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 (more什么意思NMET'95第27题key:A) 2.The strike may last another three days.罢工可能还要持续三天。 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 (NMET'93.第11题key:C) 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。 |
