词义辨析

n. (名词)

a number of, the number of

• 两者意思不同:a number of的意思是“许多”,相当于many; the number of的意思是“数目”,不能作修饰语。

a number of, an amount of

• 这两个词都表示“数量”。其区别在于:前者表示“数”,与复数名词或代词连用; 而后者表示“量”,与不可数名词连用。例如:
• A small number of people believe in ghosts.只有少数人相信有鬼。
• A large amount of money was spent on books.一大笔钱花在了购买图书上。

a number of, a great deal of, a lot of, lots of, many, 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。
• A lot of friends are thinking of emigrating.许多朋友正在考虑移民国外。
• There are lots of antiques shops in Australia now.现在澳大利亚有许许多多的古玩店。
• She's earned a great deal of money in the last few weeks.在最近几个星期内,她挣了大量的钱。

a number of, a part of

• 这两个短语的用法不同：前者可跟可数名词或不可数名词,而后者只可跟复数可数名词。例如:
• A part of the students in our class are from the countryside.我们班有一部分学生来自农村。
• A part of the milk in the bottle has been drunk.瓶中的牛奶有一部分已经喝了。
• A large number of workers are out of work.大量的工人都失业了。

number, aggregate, amount, quantity, sum, total, whole

• 这组词的共同意思是“总数、总合”。其区别是：
• aggregate指把数目的各个部分加在一起；amount指累积的结果；number指数字或东西相加所得的总数；sum指最后的总结果，表示截至现在的总数, 还有增加的可能；total和whole都指合计的结果的全体，total常指大的数量，whole也含有各部分总和的意味。quantity主要表示物质的量。
• adj.
• ［' ɡrIɡət］

下面三个短语意思不同:

• by number
• 以数字
• by numbers
• 以数量众多
• by the numbers
• 合拍地

v. (动词)

number, calculate, count, reckon

• 这组词都有“数”“计算”的意思,尤其是count和reckon在很多情况下可互换,它们之间的区别是:
• 1.count的含义是“数数目”; reckon则侧重“计算”。例如:
• I counted the broken windows and found there were eight.
• 我数了数破损的窗户,共有八个。
• We'll have to reckon the cost of it.
• 我们得计算它的成本。
• 2.count和reckon都有“认为”之义,但reckon则更侧重于“推定”“公认”,指对事件全面权衡。例如:
• Because our family is happy and healthy, we reckon ourselves fortunate.我们很幸运,因为我们的家庭是一个健康、幸福的家庭。
• 3.calculate作“计算,核算”解时,指通过较复杂的过程,如:算术上的加减乘除或精密计算等。例如:
• Can you calculate how much a trip to the Great Wall will cost?你能计算去长城旅游一次要多少钱吗?
• 4.count和reckon多用于口语或日常生活; calculate多用于自然科学、生产部门或需要专门计算的场合。例如:
• Astronomers can calculate when there will be eclipses of the sun and the moon.天文学家能算出什么时候有日食、月食。
• 5.count既可用作动词,也可用作名词；而calculate和reckon只能用作动词。
• 6.number侧重“编号”。

quantity，amount，number，sum

• 这些名词均有“总数、总量”之意。
• quantity书面用词，指事物的总量和总数量，侧重大批计量，含准确测量的意味。
• amount普通用词，与quantity近义，但强调整体，指把所有数量、重量及度量归并在一起得出的总数。
• number普通用词，指人或物的数目，强调数的概念。
• sum普通用词，指简单加算的结果。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 学生的总体数量在增加。

   误 Students are increasing in their number.

   正 Students are increasing in number.

   析 in number表示在“总体上”, in与number之间不需加任何限定词。

2. 阿拉伯数字与罗马数字在书写上有区别。

   误 The Arabic numbers are different from the Roman numbers in writing.

   正 The Arabic numerals are different from the Roman numerals in writing.

   析 number表示数字,如1,2,3等; 而numeral表示某种数字的符号,如罗马数字的Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ等。

3. 车站上有许多人。

   误 There is a large number of people at the station.

   正 There are a large number of people at the station.

   析 “the number of+复数名词”意为“…的数目”,当这一结构作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。“a number of+复数名词”相当于“many〔some〕+复数名词”,当这一结构作主语时,谓语动词通常用复数形式。

4. 所需货币的数量与日俱增。

   误 The number of money needed became larger everyday.

   正 The amount of money needed became larger everyday.

   析 the amount of与不可数名词连用, the number of与可数名词连用。
