英语常用短语的用法与练习(22)
106. Not that Charlie’s own life was easy!
然而卓别林自己的生活也并不容易!
用法和例句:
not that并非,倒不是说,用于句首或短语之前,表否定含义。如:①Who were you with last night? Not that I care, of course. 你昨晚和谁在一起?我当然不计较。
②She hasn't written to me yet not that she ever said she would. 她还没给我来信--倒不是她说过要给我写信。
③There's no pub round here, least ways not that I know of. 附近没有酒店,至少据我所知没有。
比较:
(1). not because …..., but because …… 是用“not ……, but ……”连接两个 because 引导的原因状语从句,意思是“不是因为……,而是因为……”。这一句式只用作状语。如:I did it not because I liked it but because I had to do it.我做这事不是因为我喜欢它,而是因为我必须做。
(2). not because of ……, but because of …… 有时也可连接两个because of短语。如:He failed in business not because of misfortune, but because of his own mistakes. 他生意上的失败不是由于遇到了厄运,而是由于他自己的过错。
(3). not that …… , but that…… 是用“not ……, but ……”连接两个that-clause,意思也是“不是因为……,而是因为……”。这一句式在句中作状语时,相当于 not because …..., but because ……,可以换用。如:I went back not that it rained, but that I was tired. = I went back not because it rained, but because I was tired. 我并不是因为下雨才回来, 而是因为我累了。
(4). 在 not that……, but that …… 之前可以加上 it is ,则成为另一固定句式:It is not that ……, but that ……。如:It’s not that I don’t like the car, but that I think it is too expensive.
不是我不喜欢这辆车,而是它太贵了。
(5). It is not that ……, but that …… 中的 it is 常省略,单独用 not that ……, but that ……。 例如: (It is) Not that he is incompetent, but that he lacks experience. 他并不是不称职,只是缺乏经验。
(6). not that ……, but that …… 句式中的 but 后的 that 可以省略。如:Not that Kity doesn’t want to help you, but (that) it is beyond his power. 不是Kity不想帮你,而是这超出了他的能力。
(7). not that ……, but that …… 可位于系动词 be 之后,连接两个表语,此时不是表示原因,仅表示“不是……,而是……”的意思。如:The value of marriage is not that adults produce children but that children produce adults. 结婚的好处并不在于成人可生养孩子,而在于孩子可助人成熟。

weight常用短语107. the number of……的数量、数目
用法:
the number of意为“……的数量、数目”,作主语时谓语动词用单数;a number of意为“一些,很多”,相当于 many, 后接可数名词复数,当它作主语时,谓语动词用复数。
a large /great/good number of;a great/good many;a good few/quite a few+可数名词复数,意为“大量的”;
a great/good deal; a great/ large amount of; quite a little+ 不可数名词,意为“大量的”;
a lot of/lots of; a great /large quantity of; large quantities of/ plenty of +可数名词复数/不可数名词均可,意为“大量的”。但是a great/large quantity of ..., large quantities of ...作主语时谓语动词与quantity形式一致。

①The number of competitors is limit. 参赛者的数量是有限的。
②A number of problems have arisen. 已经出现了一些问题。
