most和most of的区别
most和most of 的区别如下:
1. 若所修饰的名词前没有限定词,通常要用most,不用most of。如:
Most people agree with me.
多数人同意我的意见。
Most cheese is made from cow’s milk.
奶酪大都是用牛奶做的。
但是,在习惯上不带冠词的专有名词(如人名和地名等)或抽象名词(如学科名词等)前,要用most of,不用most。如:
Most of Wales was without electricity last night.
昨天夜里,威尔士多数地区都停电了。
2. 若所修饰的名词前带有限定词,则用most of,不能只用most。如:
Most of my friends live abroad.
我的朋友大多数住在国外。
Most of the people here know each other.
这里大多数人互相认识。
对于可数名词来说,如果是单数形式,不能直接在其前使用most,而应使用“most of+限定词+单数可数名词”的形式。如:
Narrative makes up most of the book.
记叙文占书的大部分。
You’ve got most of the bed as usual.
你跟往常一样占了大半张床。
3. 若直接用在代词之前,要用most of,不用most。如:
Most of us thought he was wrong.
我们大多数人认为他错了。
Most of them probably eat too much meat.
他们大多数人都吃太多的肉了。
注意,在关系代词前也只能用most of,不用most。如:
The buses, most of which were already full, were surrounded by an angry crowd.
公共汽车大多数都已经挤满了人,它们被愤怒的人群包围着。
I have a number of American relatives, most of whom live in Texas.
我有一些美国亲戚,他们大都住在得克萨斯。
另外,在连接代词what引导的从句前也是用most of,不用most。如:
I learned most of what I know about gardening through trial and error.
我的大部分园艺知识都是通过不断摸索学到的。
4. 如果意思明确,most后所修饰的名词可以省略,但most of后所修饰的名词永远不能省略,也就是说,如果是不修饰名词而单独使用,只能用most,不用most of。如:
A few people were killed in the fire, but most were saved.
在那场火灾中,有几个人被烧死,但大部分人都得救了。
Some potatoes have been harvested, but most are still in the ground.
一些土豆已经收获了,但大多数仍然在地里。
5. most (of) …用作主语时,其谓语的数需根据它所修饰或代表的名词的数来确定。如:
Most of her books were stolen.
她的大部分书被偷走了。
Most of her money was stolen.
她的大部分钱被走偷了。
6. most与most of修饰名词时有时在含义上有差别,即前者多表示泛指,后者多表示特指。比较:
Most people like to spend Christmas at home.
多数人喜欢在家里过圣诞节。
Most of the people I know like to spend Christmas at home.
我所认识的人当中,多数人喜欢在家里过圣诞节。
