※ 引述《wizardofevil (麒麟)》之铭言： : 请问各位高手 : My birthday is on January 1st. : My birthday is January 1st. : 哪个是对的呢? : 被学生问的时候觉得好像两个都对但上面的又好像比较正确一点... : 另外 : Four thousand dollars were paid by Ricky. : Four thousand dollars was paid by Ricky. : 学校老师说下面的是对的,但是为何呢? 你可以自行比对，"birthday is" [1] [2]， "birthday is on" [3] [4]。以及 "thousand dollars are" 个体概念 [5] [6]，还有 "thousand dollars is" 整体概念 [7] [8]。 [1] My birthday is 6 April and she died on 8 April. Everyone said it was planning my 60th birthday party that kept her going. (Guardian, 1 August 2010) [2] And Mr. Rangel, whose actual birthday is June 11, all but pleaded with would-be guests to make an appearance. (NY Times, August 11, 2010) [3] Jacqui Miele says her son Luca, 11 - whose birthday is on August 30 - found concentrating very hard in reception. (Guardian, 12 February 2008) [4] Nkosi Johnson's 12th birthday is on Feb. 4. But even if he lives that long, it will be his last. (Time, Feb. 18, 2009) [5] The New-York State Inebriate Asylum, at Binghamton, is not yet completed. The mason work is finished and paid for, but about seventy-five thousand dollars are needed to complete the buildings. (NY Times, January 4, 1860) [6] Only several thousand dollars were obtained in the string of bank robberies, which occurred in northeast Los Angeles as well as Glendale. But police have been anxious to arrest the thief, who was considered dangerous because he was armed. (LA Times, September 26, 1994) [7] Forty-nine thousand dollars is a lot to pay for a single glove, unless, of course, it was worn by the King of Pop. (NY Times, September 6, 2009) [8] Twenty-thousand dollars is loose change to James but it was enough to let the nation know where he stood. (Guardian, 7 August 2008) 希望以上对你有帮助 :) -- The bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you refuse to take the turn. http://blog.sina.com.tw/englishlearner/ --
