它们的区别我知道(๑╹◡╹)ノ""",a great deal of一般用来修饰不可数名词,而 a great number of用来修饰可数名词。这里就给大家总结了一个它们基础知识的表格,可以先简单了解一下先:
了解完它们的基础知识后,现在就来看看它们的具体区别吧ლ(・∀・ )ლ
1、词类不同
a great deal of一般用来修饰不可数名词,而 a great number of用来修饰可数名词。
例句:
① A great deal of work remains to be done.大量的工作尚待完成。
② A great number of books are sold each year.每年销售大量的书籍。
2、观点看待不同
a great deal of更倾向于表示某种程度的多,更偏向于传达一种观点,暗示着很多的意思;而 a great number of则更倾向于表示数量的多,更偏向于表达一种事实。
例句:
① I have a great deal of respect for him.我非常尊敬他。
② A great number of people attended the concert.大量的人参加了音乐会。
3、应用范围不同
a great deal of范围广泛,可以修饰时间、金钱、空间、感情等概念;而 a great number of只能修饰可数名词。
例句:
① I spent a great deal of time preparing for the exam.我花了很多时间准备考试。
② A great number of students have already signed up for the course.已有大量学生报名参加了这门课程。
1)修饰可数名词复数形式的有 many, a good/great many, quite a few, a large
(或great)/small number of等,其后的谓语动词用复数形式。如:
①A great/good many words and expressions have come into the language
from American English. 美国英语中的许多单词和短语进入了这门语言。
②Many have come to visit the old temple. 许多人来是为了看看古庙。
③Quite a few people didn't understand this. Very few would accept it.
有许多人不明白这一点。很少有人愿意接受。
④A great/small number of new factories have been set up in my hometown.
我们家乡建立了许多新的工厂。
▲many和few, a few在句中可作定语、主语,但不能作表语。如只能说I have many/few books, 而不能说 My
books are many/few.
▲very many相当于a great/good many, 在程度上比many要强。
▲a number of修饰主语时,谓语动词用复数形式,the number of…作主语时,谓语动词用单数。如:
⑤A number of students have done the work well. 许多学生作业做得很好。
⑥The number of the students in our school has risen this year.
今年我们学校学生的数量上升了。
句⑤的 A number of作定语修饰主语 students。句⑥的介语短语 of the students in our
school作定语,修饰前面的主语 the number, 表示特指,students 前的冠词the不能省。
2)修饰不可数名词的有much, a great deal of, quite a little, an amount
of等。其后的谓语动词用单数形式。如:
①He has spent much/quite a little/a great deal of/a large amount of
money on his new house. 他在新房子上花费了许多钱。
②Much/A great deal/Quite a little has been done to stop the noise.
已采取了许多措施来制止污染。
▲much, a great deal和 many一样,可作定语或主语,而不能作表语,我们一般说 He has much/a great
deal of money, 而不说 His money is much(或a great deal)。
▲a great deal后面不接名词时,不能用介词of。
3)既能修饰可数名词,又能修饰不可数名词的有 a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a great quantity of等,谓语动词根据主语是可数或不可数决定单复数形式。如:
①There are a lot of/lots of people in that room. 那个房间里有许多人。
②There's a lot of/lots of rice in the bag. 那只口袋里有许多大米。
③They don't have plenty of(=enough)rooms to live in/food to eat.
他们没有足够的房间住/没有足够的食品吃。
1. "a great deal of":这个短语用于指代大量的某件事物,通常是抽象的概念或想法。它通常用于表示重要数量或相当的程度。
例句:“她对艺术史有很多的知识。”
2. "a great number of":这个短语用于指代大量的某些事物,通常是可数的物体或人。它通常用于表示一个庞大的群体或众多的数量。
例句:“有很多游客参观了博物馆。”
总结而言,"a great deal of"用于非具体的、抽象的事物,而"a great number of"用于具体的、可数的物体或人。
"a great deal of"用于修饰不可数名词,表示数量很多。例如:
- A great deal of money was spent on the project.
- A great deal of time was spent on the research.
"a great number of"用于修饰可数名词,表示数量很多。例如:
- A great number of people attended the conference.
- A great number of books were published last year.
因此,"a great deal of"和"a great number of"的区别在于修饰的名词类型不同。需要根据具体语境选择使用哪种表达方式。
1. "a great deal of"通常于表示大量的非可数名词 deal of money"大量的钱)、 "a great deal of time"大量的时间)。它强调数量上的多。
2. " great number of"常用于表示大量的可数名词,如"a great number books"(大量的籍),"a great number of people"(大量的人)。它调上的多。
要注意的是,然个短语的意思上有些区,但在大多情况它们是可以互换使用的。例如,你可以说 great deal of"或者"a great number of books"都表示大书籍。
