a large number of是什么意思

“a large number of”的中文翻译

A. “a large number of”是什么意思

“a large number of”的中文翻译意思是：大量的；许多的；大批的。（量词短语，相当于形容词用法，只能修饰可数名词复数，表示数目庞大，语气比“a lot of”更正式、更书面化）。

B. “a large number of”的发音音标

英[ə lɑːdʒ ˈnʌmbə(r) əv] 美[ə lɑːrdʒ ˈnʌmbər əv]（“a”弱读为 /ə/；“large”英式读 /lɑːdʒ/、美式读 /lɑːrdʒ/，注意 /r/ 音；“number”重音在第一音节 /ˈnʌm/；“of”弱读为 /əv/；口语中常连读，节奏为“呃-拉吉-南博-呃”）。

C. “a large number of”的用法

“a large number of”由不定冠词“a”+形容词“large”（大的）+名词“number”（数量）+介词“of”构成，是英语中表示“大量”的正式量词短语，只能修饰可数名词复数，后接不可数名词是常见错误，如可以说“a large number of students / books / visitors / problems”（大量学生/书籍/访客/问题），但不能说 a large number of money。该表达多见于正式书面语，如新闻报道、学术论文、统计报告等，日常口语中更常用“a lot of”或“lots of”。语法上需特别注意：当“a large number of + 复数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式，如“A large number of students were absent yesterday”（昨天大量学生缺席），这与“The number of + 复数名词”作主语时谓语用单数形成鲜明对比，如“The number of students is increasing”（学生人数在增加），前者强调“大量个体”，后者强调“数目”这一整体概念。与之相比，“a great number of”与“a large number of”含义和用法完全相同，仅语气上“great”稍显文雅，两者常可互换；“a small number of”意为“少数的、少量的”，是反义表达；“numbers of”单独使用（不加 a large）也可表示“大量的”，属较文雅的书面用法，如“Numbers of people attended the ceremony”（大批人参加了仪式）；“a great deal of”只修饰不可数名词，与本短语分工互补；“a large amount of”同样只修饰不可数名词，强调可测量的量；“a large quantity of”语气正式，可接可数与不可数名词，多见于科技与商业文体；“plenty of”意为“充足的”，可接可数与不可数名词；“many”修饰可数名词复数，是最简洁的表达，口语书面通用；“numerous”是形容词，直接修饰复数名词，如“numerous problems”，语气正式。注意不要混淆“a large number of”（大量的+可数复数）与“the number of”（……的数目），前者后接复数谓语，后者后接单数谓语，这是考试中的高频考点。

10. “a large number of”后接可数名词复数，谓语用复数（A large number of students are here）；“the number of”指“……的数目”，谓语用单数（The number of students is increasing），两者含义与语法均不同，不可混淆。

“A large number of” is followed by plural countable nouns and takes a plural verb (A large number of students are here), whereas “the number of” means “the count of” and takes a singular verb (The number of students is increasing)—the two differ in both meaning and grammar and should not be confused.
