下面是丁丁老师的分类结论,看看你与老师的结论吻合不吻合?

一、④和⑤:many more 复数可数名词,more是限定词,many也是限定词,均修饰后面的复数名词。

二、①和②中的many more承前省掉了people;③中的many more承前省掉了problems。many是限定词,more是代词。

三、⑥much修饰形容词比较级more confident,much是副词。

四、⑦和⑨:much more 不可数名词,more是限定词,much也是限定词,分别修饰后面的不可数名词fun和crude oil。

五、⑧中的more是不定代词,作understand的宾语,much是限定词,修饰more。⑩中的more也是不定代词,作done的宾语,much是限定词,修饰more。

千万别说整这些东西没有用!我们学英语不仅仅只是为了考试,而是要学correct,standard and authentic英语!这样吧,丁丁老师请你翻译一句简单的汉语:我的书房的书比你的多好多!

我的译文是

I have many/a lot/plenty more books in my library than you do in yours.

或者是

There are many/a lot/plenty more books in my library than in yours.

或者是

I have a much larger collection of books than you(do)in my study.

……。

你做对了吗?

不少朋友说,修饰比较级的程度常常用far, much, still, a lot , a little, a bit, rather, slightly, three times,怎么又钻出来一个many呢?不仅同学们有这样的疑问,我国出版的语法著作不少也不把many包括在比较级的修饰语范围内,甚至有人著文说这种用法是错误的。但在A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language(即Quirk等人编写的《英语语法大全》(CGEL)527页(英文版386页)是这样说的:

在比较不同的总数和总量时,独立形式的many/much和a few/a little可以用在比较级more,fewer和less的前面:

Michael Swan在Practical English Usage一书的169页(第二版翻译本)说:

在more修饰复数名词时,用many来修饰,不用much,试比较:

much/far/a lot/etc more money

many/far/a lot /etc more opportunities

下面我们再看几个句子:

[1] We began to see many more people, but I wasn’t surprised.(04人教新课标版必修一59页)我们开始看到更多的人,但我并不感到惊讶。

此句中的more是many的比较级,做people的定语,而它前面的many则是比较级的修饰语。注意是many more,而不是much more。当然many可以换做a lot,far或plenty。

[2] In 1940 the civil authorities reformed the system so thatmany more Chinese people were able to grasp the opportunity of settling in the USA. (04人教新课标选修八8页) 1940年,民政局改革了这一制度,使更多的中国人能够抓住在美国定居的机会。

[3] Since the 1980s a lot more have settled there. (04人教新课标选修八3页) 自20世纪80年代以来,有更多的人定居在那里。

[4] There’ll be a lot more people here in about five year’s time. (81年版人教版高一118页)五年后这儿将聚集更多的人。

[5] A delivery man can carry many more plastic containersthan containers made of wood or glass.(赵振才英语常见问题解答大辞典809页)送货员拿塑料容器要比拿木质或玻璃容器多的多。

[6] There are many more people looking for jobs than finding them every summer.(赵振才英语常见问题解答大辞典809页)每年夏天找工作的人比找到工作的人多的多。
