1、外教一对一 http:/Many和Much的用法区别1. 两者都表示“许多”,但 many 修饰或代替可数名词(复数),与 few(少数)相对;而 much 用来修饰或代替不可数名词(单数),与little(少量)相对。如:Did you see many people there?你在那儿看见许多人了吗?Many poets have died young.许多诗人很年轻就死了。Do you have much money left?你剩的钱多吗?He doesnt spend much time preparing his lessons.他备课不花太多时间。2. 关于many of 和
2、much of:(1) 其后接名词时,该名词通常应是特指的(比如有the, these, those, my, our, Toms等修饰)。如:Many of the farmers grow rice.很多农民种稻子。Many of his ideas were amusing to her.他的许多想法使她感到有趣。He spends much of his time outdoors.他很多时间都在户外度过。Much of the land was flooded.大片土地被水淹没。(2) 如果名词没有表特指的限定词,通常就不用of。Many和Much的用法区别如:误:She didnt
3、 eat much of breakfast.正:She didnt eat much breakfast.她没有吃多少早餐。误:There arent many of large glasses left.正:There arent many large glasses left.大玻璃杯剩下的不多了。(3) 如果用了介词of又没有特指限定词,通常是不可以的。如:误:Many of students have read it.正:Many of the students have read it.许多学生读过它。误:Much of time was wasted.正:Much of the
4、time was wasted.大部分时间都浪费了。(4) 在少数情况下,much of之后不跟限定词也可以用,这主要见后接人名和地名的情形。如:Not much of Denmark is hilly.丹麦山地不多。Ive seen too much of Howard recently.最近我见霍华德见得太多了。(5) 在人称代词前总是用many of或much of,其中的of不能没有。如:I didnt eat much of it.这个我没吃多少。Many of us were too tired to go further.我们很多人都累得不能再往前走了。(6) much of有时
5、可用于一个还有不定冠词的名词前。如:You cant see much of a country in a week.一周之内看一个国家看不了多少地方。How much of a job would it be to rebuild the garage?重建这个车库工作量会是多少?not much of a 有时可用于名词前表示某人对某物或某人评价不高。如:Then hes not much of a partner.那时他不是什么了不起的合伙人。That might not seem like much of an accomplishment.那似乎算不上什么成就。3. 两者都可与 mo
6、re 连用,其区别仍然是 many more之后接复数名词,much more 之后接不可数名词。如:There have been many more burglaries this year.今年盗窃案比过去多好些。His car cost much more money than mine.他的小汽车所花的钱比我的多得多。有时其后的名词可承前省略。如:Many people support the government, but many more are against it.许多人支持政府,但更多得多的人反对它。另外,其后修饰的不是名词,而是形容词或副词,则用much more,不用
7、many more。如:You must work much more carefully.你应工作得更加细心。Politics is much more difficult than physics.政治学比物理学难。4. 注意“many a+单数可数名词”的用法:形式上为单数,但意义上为复数(意为“许多”),若用作主语,其谓语通常与形式一致而不与意义一致(即谓语用单数)。如:I have told him many a time to be polite.我多次告诉他要有礼貌。Many a young man has tried and failed.很多年轻人都试过,而且失败了。注意,“
8、many a+单数名词”是一个十分正式的结构,在口语或非正式文体中一般都用 “many+复数名词”代之。5. 与a great good number of, a great good amount of等表达不同,a great good many后接名词时,不用介词of。如:Ive known her for a great many years.我认识她好多年了。A great many people were at the meeting.很多人参加了会。但是,当其后接的是人称代词或带有限定词的名词时,则要有of。如:A good many of them have cars.他们中的许多人有汽车。A great many of the trees were destroyed in the storm.这次暴风雨毁了许多树。 文章来源:
