關(guān)閉窗口 名詞的常用修飾語
有these, those, few, a few, many, a good [great] many, a great [good] number of 等：
Few people would agree with this. 很少人會同意這種看法。
He has a great many friends here. 他在這兒有很多朋友。
【注】a good [great] many 后直接跟名詞，不用介詞of。但是，若其后所接名詞有the, these, my 等限定詞修飾，則要用介詞of：a great many of my friends 我的朋友當(dāng)中的許多人
有this, that, little, a little, a bit of, much, a great deal of, a large amount of 等：
I have little time to do it. 我沒什么時間來做此事。
He didn’t give me much money. 他沒給我很多錢。
A great deal of money is spent on research. 研究工作上花了許多錢。
【注】在現(xiàn)代英語中，a great amount of 后有時也接可數(shù)名詞，但有許多語法學(xué)家反對，學(xué)生最好避免使用。
有些修飾語既可修飾可數(shù)名詞也可修飾不可數(shù)名詞，如all, some, enough, a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a (large) quantity of 等：
You needn’t hurry. There’s plenty of time. 你不必著急。時間多著哩。
There are plenty of men out of work. 失業(yè)的人很多。
We need a quantity of baskets. 我們需要一批籃子。
He put a small quantity of sugar in the milk. 他在牛奶中放了少量的糖。
四、易錯說明
有些名詞形式上是復(fù)數(shù)，但卻被用作不可數(shù)名詞，使用much, little等修飾語：
He hasn’t got much brains. 他沒什么頭腦。(from m.52ysedu.com)
He took much pains to do the work. 他費了不少心做這工作。
I said I wouldn’t want much wages. 我說過我不要很多工資。
It's high time you were taught a little manners. 該是你學(xué)一點禮貌的時候了。
