an abundance of 后接名词时,既可以可数名词也可以不可数名词。比如下面的例句摘自张道真《现代英语用法词》(其中4例接的是不可数名词,2例接的是可数名词复数):
There is also an abundance of first-class timber. (Mis)
There was an abundance of food. (Wood)
It was one advantage of the district that it never lacked an abundance of cheap coal. (Cronin)
He has an abundance of good stories. (ELD)
There was such an abundance of apples that year that many were left to rot under the trees. (Thorndike)
There was an abundance of corn last year (DCE)
