分?jǐn)?shù)的概念:
一般情況下,表示分?jǐn)?shù)時,分子要用基數(shù)詞,分母用序數(shù)詞(first, second, third ...)。如果分子大于1,分母必須用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
分?jǐn)?shù)的表示法:
分?jǐn)?shù)由基數(shù)詞和序數(shù)構(gòu)成—分子用基數(shù)詞,分母用序數(shù)詞,分子超過“1”時,分母用復(fù)數(shù):
如:a[one] sixth 六分之一
two thirds 三分之二
three fifths 五分之三
注:
(1)1/2 通常讀作a[one] half,一般不讀作a second。
(2)1/4 可讀作a[one] fourth,也可讀作a[one] quarter。
(3)分子超過“1”分母之所以用復(fù)數(shù)可以這樣理解:“三分之二”即兩個(two)三分之一(third),既然是兩個“三分之一”,那“三分之一”當(dāng)然要用復(fù)數(shù),即用thirds。
(4)在數(shù)學(xué)上,為了簡潔起見,分子和分母均可用基數(shù)詞,其間用介詞over:3/4讀作three over four(對于比較復(fù)雜的分?jǐn)?shù)通常采用此讀法)
(5)帶分?jǐn)?shù)的讀法:在整數(shù)與分?jǐn)?shù)之間用and連接:five and two thirds
分?jǐn)?shù)在句中的作用:
1、主語:
如:A quarter of the population voted for him. 四分之一的人投他的票。
The other third of the black population live in poverty. 另外三分之一的黑人生活在貧困之中。
Three-fifths of the computers on display were home-made. 展出的電腦五分之三是國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)的。
2、賓語或介詞賓語:
如:Mother divided the cake into thirds. 媽媽把蛋糕分成三份。
Give a quarter of the pie to each of them. 給他們每人四分之一塊餡餅。
They account for one-senventh of the population. 他們占人口的七分之一。
3、表語或同位語:
如:The crop that year was only one-third of the usual amount. 那年的收成只是常年產(chǎn)量的三分之一。
Over twelve million people, about three-fifths of the local population are Hans. 有一千二百多萬人是漢人,約占當(dāng)?shù)厝丝诘奈宸种?BR>4、定語:
如:It's one-twentieth the thickness of a human hair.它相當(dāng)于人的頭發(fā)絲二十分之一那么細。
The mass of an electron is1/850 that of a hydrogen atom. 電子的質(zhì)量相當(dāng)于氫原子質(zhì)量的1/850。
It produces power at 1/8 the cost in a thermal power plant. 它的發(fā)電成本只是熱電廠成本的八分之一。
5、狀語:
如:China is one-sixth larger than the United States. 中國比美國大六分之一。
This substance reacts one-tenth as fast as the other one. 這種物質(zhì)的反應(yīng)速度只是另一種物質(zhì)的十分之一。
百分?jǐn)?shù)的表示法:
百分?jǐn)?shù)由基數(shù)詞(或小數(shù))和百分號(%)組成,百分號(%)讀作percent:
如:fifteen percent(15%),
(zero)point six percent(0.6%)
注:百分?jǐn)?shù)后接名詞時有時用介詞of,有時不用:
如:30% of the students (30%的學(xué)生)
a 30% chance (30%的把握)
兩者的區(qū)別是:后接介詞of時,percent為名詞,of表示整體中的部分;不接介詞of時,percent為形容詞(此時不表示整體與部分的關(guān)系)。
如:6 percent of the interest=利息中的百分之六
at 6 percent interest=按百分之六的利息。
注:當(dāng)百分?jǐn)?shù)、分?jǐn)?shù)后面加名詞或代詞時,要根據(jù)這個名詞或代詞來決定其謂語動詞的單復(fù)數(shù)形式。如果是復(fù)數(shù)名詞或代詞,謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù);如果是單數(shù)名詞(或不可數(shù)名詞)或代詞,謂語動詞用單數(shù)。
相關(guān)高中英語知識點:主謂一致
主謂一致的概念:
謂語的數(shù)必須和主語的人稱和數(shù)保持一致,這就叫主謂一致。
主謂一致的基本原則:
1)語法一致原則,即在語法形式上取得一致。例如,主語是單數(shù)形式,謂語動詞也采取單數(shù)形式;主語是復(fù)數(shù)形式,謂語動詞也采取復(fù)數(shù)形式。
例如:The students are very young.
This picture looks beautiful.
2)意義一致原則,即從意義著眼處理一致關(guān)系。例如,主語形式雖是單數(shù)但意義是復(fù)數(shù),謂語動詞也采取復(fù)數(shù)形式;
而有些主語形式雖是復(fù)數(shù)但意義上看作單數(shù),謂語動詞也采取單數(shù)形式。
例如:The people in that country are fighting for independence.
The crowd deeply respect their leader.
Three years in a strange land seems a long time.
3)就近原則,即謂語動詞的單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)形式取決于最靠近它的詞語。
例如:Neither hen or I am going to see the film tonight because we are busy.
幾對容易混淆詞組的一致用法:
1、由“this/thatkind/typeof+名詞”作主語,謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式;而由"these/thosekind/typeof+復(fù)數(shù)名詞”作主語,謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
例如:This kind of apples is highly priced.
Those kind(s) of tests are good.
2、由“a number of,a totalo f,an average of+復(fù)數(shù)名詞”作主語,謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式;由“the number of,the total of,the average of+復(fù)數(shù)名詞”作主語,謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。
例如:A number of students are waiting for the bus.
The number of the students in this university is increasing yearly.
3、one of,the(only) one of的一致用法
例如:This is one of the books that have been recommended.
This is the(only) one of the books that has been recommended.
主謂一致用法點撥:
1、并列結(jié)構(gòu)作主語謂語用復(fù)數(shù):
如:Reading and writing are very important.
注意:當(dāng)主語由and連結(jié)時,如果它表示一個單一的概念,即指同一人或同一物時,謂語動詞用單數(shù),and此時連接的兩個詞前只有一個冠詞。
如:The iron and steel industry is very important to our life.
典型例題:
The League secretary and monitor___asked to make a speech at the meeting.
A. is
B. was
C. are
D. were
答案:B.
注:先從時態(tài)上考慮。這是過去發(fā)生的事情應(yīng)用過去時,先排除A、C本題易誤選D,因為The League secretary and monitor 好象是兩個人,但仔細辨別,monitor前沒有the,在英語中,當(dāng)一人兼數(shù)職時只在第一個職務(wù)前加定冠詞。后面的職務(wù)用and相連。這樣本題主語為一個人,所以應(yīng)選B。
2、主謂一致中的靠近原則:
1)當(dāng)there be句型的主語是一系列事物時,謂語應(yīng)與最鄰近的主語保持一致。
例如:There is a pen, a knife and several books on the desk.
There are twenty boy-students and twenty-three girl-students in the class.
2)當(dāng)either…or…與neither…nor,連接兩個主語時,謂語動詞與最鄰近的主語保持一致。
如果句子是由here, there引導(dǎo),而主語又不止一個時,謂語通常也和最鄰近的主語一致。
例如:Either you or she is to go.
Here is a pen, a few envelops and some paper for you.
3、謂語動詞與前面的主語一致:
當(dāng)主語后面跟有with, together with, like, except, but, no less than, as well as等詞引起的短語時,謂語動詞與前面的主語一致。
例如:The teacher together with some students is visiting the factory.
He as well as I wants to go boating.
4、謂語需用單數(shù):
1)代詞each和由every, some, no, any等構(gòu)成的復(fù)合代詞作主語,或主語中含有each,every,謂語需用單數(shù)。
例如:Each of us has a tape-recorder.
2)當(dāng)主語是一本書或一條格言時,謂語動詞常用單數(shù)。
例如:The Arabian Night is a book known to lovers of English.
3)表示金錢,時間,價格或度量衡的復(fù)合名詞作主語時,通常把這些名詞看作一個整體,謂語一般用單數(shù)。(用復(fù)數(shù)也可,意思不變。)
例如:Three weeks was allowed for making the necessary preparations.
Ten yuan is enough.
5、指代意義決定謂語的單復(fù)數(shù):
1)在代詞what, which, who, none, some, any, more, most, all等詞的單復(fù)數(shù)由其指代的詞的單復(fù)數(shù)決定。
例如:All is right. (一切順利。)
All are present. (所有人都到齊了。)
2)集體名詞作主語時,謂語的數(shù)要根據(jù)主語的意思來決定。
例如:family, audience, crew, crowd, class, company, committee等詞后用復(fù)數(shù)形式時,意為這個集體中的各個成員,用單數(shù)時表示該個集體。
例如:His family isn't very large. 他家不是一個大家庭。
His family are music lovers. 他的家人都是音樂愛好者。
但集合名詞people, police, cattle, poultry等在任何情況下都用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
例如:Are there any police around?
3)有些名詞,如variety, number, population, proportion, majority等有時看作單數(shù),有時看作復(fù)數(shù)。
A number of+名詞復(fù)數(shù)+復(fù)數(shù)動詞。 The number of+名詞復(fù)數(shù)+單數(shù)動詞。
例如:A number of books have lent out.
The majority of the students like English.
6、與后接名詞或代詞保持一致:
1)用half of, part of, most of, a portion of等詞引起主語時,動詞通常與of后面的名詞,代詞保持一致。
例如:Most of his money is spent on books.
Most of the students are taking an active part in sports.
2)在一些短語,如many a或more than one所修飾的詞作主語時,謂語動詞多用單數(shù)形式。
但由more than…of作主語時,動詞應(yīng)與其后的名詞或代詞保持一致。
例如:Many a person has read the novel. 許多人都讀過這本書。
More than 60percent of the students are from the city. 百分之六十多的學(xué)生都來自這個城市
主謂一致知識體系:
主謂一致用法拓展:
1)當(dāng)everyone,everybody,noone,nobody,anyone,anybody,someone,somebody,everything,anything,something,nothing等用作主語時,其相應(yīng)的代詞一般用單數(shù)形式。
例如:If anybody calls, tell him that I'm out.
Something strange happened, didn't it?
2)人稱代詞與名詞的呼應(yīng):人稱代詞I(me),he(him),she(her),it(it) 都是代替前面的單數(shù)名詞,而they(them),we(us)則是代替復(fù)數(shù)名詞的,you既可以代表單數(shù),也可以代表復(fù)數(shù)。但表示泛指的時候,用he或one來表示。
例如:If a young person enters a classical music field only for money, he is in the wrong profession.
3)物主代詞與名詞的呼應(yīng):my,our,his,her,its,their要與代替的名詞在數(shù)上一致。
例如:The welfare department,as well as the other social services,will have its budget cut.
4)反身代詞與其所代成分間的呼應(yīng)。
例如:Many primitive people believed that by eating ananimal they could get some of the good qualities of that animal for themselves.
5)指示代詞與所代名詞間的呼應(yīng):this和that指代單數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞,these和those指代復(fù)數(shù)名詞(those還可以用作先行詞,引導(dǎo)定語從句,表示“那些人”)。
例如:She invited all those who had been her former colleagues.
6)much和muchof后接不可數(shù)名詞,而many和manyof后接可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)。
例如:There is not much coal left.
A great many of the houses were knocked down by the earthquake.
7)表示量的詞后面有的接可數(shù)名詞,有的接不可數(shù)名詞。
接可數(shù)名詞的有:a number of,a rangeof,a series of十復(fù)數(shù)名詞;
接不可數(shù)名詞的有:a great deal of,an amount of十不可數(shù)名詞;
既可接可數(shù)又可接不可數(shù)名詞的有:a lot of,a variety of。
例如:1.The government attached a great deal of importance to education.
2.Quiteanumberofwomenappliedforthisjob.
3.The college library has avariety of books.
4.An apple is avariety off ruit.
