1.14.2.25 25.more of与enough of的主谓一致

25.more of与enough of的主谓一致

“more of+名词短语”和“enough of+名词短语”作主语时,谓语动词的数与短语中of后的名词的数保持一致。要注意more of和enough of只能跟带有限定词的不可数名词或复数可数名词,如可以讲enough of the blue material或more of my friends,但不能说enough of blue material或more of friends。如果名词前没有限定词,就不能用of。这时more和enough本身就是限定词,如enough blue material,more friends等。

More of the trees are planted on either side of the river.

河的两岸种着更多的树。

More of the land is planted to cabbages than to tomatoes.

种白菜的地比种西红柿的多。

Is there enough of the blue material?

有足够的蓝色原料吗?

Are there enough of the big nails to mend the cupboard?

有足够的大钉子修理橱柜吗?

提示:

more和enough有时也可以单独作主语,这时谓语动词的数应根据它们所指对象的单、复数意义来选择其形式。

There is more in it than you can imagine.

其中还有你想象不到的含义。

Instead of fewer accidents,there were more.

意外事件不但没有减少,反而增加。

enough单独作主语时,通常指不可数的东西,动词应取单数形式。但有时也可以指人或复数可数名词,这时动词应采用复数形式。

Enough has been said on this subject.

对于这个问题已经说得够多了。

Enough(apples,etc)have been left for him.

已给他留下了足够的(苹果等)。
