many是形容词,译为许多的,多的。

many的比较级和最高级:

1、many的比较级:more。

more是表示数量或程度上高于另一个事物的比较级形式。

例如:

She has more experience than I do.

她比我有更多的经验。

2、many的最高级:most。

most是用于三个或以上事物之间进行比较,表示数量或程度最高的形式。

例如:

Out of all the candidates, he is the most qualified for the job.

在所有申请者中,他是最合适这份工作的人。

many的用法:

1、大部分情况下many用于否定句和疑问句中。

例如:

Were there many children at the party?

聚会上有很多孩子吗?

I don’t have many relatives. We’re a small family.

我没有多少亲戚。我们是一个小家庭。

many可以与not连用,相当于few。

例如:

Not many people realise that the mathematical notion of ‘zero’ is a relatively recent invention.

没有多少人意识到“零”的数学概念是一个相对较新的发明。

2、用于肯定句的情况。

many通常不单独在肯定句中使用,而使用a lot of代替。

例如:

There were a lot of people at the swimming pool this morning.

今天早上游泳池里有很多人。

但是在非常正式的上下文中,使用many代替a lot of和lots of。

例如:

Many politicians have suffered at the hands of the popular press.

许多政客在大众媒体的控制下遭受了苦难。

Many of his friends and colleagues were shocked upon hearing of his sudden death.

他的许多朋友和同事听到他的突然死亡感到震惊。

在名词有定语从句修饰的肯定句中,通常用 many。

例如:

There are many elderly people who have never touched a computer in their lives.

有许多老年人一生中从未接触过电脑。

3、在表示数量大的程度时,可以用very、a great、too或so来修饰。

例如:

very many:

Very many people have complained about the situation.

很多人抱怨过这种情况。

a great many:

There were a great many questions which were left unanswered at the end of the investigation.

在调查结束时,有许多问题没有得到回答。

too many:

There are too many mistakes in this essay.

这篇文章错误太多。

so many:

Why do so many people watch reality TV shows?

为什么这么多人看真人秀?

4、as many as +数字,用来表示数量大的让人震惊,意为”多达,如此多“。

例如:

As many as 5,000 people are believed to have died in the earthquake.

据信有多达5000人在地震中丧生。

5、in as many意为“…的同样的”。

例如:

He doesn’t seem to be very lucky in love. He’s had three girlfriends in as many months.

他在爱情上似乎不太走运。在同样的三个月里他有三个女朋友。

解析:此句相当于 He's had three girlfriends in three months.

6、关于 many of。

(1)其后接名词时,该名词通常应是特指的(比如有 the、this、that、 these、those、my、our、Tom’s等修饰),作主语时,谓语用复数。

例如:

Many of the books are mine.

很多书都是我的。

Many of those most affected are elderly.

受影响最大的人中很多都是上了年纪的。

Many of these cushions have survived and are very collectible.

这些垫子很多都保存了下来,非常有收藏价值。

(2)如果名词没有表特指的限定词,通常就不用of。

例如:

叶子剩下的不多了。

误:There aren’t many of leaves left.

正:There aren’t many leaves left.

油菜籽剩下的不多了。

误:There aren't many of rape seeds left.

正:There aren't many rape seeds left.

(3)如果用了介词of又没有特指限定词,通常是不可以的。

如:

许多学生读过它。

误:Many of students have read it.

正:Many of the students have read it.

(4)在人称代词前总是用many of,其中的of不能没有。

如:

Many of us were too tired to go further.

我们很多人都累得不能再往前走了。

Many of them also offer a mail-order service.

他们中有许多家也提供邮购服务。

7、可与more连用,之后接复数名词。

例如:

There have been many more burglaries this year.

今年盗窃案比过去多好些。

Television and radio needed many more women in senior jobs.

电视和广播领域需要有更多女性来担任高级职位。

有时其后的名词可承前省略。

例如:

Many people support the government, but many more are against it.

许多人支持政府,但更多得多的人反对它。

另外,其后修饰的不是名词,而是形容词或副词,则用much more,不用many more。

例如:

You must work much more carefully.

你应工作得更加细心。

It was much more enjoyable than I had expected.

这比我预期的有趣得多。

8、many a+单数可数名词,形式上为单数,但意义上为复数(意为“许多”),若用作主语,其谓语通常与形式一致而不与意义一致,即谓语用单数。

例如:

Many a young man has tried and failed.

很多年轻人都试过,而且失败了。

Many a customer has been lost through negligence of service.

由于服务不周失去了许多老主顾。

注意,“many a+单数名词”是一个十分正式的结构,在口语或非正式文体中一般都用“many +复数名词”代之。

9、the many意为“绝大多数人”,单独使用,谓语用复数。

例如:

The many are kept in ignorance while the few prosper.

绝大多数人被蒙在鼓里,少数人却兴旺发达。

10、与 a great/good number of, a great/good amount of 等表达不同,a great/good many 后接名词时,不用介词of。

例如:

I’ve known her for a great many years.

我认识她好多年了。

A great many people were at the meeting.

很多人参加了会。

A great many changes have happened in the neighbourhood, since you went away.

自从你走了以后,这带发生了好多事情。

当其后接的是人称代词或带有限定词的名词时,则要有of。

如:

A good many of them have bighouses.

他们中的许多人有大房子。

A great many of them are out of work.

他们很多人失业了。

11、how many+可数名词复数用来讨论或提问数量。

例如:

I was surprised by how many people were there.

我很惊讶有那么多人在那里。

How many people were there?

有多少人?

How many times do I have to tell you to lock the door?

我要告诉你多少次才能锁门?

解析:以上两句若表示数量不多时,可以用not very many回答。

与many相关的习语有哪些?

1、as many as … 表示惊讶,意为多达,如此多。

例如:

There were as many as 200 people at the lecture.

听讲的有200人之多。

2、many's the 许多次,常常。

例如:

Many's the time I heard her use those words.

我不止一次听她说过那样的话。

many、much、a lot of、lots of的区别:

1、many “许多”。只能与可数名词连用,其反义词是few,主要用于疑问句和否定句中,在肯定句中不常用。但可作句子的主语或修饰主语,常用于so、as、too之后。

例如:

How many people came to the meeting? 

多少人来参加会议?

There aren't many mistakes in his exercise.

他的练习里没有多少错误。

You made too many mistakes. 

你犯的错误太多了。

2、much “许多”。只能与不可数名词连用。其反义词是little,主要用于疑问句和否定句中。

例如:

How much money is there in the box? 

盒子里有多少钱?

I don't have much free time. 

我没有多少空闲时间。

3、a lot of 和lots of 都表示“许多”的意思。两词可以换用,属于非正式用语,且常用于口语,跟可数名词时要用复数,也可以跟不可数名词。

例如:

There are a lot of hospitals in the city.

城市里有许多医院。

A lot of work is to be done this month.

这个月将有许多事情要做。

Lots of the fellows have been downed on their first flight.

在他们的第一次飞行中就有许多同事倒下。
