今天我们要学习的是amount。大多数学生对amount的了解可能只停留在其词义层面,至于用法可能并不熟悉。amount是口语中经常用到的一个词,它可将很多事物(多为不可数名词指代的事物及抽象概念)量化,且有大小之分。比如:

Please pay the full amount by the end of the month.请在月底前付清全额。

The job involves a considerable amount of foreign travel. 这个工作要经常出差去国外。

A small amount of this paint covers a large area.这种料用一点就可涂一大片。

No amount of persuasion could make her change her mind. 怎么劝也无法让她改变主意。

A certain amount of flexibility is built into the system. 该体系加入了一定的灵活性。

     另外还要注意,a(n) ... amount of ... amounts of ... 作主语时谓语动词的单复数问题,详见《新高中英语词汇》截图。
