several many 與hundred組合用法

1、-作者xxxx-日期xxxxseveral many 與hundred組合用法【精品文檔】我對hundred, thousand和million三詞用法的困惑 我們先看看幾道中考試題：1. Many _ trees should be planted on the mountains. （2007年山東青島）B.thousand of C. thousands D.thousands of 答案：D2.

2、03年江蘇鹽城)A. hundred ofB. hundreds forC. hundred 答案：C3. Beijing is a beautiful city. And _ foreigh friends come to visit Beijing every month.(2010年貴州銅仁中考樣卷)A.many thousand of B. several thousands C. two thousands D.thousands of答案：D大家知道，中考在考查學生數(shù)詞的用法時，hundred, thousand和million三詞用法是考查熱點。我們都知道當它們前面有具體的數(shù)詞修

3、飾時，hundred, thousand和million不能加-s, 當它們后面接of時，它們必須加-s. 不管哪種情況，它們都是直接接名詞，名詞前不能有限定詞。但是，如果hundred, thousand和million前面有many和several等不確定的數(shù)修飾時，該如何表達呢？通過上面三題的參考答案，我們可以得出這么一個結論：many是個概數(shù)，可以組成many(hundreds, thousands, millions)of +名詞復數(shù)；several相當于一個具體的數(shù)字，組成several(hundred, thousand, million)+名詞復數(shù)。然而，筆者查閱了大量資料，似

5、應該選A才對。第三種說法：（大學英語語法講座與測試）P42Note: 當hundred of,thousand of,million of被a few,some,several,many等表示不確定的數(shù)的詞修飾時，用單數(shù)形式或復數(shù)形式均可。例如： Several hundred(s) of workers attended the meeting. Some thousand(s) of soldiers were sent there. Many million(s) of birds fly to the south in winter. 比較下面兩句： She earned several hundred(thousand).(用單數(shù)) She earned some(many) hundreds(thousands).（用復數(shù)）照這種說法，上面第一題B,D都對；第二題A,C都對；第三題A,B,D都對。第四種說法：（全國英語等級考試教材第二級）“當hundred, thousand和million等詞前面有約數(shù)many或s
