请教刘老师:
数量+量词(单位词)+of+名词的词组中,语义中心在后面做前置限定词:
a kind of a cup of ; a glass of a sort of, etc;
several cups of milk
the first batch of students, the second batch of sugar.
Of前是不定量的词,做前置限定词: a lot of a great amount of plenty of hundreds of a sum of;
请老师查看以上理解是否有误.
一、kind,sort,type,form 等表示“种类”的名词,构成如下词组,一般做限定语。中心词是后面的名词。
例如:
a kind of + 中心词
two kinds of + 中心词
this kind of + 中心词
all kinds of + 中心词
my kind of + 中心词
Tom's kind of + 中心词
似乎无法做中心词。这是因为:
this kind of books = books of this kind
that kind of books = books of that kind
these kinds of books = books of these kinds
those kinds of books = books of those kinds
all kinds of books = books of all kinds
在表示种类、类别的英语表达中,如 a kind of, this kind of, what kind of,可数名词在单数情况下,通常不加冠词,这似乎有悖于语法规则。其实,在名词之前这个表示种类的修饰语(a kind of, this kind of, what kind of),本身就相当于限定词,就像my book中的my一样,无须再使用冠词a, the。常见的表示种类的词语有:
this kind of car a kind of car what kind of car
this sort of car a sort of car what sort of car
this type of car a type of car what type of car
this brand of car a brand of car what brand of car
this form of car a form of car what form of car
this style of car a style of car what style of car
this variety of car a variety of car what variety of car
this variety of car a variety of car what variety of car
this make of car a make of car what make of car
实际上,在一些表示种类的词语中,有时是可以带冠词的,例如:what kind of a car,但是,有无冠词,意思有一定的差别,试比较:
What kind of doctor is he? 他是哪一类医生?(内科还是外科医生)
What kind of a doctor is he? 他医术如何?(医术是否高明)
What kind of hospital is it?它是哪一类医院?(内科还是外科医院)
What kind of a hospital is it?这家医院怎么样?(好还是不好)
What kind of job is that? 这是哪一类的工作?
What kind of a job is that? 这算是什么工作?(含义是:你应为这工作感到羞愧)。
What kind of car did you buy? 你买了什么牌子的车?
What kind of a car did you buy? 你买的车性能如何?
二、对于一个不可数名词,我们可以使用“量化” 将其分解为“可数”。例如:news (新闻;消息)和water(水),money(钱)都是不可数名词,我们可以给予“量化”,中心词仍然是 news,water,money 等
a piece of news
two pieces of news
some pieces of news
a cup of water
two cups of water
several cups of water
又如:
a sum of money 一笔钱
a large sum of money 一大笔钱
several sums of momey 几笔钱
量词也可以特指:
the piece of news
that glass of water
但,中心词仍然是后面的名词。
三、不定量词a lot of a great amount of plenty of hundreds of a sum of;自然是作定语,中心词是后面的名词。
(例子略)
