大家好,想請問一下 英語雜誌的單元是介紹加油站,裡頭有這麼一段話: So today is all about gas stations. Well, it might seem like a normal place, but a lot happens at the gas station. Exactly. If you have a car, then a gas station is really important for you. ---- 不懂a lot happens的意思。是指這裡的lot是當名詞,而且可數,所以會有a lot? 而且我想說a lot這詞組合起來,不是指「很多東西」的意思嗎, 還是說要分開看,是a+lot,後面的happens才加s? 請教一下,謝謝。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.25.220.62 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Eng-Class/M.1466440198.A.352.html ※ 編輯: scju (114.25.220.62), 06/21/2016 00:34:13

lot是名詞 且單數,前面a是冠詞

這邊的a lot很明顯是主詞沒錯,但我會直

接聯想到像many, much等代名詞。如果單就

06/21 13:44, , 8F
動詞是happens看來,這邊的a lot應該是像
06/21 13:44, 8F

06/21 13:44, , 9F
等於much。不過問題就來了,如果說是a+lo

t的形式,那這邊的lot的中文是…?如果說

06/21 13:44, , 13F
超怪的,第三人稱複數不是該用they嗎?)
06/21 13:44, 13F

it 沒有代stations,中間是period 上下句已有各自的標
06/21 14:35, 14F

06/21 14:35, , 15F
的,第一句是introduction該文的引言,it 就只是表示單

一標的。因為我們常看到a lot of的用法所以忘了lot 是
06/21 14:35, 16F

06/21 14:35, , 17F
單數詞,這邊單純只是一般的不定冠詞+名詞的用法
