请问这个题，正确答案是B选项，可是我一开始就把它排除了，因为曼哈顿上说当dollars代表钱的时候当成不可数，用much less。为什么这个题的dollars are对了呢？作者: Fiona09 时间: 2017-4-7 12:18
Manhattan上说的dollar表示“钱”的时候是不可数名词，用much less。这里的“钱”是指货币单位，是抽象的，是一种统称。
举个栗子：Dollar is depreciating more faster than ever.（美元正以空前的速度贬值）
而这里seven dollars是具体的，可数的，特指“7美元”，所以得用复数。
举个栗子：They spent over one million dollars on the campaign. （他们花了一百多万美元竞选）作者: eatambre 时间: 2017-4-7 12:48
