“many”and “much”(多少)
学生经常混有混淆“
many”
and “
much” 这两个词。
“
many” 用来修饰可数名词,如 “
pieces of chalk,
erasers,
desks,
bowls of salad,
dollars,
books,
people,
apples”等等。而 “
much” 是用来修饰不可数名词的,如“
chalk,
mud,
salad,
money,
knowledge,
time,
food”等等。请看下面的例子:
Students often confuse the words “
many”
and “
much”. “
Many”
is used to talk about things that can be counted,
such as pieces of chalk,
erasers,
desks,
bowls of salad,
dollars,
books,
people,
apples,
and things. “
Much”,
on the other hand,
is used to describe things that cannot be counted,
such as Chalk,
mud,
salad,
money,
knowledge,
time,
and food.
Let`
s look at some examples:
“
There are many people is the gymnasium.”
“
There is much space in the gymnasium.”
“
The campus has much buildings.”
“
The campus has much plant life.”
有时, 我们也常用更口语化的短语来表达 “
many”
and “
much”,
比如 “
a lot of”, 或 “
lots of”.例:
Often,
however,
we change both “
many”
and “
much”
to a more colloquial phrase,
such as“
a lot of”,
or “
lots of”.
For example:
“
I can learn a lot of knowledge from my teachers.”
(“
A lot of”
here replaces “
much”. “
A lot of” 在句子里相当于 “
much”.)
“
I saw lots of horses in Inner Mongolia.”
(“
Lots of”
here replaces “
many”. “
Lots of”在这里相当于
many.)
然而, 在固定词组“
how much”和“
how many” 中, 我们不能用其他任何词来带替“
many” 和“
much”。例:
However,
in the set phrases “
how much”
and “
how many”
we cannot replace “
many”
and “
much”
with other words.
For example:
“
How much does this stuffed animal cost?”
“
It costs a lot of money.”
“
How much food did you make for dinner?”
“
I made lots of food.
I made pizza,
baked chicken,
and some banana bread.”
“
How many desks are there in the classroom?”
There are lots.
I can count forty-
eight.”
“
How many people are there in the country of Indonesia?”
“
I`
m not sure,
but I know there are lots.”
- or- “I` m not sure, but I know there are many.”
