When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950s, some 4,000 existed in the United States, but today there are less than one-quarter that many

A. there are less than one-quarter that many

B. there are fewer than one-quarter as many

C. there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount

D. the number is less than one-quarter the amount

E. it is less than one-quarter of that amount

答案是B，我选的 C，这个用法有些纠结啊。。。。。

对啊~~~昨天我刚做了这道题当时毫不犹豫地选了GWD答案...结果很囧地错了...msGWD答案里面错的还有好几个呢

为什么不选less的呢？

ghgriffin · 发表于 2009-6-6 16:10:00

顶一个！！！

to annajulira: less是用在不可数名词.

貌似是c中的the amount 错了,这个东西只能用来不可数名词上.据说..

ghgriffin · 发表于 2009-6-6 23:34:00

想起来了，我明白了，amount 只能修饰不可数名词

one quarter as many 和 twice as many都是正确的用法，要记住.

由some 4,000 existed, 推出是数字。Number的比较只能用fewer不能用less，排除ADE。可数名词drive-ins搭配many而非amount，排除C，选B。

the number of A is greater/fewer than the number of B.

the amount of A is more/less than the amount of B.

I have more/less apples than you have. / This knowledge may be less useful than most people think.

The number of my apple is greater/fewer than the number of yours.
