词义辨析

n. (名词)

a lot of, a great deal of, many, a number of, lots of, many a, much

• 这组词(组)都表示“许多”的意思。其区别在于:many是普通用语,其后只能接可数名词复数; many a是书面用语,后接单数可数名词,当修饰主语时谓语动词要用单数形式; much是普通用语,是对量和程度而言的,只能修饰不可数名词; a number of可用来修可数名词复数; a lot of和lots of既可接可数名词,也可接不可数名词,多用于肯定句。a great deal of后接不可数名词,谓语动词用单数,且常用于肯定句中。例如:
• Man and the ape have many things in common.人和猿有许多共同之处。
• Many a man comes or goes.一个又一个的人来来去去。
• A number of people came to the meeting from all over the world.来自世界各地的许多人参加了这次会议。
