Thousands of hectares of land were/was damaged.
请问老师:例句中谓语动词是不是单复数都正确?把hectares当主语用复数,把land当主语用单数?
查阅了一下网站主页的牛津,朗文,剑桥,韦氏,柯林斯词典,涉及hectare(公顷) (a unit for measuring an area of land; 10000 square metres or about 2.5 acres) 的具体句例不多。但是,根据英文释义,有和它同类的acre(英亩) (a unit for measuring an area of land; 4840 square yards or about 4050 square meters)一词的3个例句(摘自朗文和柯林斯词典),我觉得,网友的想法可能是对的。
1. About 50 acres of forest land was damaged before the fire was brought under control.
2. At the time there were about 40 million acres of farmland.
3. There are five acres of land around the house.
hectare为表示面积的量词 a hectare of 为一公顷。作主语的时候,要以量词单复数确定谓语动词单复数。即量词是单数,谓语动词用单数,量词是复数,谓语动词用复数。
【1】a hectare of land(一公顷土地) 作主语谓语动词用单数
【2】two hectares of land(二公顷土地) 作主语谓语动词用复数
【3】thousands of hectares of land(数千公顷土地) 作主语谓语动词用复数
备注:land还可以是forest
Thousands of hectares of forest are destroyed each year.
每年都有几千公顷的森林遭到破坏。
所以网友以下句子是正确的
Thousands of hectares of land were damaged.
