就像a group of people作者: stellina 时间: 2010-9-8 18:00
根据语境来,如果强调一个整体,用单数,如果强调的是这么一代人一群人,用复数。。
比如:In China, the after-eighty generation are those who were born between the year 1980 to 1989 in urban areas of Mainland China.作者: stellina 时间: 2010-9-8 18:03
就像a group of people

这个也要根据语境。。刚才搜了下,
A group of people is coming tonight. (the group as a unit is pursuing a goal) A group of people are fighting in the street. (individuals within the group against each other)
不知道对不对。。NN们请鉴定!
但大多数的GMAT题里,a team of scientists,a group of geologists 都是用单数。。作者: richieq 时间: 2010-9-8 18:06
哦,我也查了一下,出现在gmat考试里应该就是单数了,因为真正主语是group,就要单纯看他的单复数作者: stellina 时间: 2010-9-8 18:09
所以说。。。。这题应该用单数??作者: richieq 时间: 2010-9-8 18:31
想了半天,这个表达的意思是一代女人,那就是复数,女人的一代就是单数,显然应该是一代女人,所以我觉得是复数,不确定,待大牛解答,误导别人了请谅解作者: 速水愛媛 时间: 2021-3-13 09:25
刚刚看lLSAT的RC发现了这个疑问,下面的原文供大家参考与探讨。
A recent generation of historians of science, far from portraying accepted scientific views as objectively accurate reflections of a natural world, explain the acceptance of such views in terms of the ideological biases of certain influential scientists or the institutional and rhetorical power such scientists wield.作者: SabrinaSheng 时间: 2021-3-22 17:20
