og11, page 633, 中间部分 Forms of comparison: Many forms follow precise constructions. Fewer refers to a specific number, whereas less than refers to a continuous quantity... Examples: Correct: There were fewer children in my class this year. Wrong: There are less children in my class this year. Correct: There was less devastation than I was told. Wrong: There was fewer devastation than I was told. 论述和例子是不是不太一致啊,论述讲得是确切数字和连续数字,例子是可数名词和不可数名词。如果我说:My books are fewer than yours. 对不对?fewer than 也是指 continuous quantity对吗? 请大家讨论。 |
