•量词:
通常用来表示人、事物或动作的数量单位的词,叫做量词。
例如:a bag of (rice), a piece of (news), a cup of (tea)
•量词特点:
在英语中,有很多量词词组,例如:a group of,a flock of,a bunch of,a bundle of等等.
量词词组粗略地归纳了以下的特点,具体表现为:
特点一:
英语量词词组所表示的数或量,大致可归纳为四种类型,即定量、不定量、大量和少量。
1.表示定量的量词词组,譬如:
a couple of(两个、一对)
a couple of days,
a couple of players,
a couple of times;
a cupful of(一满杯)
a cupful of jelly,
a cupful of water;
a portion of(一份/客)
a portion of duck,
a portion of roast beef。
2.表示不定量的量词词组,譬如:
a majority of(大多数/大半)
a majority of opinions,
a majority of votes;
an atom of(一点)
an atom of food,
an atom of truth;
a spell of(一阵/一段时间)
a spell of fine weather,
a spell of coughing。
3.表示大量的量词词组,譬如:
a flood of—a flood of ink(洋洋大篇),
a flood of tears(泪如泉涌);
a heap of—a heap of earth(一堆泥土),

a particle of—a particle of feeling(一丝感情),
a particle of dust(一点灰尘);
a shadow of—a shadow of doubt(一点怀疑),

特点二:
有些数量词组修饰可数名词,有些数量词组修饰不可数名词,还有些则两者均可修饰。1.修饰不可数名词的量词词组,譬如:
a bit of—a bit of English(一点英语),
a bit of good advice(一些好意见),
a bit of interest(一点兴趣);
a shred of—a shred of evidence(一点证据),

2.修饰可数名词的量词词组,譬如:
a cluster of—a cluster of flowers(一簇花),
a cluster of spectators(一群观众),
a cluster of bright stars(闪烁群星);
a string of—a string of pearls(一串珠子),
a string of curses(连续不断的咒骂),
a string of excuses(一连串借口);
a scram of—a scram of mosquitoes(一群蚊子),
a scram of geese(一群鹅),
a scram of children(一群孩子)。
3.修饰(不)可数名词的量词词组,譬如:

a chain of accidents(一连串事故),
a chain of proof(一连串证据)。
特点三:
有些数量词组的搭配是固定的,而有些搭配则比较灵活。1.搭配固定的量词词组,譬如:
a barrel of—a barrel of beer(一桶啤酒),
a barrel of crude oil(一桶原油);
a basket of—a basket of eggs(一篮鸡蛋),
a basket of apples(一篮苹果);
a line of—a line of trees(一行树),
