复数主语为什么对应as much as而不是as many as呢

例句1: Our transport costs have risen so much in the last few months.

例句2: Their costs have risen just as much as ours.

这两句的 costs 用复数形式，much 为何不用 many?

因为这两句中的so much和as much都是程度副词作状语，修饰谓语动词have risen，而so many常作定语修饰可数名词复数（so much也可做定语修饰不可数名词）。比较：

It was unfair that he should suffer so much. 他受这么多苦，太冤枉了。（状语）

So many marriages have come to grief over lack of money. 许多婚姻都因缺钱而以失败告终。（定语）

He polled four times as many votes as his rival.他得到的选票数量是竞选对手的4倍。（定语）

He does deserve some good luck after so much wretchedness. 经过这么多苦难之后，他应该行点好运了。（定语）
