借花献佛：an amount of、a number of与a quantity of的用法

GraceZhou · 发表于 2010-6-6 14:18:26

1）、an amount of通常与不可数、无生命的名词连用。如：
She spent a very large amount of money yesterday. 她昨天花了好大一笔钱。
2）、a number of 与可数、有生命或无生命的名词连用。如：
The president has made a large number of mistakes. 总统已犯了许多错误。
3）、a quantity of通常与可数或不可数、无生命的名词连用。如：
A vast / large quantity of imported beer has been sold. 已经售出了大量的进口啤酒。
再者，从上面的例句可知，amount, number和quantity的前面经常使用vast, large, small 等表示数量大小的形容词来修饰，而这些形容词前面有时还会使用very等程度副词来修饰。不过，要特别注意的是，在这些用法中，large不可用big 来替代。

谢谢楼主！估计下面这道是原题，贴出来看看：
The speculative fever of the Roaring Twenties infected rich and poor alike; vast quantities of people were dangerously overextended, credit was absurdly easy to obtain, and most brokerage houses required only ten percent cash for stocks bought on “margin.”
(A) rich and poor alike; vast quantities of people were dangerously overextended
(B) both rich and poor alike; large amounts of people dangerously overextended themselves
(C) rich and poor alike; great numbers of people were dangerously overextended
(D) both rich and poor alike; vast amounts of people dangerously overextended themselves
(E) both rich and poor; great quantities of people were dangerously overextended
