dozen, score, hundred, thousand, million用法指要

ing-bottom: 66.41%;">dozen, score, hundred, thousand, million的用法

请先看一道题:

I want three ________ these eggs.

A. dozen B. dozens C. dozen of D. dozens of

此题涉及两个方面的问题:一是 dozen 是否加词尾-s,二是其后是否接介词 of。由于在这个问题上dozen与score,hundred,thousand,million极为相似,所以这里将它们放在一起叙述:

  1. 当这些不与具体数字连用,而是表示不确定的泛指数,则不仅要用复数形式,而且要后接介词 of,然后才能后接名词

thousands of students 数千名学生

dozens of times 几十次

millions of years ago 数百万年前

  2. 当这些词与具体数字连用时,不用复数形式,也不后接介词of(尽管有人认为 score / dozen 之后可以有时可接 of,但惯用法认为,省略 of 则常见):

three hundred students 300名学生

three score (of) eggs 60只鸡蛋

  3. 当这些词与 a few,several,many 等数目不很具体的词连用时,用不用复数形式均可,但是注意:不用复数形式,其后的介词of可以省略;用复数形式,其后介词 of不能省略:

several dozen (of) pencils / several dozens of pencils几打铅笔

  4. 当这些词后面的名词有了the,these,those 等特指限定词修饰时,或其后的接的是us,them这样的人称代词时,则此时必须用介词 of:

two hundred of the workers 这些工人中的200人

three dozen of these eggs 这些鸡蛋中的3打

four dozen of them 它们中的4打

通过以上分析:此题答案显然只能是C。
