hundred,thousand和million的用法说明
(1)用单数的场合
当这些词与具体数字连用时,习惯上用单数,而且也不后接介词of.如:
He was prepared to pay two million. 他愿意支付200万。
More than a hundred people were injured. 有一百多人受了伤。
但是,当这些词后面的名词有了the,these,those等特指限定词修饰时,或其后的接的是us,them 这样的人称代词时,则此时必须用介词of.如:
About three hundred of them have left there. 他们当中约有300人离开了那儿。
(2)用复数的场合
当这些词不与具体数字连用,而是表示不确定的泛指数时,则不仅要要用复数,而且要后接介词of,然后才能接名词。如:
The sun was shining. Thousands of people were lying on the beach. 阳光灿烂,数以千计的人躺在海滩上。
A careless mistake cost the company millions of pounds. 一个粗心的错误使公司蒙受数百镑的损失。
