Indeed, what is called body language is so ____ a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed.
A. well B. far C. much D. long
选 C。请问 so much 不是修饰不可数名词吗?这里是什么用法呢?
▲没错,so much后面通常接不可数名词。如:
Stop making so much noise. 不要这样吵闹。
I ate so much food that I was almost sick. 我吃了那么多的食物。几乎要吐了。
I have got so much work to do. It is really getting on top of me. 我有很多工作要做,真压得我受不了。
All this unnecessary packaging creates so much waste. 所有这些不必要的包装会造成很大的浪费。
▲但有时也接可数名词,但此时不可数名词必须是单数,且其前必须要有不定冠词,其基本义为“其程度是如此的……”,需根据具体语境灵活理解。如:
It’s not so much a bedroom, more a studio. 这里不像卧室,更像一间工作室。
Dennis is not so much a nuisance as a menace. 与其说丹尼斯是个讨厌鬼,不如说是个危险人物。
It’s not so much a hobby as a career(= more like a career than a hobby). 这与其说是消遣,不如说是职业。
His latest play is not so much a farce as a burlesque tragedy. 他最近的一个剧本与其说是一个滑稽剧,不如说是一个滑稽的悲剧。
