标题Re: [文法] there is/are用於未来式
时间Sat Oct 1 00:55:50 2011
此篇的标题应改为 lot 这个鬼东西 XD~
原po问:
: 请问这两句可代换吗??
:
: There will be a lot of students in the classroom.
: 和There are going to be a lot of students in the classroom.
:
: 看来看去一直觉得第二句怪怪的
: be going to 不是用於预定好一定会做的事
: "存在的有"适合用於这种句型吗??

: 推 tengharold:恩恩 d大说的对,there ARE. 09/30 00:06
: 推 tengharold:一阵子没写作文就会出现这种问题 XD 09/30 00:09
我後来觉得 there are 真是有点怪,再仔细回去查,发现有个问题:
lot 到底算不算集合名词 (collective noun)?
因为有集合名词时,以该集合为主词
如 There is a gaggle of geese 那里有一群鹅,"群" (gaggle) 为单数主词
be 动词为 is
回朔原例句 2:There are going to be a lot of students in the classroom.
如果 lot 为集合名词,那 lot 会变成主词,原句自然要变成 There is
如果 lot 为形容词,那 students 为主词,原句则仍为 There are
到底原句该是 there is 还是 there are,取决於 lot 是形容词还是集合名词
再往下挖,发现 lot 是两者通用! [真是香蕉你个芭乐]
lot 当一般集合名词时,译为"群"、"组"、"批"
例:the cups will be divided into 4 lots, each lot of cups is to be
auctioned separately.
[杯子将分成4批,每批分别拍卖]
用在股票时,台湾之"张" (也就是1000股) 英译为 lot
lot 当作形容词时直接等於 many
例:I have a lot of bananas = I have many bananas.
而且这形容词还有复数! (根本就是名词来滥竽充数的嘛~)
例: I have lots of bananas = I have many bananas.
再更仔细看一点,发现 lot 当集合名词时会避 a lot 不用,而改用 each 或其他词
来做 lot 的冠词;其他集合名词没这避讳
a gaggle of geese
a pride of lions 但是
one lot of cups to be auctioned 不是 a lot of cups to be auctioned
lot 当形容词 (=many) 时则仅用 a lot 或 lots
这是全英语系唯一有单复数的形容词吧!! 而且单复数意义完全一样 XD 根本就是来乱的
所以回到原句
There are going to be a lot of students in the classroom.
A lot 为形容词 (= many) 所以正解仍为 d大的 ARE
但希望原po不要直接忽略了集合名词的存在
因为我如果不用 lot 而用 group
There are going to be a group of students in the classroom 就会错
让我想到当年写作文时状况百出,问教授英语文法为何例外那麽多
教授回答:
Because English is a language for illiterate peasants.
因为英文是文盲农夫在讲的呀~ (  ̄ c ̄)y▂ξ
