◆number n.

 

1. 表示“号码”,可缩略为 No. (有时可省略不必),这类结构通常不用冠词:Room (number) 105(第105号房),Bus (No. ) 16 16 ( 路公共汽车),question number 4 (第四个问题),live at (No. ) 35 York Rd, London(住在伦敦约克路35号)等

注:这类构造有时可放在名词前作定语。如:No. 17 Platform (第17号站台),No. 1 Middle School(第一中学) 等 CopyRight .com

有时可用两类表白。如:Platform No. 16 或 No. 16 Platform (16号站台)

 

 

有时可能用冠词,英语,主要见于用于名词前作定语,且 number 未缩写时。如:a number 9 shoe (9号鞋),a number 25 bus (25路公共汽车),the Number 10 trolley bus(10路电车) 等

 

 

2. 表现“数目”或“数量”,要留神差异:a number of 跟 the number of, 前者意为“很多”、“若干”等,number 前可用 good, great, large, small 等词修饰,其后必须接可数名词复数情势,用作主语时,谓语动词也用复数;后者意为“……的数量”,其后也接可数名词的复数形式或存在复数意思的名词,用作主语时,谓语要用单数。如:

◆object v.

CopyRight .com

 

用作及物或不迭物动词,不仅意思上有差别,而且在结构用法上也有不少需注意之处:若用作不迭物动词,意为“反对”,若需带宾语,须后接介词 to;若用作及物动词,其后通常只能接 that从句作宾语,而不接名词或代词等简单宾语,并且此时 object 的意思不是“反对”,而是“提出……作为反对的理由”。比较以下例子:
