2020年军队职称英语考试：理工类必备词组修饰可数、不可数名词

　既可修饰可数名词 也可修饰不可数名词

　　a lot of / lots of

　　plenty of (time, money, people)

　　修饰不可数名词

　　(a) little / less / least

　　much / more / most

　　a great (good) deal of

　　an amount of / amounts of

　　the amount of

　　量词使用中应注意的几个问题：

　　1) 分清可数名词和不可数名词是前提;

　　2) 不要把量词的形式搞混淆了：下面哪个表达形式是对的?

　　A. A lot students have come back from the summer holiday.

　　B. A few of the students have come back from the summer holiday.

　　C. A great many of students have come back from the summer holiday.

　　D. Many a student has have come back from the summer holiday.

　　E. The number of students have come back from the summer holiday.

　　F. A number of students have come back from the summer holiday.

　　以上六个表达方式中只有F 是对的。为什么?

　　A. a lot students → a lot of students

　　B. a few of the students → a few students

　　C. a great many of students → a great many students

　　D. Many a student has come back from the summer holiday.

　　E. The number of 表示数目，如：The number of the students in our class is 50.

　　A number of 表示"一些"，"不少"，认真对比一下，看出问题来了吗?

　　问多少钱、多少重量时用：How much…?问距离时用：How far is it from…to…?

　　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
