we were amazed to see _ people waiting in line at Mary's.空格处答案是a nunbei if,但是为什么不能填a great deal of,大量的人不是更符合amazed嘛?
“大量”短语
a great deal可单独使用,也可以用在形容词或副词的比较级前,表示“大量;许多”;而a great deal of只能用在不可数名词前,表示“大量的”.如:
We learned a great deal from them.
我们从他们那里学到很多东西.
He ran a great deal faster than I.他跑得比我快多了.
He has given me a great deal of help.他给了我很多帮助.
[拓展] 英语中有很多短语表示“大量;许多”,根据性质可分为以下三类:
★ 修饰可数名词的有:a good / great many,a large / great number of,scores of等,谓语动词用复数形式.如:
A great / good many words and expressions have come into the language from American English.
这门语言吸收了美国英语中的许多单词和短语.
There were scores of boxes,all waiting to be checked and loaded.大批的箱子等着检验后装运.
★ 修饰不可数名词的有:a large amount of等,谓语动词用单数形式.如:
He has spent a large amount of money on his new house.
他在新房子上花费了许多钱.
★ 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等,谓语动词根据被修饰的名词是可数还是不可数来决定单复数形式.如:
There are a lot of / lots of people in that room.
那个房间里有许多人.
There’s a lot of / lots of rice in the bag.
那只口袋里有许多大米.
There are plenty of eggs in the fridge.
冰箱里有足够的鸡蛋.
Don’t worry about it.We have plenty of time.
不要着急,我们有充裕的时间.
