词语用法

adj. (形容词)

1. many用作形容词时后接复数名词,表示许多同样的人或物(但数目不明确),用作主语时,其谓语动词要用复数形式。常用于否定句中。
2. many可用来强调more,可用too, so, how等修饰。
3. many多用作定语,只有在对比结构中,可用作表语,往往含有“虽然多”或“确实多”的意思。
4. many a的意思是“许多”,与“单数名词+单数动词”连用。当其修饰宾语时,宾语常置于句首,且主谓倒装。

pron. (代词)

1. many用作代词时,作“许多,许多人”解,常用于many of...结构中,谓语动词须用复数。
2. many或a good〔great〕 many用作主语时,其谓语动词用复数。
3. 在英语口语中, many通常用于否定句、疑问句中。在肯定句中many多用于正式文体,相当于口语中的a lot of或lots of。另外,当其单独作主语或宾语,含有对比意味时,当其充当名词词组中心,只带有后置定语时或当其前面常有as, so, too, very, a good, a great等词或词组时, many也用于肯定句中。

词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

many, a great deal of, a lot of, 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。
• 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。
