老师们好,请问这句
--Tom, _____ four people enough for that work?
--I'm afraid I need another two.
--Ok. I'll find two for you.
请问这句是填is 还是are?
根据《薄冰英语惯用法词典》(enough词条):
enough 如用作表语,当主语是复数时,动词可用单数,也可用复数。例如:
Five boxes of apples is enough for the camp.
Five boxes of apples are enough for the camp.
5 箱苹果足够该营食用。
分析:此时用单数动词还是复数动词,主要取决是把 Five boxes of apples 看作抽象整体,还是具体的数量。用单数谓语的用法还见于《薄冰高级英语语法》:
Four copies is enough. 四册就够了。
