核心问题
I gave him two dollars. “Take this money and buy yourself some more books.”
《高中英语重点·难点纵横谈》(中国科技大学出版社, p. 293) 对上面的句子作了如下注释: “some more 跟复数名词, 不跟单数名词。”
请问 some more 真的不能跟单数名词吗?
词典解答
上述说法是不精确的。some more 既可以跟复数名词,也可以跟单数名词(参见 more )。例如:
-
Would you like to have some more tea? 您要不要再喝点儿茶?
-
Isn't there some more wine in the cellar? 酒窖里不是还有酒吗?
-
Would you like some more cake/apples? 再吃一点儿蛋糕[苹果],好吗?
