英语重点词汇more than one详解
1. “More than one + 单形名词”结构虽有复念,但习惯上作主语时,谓语动词用单数。
More than one boy【has read】the story. 不止一个男孩已经读了这个故事。
More than one question was asked.不止一个问题被问到。
It takes more than one cold day for the river to freeze three feet deep--the trouble has been brewing for quite some time.
冰冻三尺,非一日之寒。《汉英大词典》
More than one(不止一个) person is interested in it.不止一个人对这感兴趣。
2. “more +复形名词+than one” 作主语时,谓语动词用复数。less is more英文理解
More boys than one【have read】the story. 不止一个男孩已经读了这个故事。
More members than one have protested against the proposal.
不止一个成员抗议这项提议。
注意:
more than one +数词+复数名词 作主语时,谓语动词用复数.。
例如: More than one thousand men and women【are working】in this factory.
有1000多男女工人在这家工厂做工。
More than one hundred police have ringed the area.
这一地区已被上百名警察包围。
外企会议或英文辩论赛中,很多人会习惯用"According "开头,但英文里其实并没有according to me这种说法。
因为according to后面跟的是一种客观的依据。所以不能用according to me/us,也不用according to you。但如果是according to the doctor(或人名)就没有问题。
另外,既是客观陈述,according to就不接view(看法)和opinion(意见)这些有主观成份的字眼。真想说依据我的看法,要用in my opinion。
请看:
就我的看法,这是很可靠的投资。
According to me, it is a very sound investment. (X)
According to my opinion, it is a very sound investment.(X)
In my opinion, it is a very sound investment.(√)
“according to”适合很多场景,只要注意使用的时候不要踩以上的坑就可以了。例如:
Philip stayed at the hotel, according to Mr Hemming.
据亨明先生所说,菲利普住在旅馆里。
They can get on with running the school system according to their own lights and in their o
wn interests.
他们可以继续按照自己的想法,依据自己的利益来管理学校系统。
According to the prosecution, the officers manufactured an elaborate story
根据控方意见,官员们精心编造了事情经过。
Answer a fool according to his folly.以其人之道,还治其人之身。
千万注意:
according to句型其后接成分不能是人称代词宾格,但是,可以接第三人称代词:
According to him,she is not honest.据他说,她是一个不诚实的人。
例外,according to如需要接一个句子时,则用according as,如:
Everyone contributes according as he is able.每个人根据自己的能力作出自己的贡献。
