waterfalls within the city limits supply Rochester,New York,with an enormous number of electric power. (TOEFL,82.11) 我没有看出句中的错误。请分析。 【答】 虽然an enormous number of与an enormous amount都表示“大量的”,但是前者只能与可数名词连用,而后者只能与不可数名词连用。electric power为不可数名词,所以,必须与anenormous amount连用。the number of与the amount of的区别亦是如此。 1. There were a large number of people there. (Palmer) 那里有很多人。 2. The number of competitors is limited. (Cameron) 竞争者的数目有限。 3. I had not expected such an amount of praise. (Davies) 我没有料到会得到如此之多的赞扬。 4. The amount of lift increases with the speed of the aircraft. (SS) 飞机的升力随着飞行速度的提高而增大。 请做下面的英语试题: 1. The 2. The 赵振才 编著.英语常见问题解答大词典.哈尔滨:黑龙江人民出版社.1998.第83页. |
