amount的用法详解.doc

amount的用法详解1. amount用作名词其意为“数量”、“金额”等，通常用于 a (great, large) amount of 这类结构，其后通常接不可数名词。如：He made a large amount of money. 他赚了大量的钱。They have to process a large amount of data. 他们得处理大量数据。I had not expected such an amount of praise. 我没料到受到这么多赞扬。A large amount of damage was done in a short time. 短期内造成大量损害。I had not expected such an amount of praise. 我没料想受到这样多的赞扬。He must memorize large amounts of material. 他必须背熟大量材料。注意：这类结构用作主语，其谓语的数取决于 amount 的数。如：在这座桥上花了大量资金。正: A large amount of money was spent on the bridge. 正: Large amounts of money were spent on the bridge. 比较：在 a great number of 之后通常接可数名词(用复数)。如：2. amount用作动词用作动词时意为“合计”、“等于”、“意味着”，通常是不及物动词，其后常接介词 to。如：Building cost amounts to six million dollars. 建筑费用达600 万元。Her reply amounts to a refusal. 她的回答等于拒绝。注意：由于其后接的to为介词，所以后接动词时，该动词要用动名词。如：这等于是欺骗老师。(from )误：This amounts to cheat the teacher.正：This amounts to cheating the teacher.析：amount 用作动词，表示“等于”，是不及物动词，其后接的to 为介词。no amount of 英 加入生词本 手机上查词 基本释义 英英释义 更多资料 1.怎么(再多)也不 1.怎么(再多)也不 相关搜索 句库 韦氏词典 Dictionary nlsfunc no amount policy 创建者：词友 编辑 添加 有奖指正 网络释义以下结果来自互联网 1. 表示再多的吗 相关问题 添加到搜藏已解决.no amount of 表示再多的吗？.悬赏分：0 - 解决时间：2008-9-7 22:15 - 相关搜索 2. 咖啡没有用 no amount of 咖啡没有用.no amount of crying 哭泣没有用 - 相关搜索 3. 一事无成 一事无成not amount to anything.一事无成no amount of.怎么(再多)也.不a large amount - 相关搜索 4. 再怎么多的也不 8. cut-throat残酷的，无情的；cut-throat competition激烈的竞争.9. no amount of 再怎么多的也不.10. solid可靠的，有说服力的 - 相关搜索 no quantity of任何数量的单词quantity的用法 浏览次数：2706次悬赏分：50 | 解决时间：2011-4-12 00:29 | 提问者：小乖945yeah a quantity of后加可数名词用什么谓语动词？a quantity of后加不可数名词用什么谓语动词？quantities of后加可数名词用什么谓语动词？quantities of后加不可数名词用什么谓语动词？需要准确的，越准确越好。有字典的最好给个例句，谢谢！还有，这个选择题：Its a pity that large quantities of wood _that way all over the world.has been wasted 还是have been wasted，还是 has wasted ，have wasted谢谢！问题补充： 经过我搜索，发现百度知道有类似问题，举例丰富，包括China Daily的文章。问题题目：“a large quantity of+可数名词复数 后面的谓语动词用单数还是复数”，大家可以看看最佳答案。结论是：a quantity of 后接谓语动词与名词一致quantities of 后接谓语动词都用复数。这和我们郑州外国语的老师讲的一样。我以前的笔记记录有。问过好多同学，答案都不同。等这次考试后我再来更新。这个老师说单数复数跟quantity 一致。郁闷了。最佳答案 答：该问题主要涉及的知识点为：quantity 与后面谓语动词单、复数搭配(即主谓一致)。但是关于quantity 与谓语单复数搭配，现在说法不统一。主要有两种观点：1、与词形保持一致a quantity of /quantities of 不管后面接复数还是单数(包括不可数)名词，只看quantity 本身。即：a quantity of 中的quantity 是单数，谓语动词就用单数；quantities of 中quantities 是复数，谓语动词则与复数保持一致。例如：Quantities of nuts were on the table. A quantity of nuts was on the table. 2、与意义保持一致这种观点认为，不应该看a quantity of / quantities of 本身，而应该看这个词组后面所接的是什么名词，如果后面的名词是单数(或不可数)，则谓语用单数；如果名词是复数，那么谓语用复数。这一点与a lot of 相同，即遵循意义一致原则。例如：There is only a small quantity of wine left. Great quantities of sand was washed down the hillside by the rain last night. A large quantity of air conditions have been sold since the summer came. Huge quantities of oil were shipped to Japan last year. 结论：目前，比较倾向于与quantity 的词形保持一致，即 a quantity of 是单数，quantities of 是复数，而不管后面接单数或复数的名词。例如，某省一道高考题如下：With many forests being destroyed, huge quantities of good earth _ each year. A. is washing away B. is being washed away C. are washing away D. are being washed away它所给的答案是D. 此题中，earth 是不可数名词，但quantities 是复数，所以谓语采用了复数形式D.还有，这个选择题：Its a pity that large quantities of wood _that way all over the world.has been wasted 还是have been wasted，还是 has wasted ，have wasted用have been wasted，分析：quantities是复数形式，所以have，wood 是被浪费的，要用被动语态。谁能帮我解决关于quantity和amount的问题？Large quantities of money are spent on the subject.这个句子中要以quantities为中心词,所以用are,如果quantities换成amounts,也把amounts看做中心词吗?像这些表数量的词的短语有哪些像quantity一样后面谓语动词由它的形式决定单复数,而不是以加的可数或不可数名词来决定? 中原师892009-02-16 19:39:34 发布外语 英语 外语 1个回答 回答 ejuj | 2009-02-16 19:43:59 有0人认为这个回答不错 | 有0人认为这个回答没有帮助 a large number of 修饰可数名词复数, singular verb a large amount of 修饰不可数名词, plural verb a great deal of 修饰不可数名词, plural verb a large sum of 修饰不可数名词, plural verb 还有，英语多用 a great deal of ，而不是a large deal of 。 首先要搞清楚，是修饰可数名词或不可数名词，而不是单数或复数名词。可数名词都有复数形式，而不可数名词没有复数形式。 a large deal of、a plenty of和a good supply of 在多数情况下修饰不可数名词，如：a plenty of water, a geat deal of time，不过它们也可以修饰可数名词，如a plenty of men。 a quantity of在多数情况下修饰可数名词，如a quantity of boxes, 不过也可修饰不可数名词，如a quantity of milk。 quantities of与上述的一样 一、只能修饰可数名词的词语有: many, many a(n), a good / great many, a (great / large) number of, scores of, dozens of等。例如: Scores of people went there in the first few days after its opening. 开张后的头几天,很多人去了那儿。 I have been there dozens of times. 我已去过那儿很多次了。 Therere a number of students reading English in the classroom. 教室里有许多学生在读英语。 Many a student has(=many students have)visited the Great Wall.(谓语动词用单数) 很多学生都游览过长城。 In winter, a good many animals sleep under the snow. 冬天很多动物在雪下冬眠。 注意: many所修饰的复数名词前若有限定词,many 后面要接of, 表示“中的很多”。 例如: A great many(of the) graduates have found jobs. 毕业生中很多人已经找到了工作。 二、只能修饰不可数名词的词语有: much, a great deal of, a great / large amount of等。例如: Is there much water in the bucket? 桶里有很多水吗? He always has a great amount of work to do. 他总是有很多工作要做。 三、既能修饰可数名词又能修饰不可数名词的词语有: a lot of, lots of, plenty of (以上三个词语后谓语动词的数依of 后的名词的单复数而定),a great / large quantity of (其后谓语用单数),quantities of (其后谓语用复数)。例如: There is still lots of snow in the garden. 花园里还有许多雪。 There is plenty of rain here. 这儿的雨水很多。 A great quantity of flowers was placed in the hall. 大厅里放了很多鲜花。 There are large quantities of food in the cupboard. 橱柜里有许多食物。 在所有这些表示“很多”的词语中many, much 是最常用的词,它们既可以用于肯定句,也可以用于疑问句和否定句。例如: Are there many people in the street? 街上有很多人吗? There isnt much time left. 剩下的时间不多了。 其它的词语都用于肯定句,日常会话中常用lots of, a lot of
