《剑桥高阶英汉双解词典》angle 条的一个例句:
The boat settled into the mud at a 35 degree / an angle of 35 degrees. 船身呈35度角倾斜陷入烂泥中。
我不明白35是大于1的数。a 35 degree 中 degree 为何不用复数,而 an angle of 35 degrees中用复数。 请专家指教,谢谢!
1. 你的句子:The boat settled into the mud at a 35 degree / an angle of 35 degrees. 船身呈35度角倾斜陷入烂泥中。
2. 请核对原文,应该是:
The boat settled into the mud at a 35 degree angle / an angle of 35 degrees. 船身呈35度角倾斜陷入烂泥中。
3. a 35 degree angle 中的 35 degree 是定语,所以 degree 不用复数。类似的例子如:
(1) The boat is now leaning at a 30 degree angle. 船正以30度角倾斜。
(2) Place the shelf at a 90 degree angle to the wall. 把这个架子与墙成90 度角放置。
(3) He took up a 10 year lease on the house at Rossie Priory. 他签了一份10年租约,租下了罗茜大宅的房子。
(4) They made a 3,000 mile detour simply to prove a point. 他们绕行3,000英里只是为了证明自己能够做到。
(5) The new head of state should be chosen by an 87 member representative council. 新的国家元首应该由包括87名成员的代表委员会选出。
