09年泰安市英语中考题木
It is reported that () people in the world are suffering from the H1N1 flu.
A seceral thousands of B thousands of C several thousand D肯定不对了
答案是B为何啊？我感觉三个都可以的
A several thousands of B thousands of C several thousand

Answer 1

固定用法，表示成千上万时，用

thousands of 。。

同理表示成百上千时。用：

hundreds of

Answer 2

thousand的用法
1.数字或seceral等表示”几“的词加thousand的原型，再加可数名词。
2.thousands of加可数名词，表示成千上万

Answer 3

几千several thousand要有of 如several thousand of visitors数千名来访者
several thousands of没有这种用法的
thousands of 数千的，数以千计，才是正确的用法。

Answer 4

thousands of是固定短语，成千上万的。几千可以说成several thousand,没有several thousands of.
至于 seceral thousands of中 seceral 我就不知道是什么意思了，是不是你打错了石several
