the only 的意思是“唯一的”,它后面好像通常是接单数名词。如:
It was the only course open to him. 这是他可采取的唯一方法。
She was the only candidate for the post. 她是该职位的唯一候选人。
请问,the only后面可以接复数名词吗?
the only可以修饰复数名词,表示“唯一的一些”。如: They were the only two men at that time. 当时就只有他们两人。《简明英汉词典》 We were the only people there. 只有我们在那里。《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》 We were the only people wearing hats. 只有我们戴了帽子。(张道真《现代英语用法词典》) The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt. 飞机上的旅客只有一位年轻妇女和她的两个女婴儿,她们没有受伤。《现代英汉词典》
