The audience of this artice is experts 还是The audience are experts?
分析文章时需要分析audience,这是泛指,应该不用不用加s吧?
英语中到底有没有这种规则,就是主语和be动词后面的宾语(这里指主语的具体化)必须单复数统一?
我是觉得应该用is.
这样的类似疑问我还有很多,例如The majority of the meet is/(还是are?) experts.
1.表示“听众”、“观众”,是集合名词,
用作主语时,其谓语可用单数(视为整体时)或复数(视为个体时).
如:The audience is [are]listening attentively.听众都在聚精会神地听着.
The audience was [were] enjoying every minute of the performance.观众对演出非常欣赏.
有时由于语义的需要,分别用单数或复数更合适.
如:The audience was enormous.观众人很多.T
he audience are requested to be in their seats by 8:00.观众要在八点前都入座.
2.英语中到底有没有这种规则,就是主语和be动词后面的宾语(这里指主语的具体化)必须单复数统一?
有.这就是所谓的“主语系动词表语一致”.
What he bought were the books,the pens and some boxes.(用were不用was)
Who is your brother?
Who are your brothers?
但也有不一致的
We Chinese are a hard working people.(我们中国人是一个勤劳的民族)
The most important thing is the books.
怎么办?
得看句子意义,结构,强调决定的.
至于the majority后的单复数,
the majority表示“大多数”时,为集合名词;单独用作主语时,如果强调整体,谓语动词用单数形式;如果强调个体,谓语动词用复数形式.如:
  The majority agree [agrees] with me. 大多数人同意我的意见.
  The majority was [were] in favour of the proposal. 多数人赞成这个建议.
  但是若单独用的 the majority后跟有复数表语,则谓语通常要用复数.如:
  The majority are young people. 大多数是年轻人
按传统语法,the majority of只用于修饰可数名词复数或具有复数意义的集合名词,但在现代英语中也可用于修饰不可数名词.
