谈another, other, more修饰数词的用法
请看NMET2000单项选择第16题:
If you want to change for a double room you'll have to pay ____ $15.
A.another     B.other    C.more   D.each
该句的意思是“如果要换一个双人间,你还需再付15美元”。从题干“change for”可知已订过房间,现在要换只需再加15美元就行了。备选项D的意思是“每个”,不符合题意,A、B、C都可修饰数词,表“额外的、另外的”意思,它们之间的差别在于修饰数词的位置不同,这也正是本题的考查重点,现对another,other,more的这种用法归纳如下:
一、another
another表“另一个”时只跟可数名词单数,而表“另外的、额外的、附加的”之意时,可跟带有few或具体数字的复数名词,此时可把“数词+复数名词”看作是一个整体。如:
1.—Have you finished your report yet?
—你的报告完了吗?
No,I will finish it in 10 minutes.
—没有,还需10分钟。
A.another B.other C.more D.less

3.There is room for another few people in the back of the bus.公共汽车后面还能坐下几个人。
4.I'll be here for another few weeks.我在这儿还要呆几个礼拜。
二、other
表“另外的”接复数名词,如与具体数词连用,则置于数词之后,但与定冠词the连用时,other要放在数词前。如:
1.Tony is going camping with ____boys next Sunday.托尼将于下周日与另外两个男孩一起去野营。
A.little two other     B.two little other
C.two other little      D.little other two

2.Mr Smith asked me to fetch three other recorders.史密斯先生让我再拿三台录音机来。
3.Do you know where he found the other two photos?你知道他是在哪儿到另外两张照片的呢?
三、more
1.more一般位于数词之后名词前,有时也可置于名词之后。如:
1)She has got five more electric fans.她还有五台电扇。
2)One more step(One step more),and I'll shoot you.再走一步,我就开打死你。
3)Where shall we be in ten more years?再过十年,我们会在什么地方呢?
2.more除跟数词外,还可与a little,a few,a lot,several等词连用,而且名词也可是不可数名词。如:
1)I'd like to buy a few more copies of English Weekly.我想再买几份《英语周报》。
2)There are many more dictionaries on the desk.课桌上有许多词典。
3)Would you like some more tea?再喝点茶好吗?
四、名词省略
如果前后意思清楚,another或more后面的名词可以省去。如:
1.I climbed the stairs slowly,carrying a big suitcase,my father following with two more.我拎着一个大手提箱,所以爬楼梯很慢。父亲跟在后面,拎着另外两个手提箱。(NMET2000完形填空正文首句)
2.I have had one cup of coffee,but I'd like another.我喝了一杯咖啡,还想再来一杯。
3.I should like to have many more(books).我想多要几本书。
从以上分析,我们不难看出NMET2000第16题应该选A。
