不能连词数字的几种常见情况 ■far 用作形容词,表示“遥远的”,通常不与具体数字连用。如: 车站离我家5英里。http://yingyu.chazidian.com 误:The station is five miles far (away) from my home. 正:The station is five miles distant from my home. 正:The station is five miles away from my home. 析:far 通常不可以与数字连用,此时需用 distant。 ■both 一般不与数词 two 连用,以免语义重复。如: 这两个男孩子都很聪明。 误:Both the two boys are clever. 正:Both the boys are clever. 正:The two boys are clever. ■clothes(衣服)虽然是一个没有单数形式的复数名词,但它却 不能与直接与数词连用。 她为我买了两套衣服。 误:She bought me two clothes. 正:She bought me two suits of clothes. ■goods(货物)是一个没有单数形式的复数名词,但是却不能直接用数词修饰,要表示“货物”的件数,通常借助 piece。如: 他发现有两件货被偷了。 误:He found two goods had been stolen. 正:He found two pieces of goods had been stolen. ■troops 侧重指构成军队的士兵成员,但并不指个别士兵,因此它一般不与数字(尤其是较小的数字)连用。比如:“两个士兵”一般不说 two troops, 可说 two soldiers。不过 troops 有时可与较大的数词连用。如可说(from http://yingyu.chazidian.com): a hundred troops 一百个士兵 Forty-four troops were killed. 44名士兵阵亡。
