　　6. a great/good many后面的谓语要用复数

　　mang a后面的谓语要用单数

　　A great many scientists have sacrificed their lives for science.

　　Many a scientist has sacrificed his life for science.

　　虽然上述用法看起来比较变态,主要是收到前面冠词a和many的影响,如果实在不能理解,可以这样记many后面都加复数,随后的谓语跟many后面的复指,a后面加

　　单数,谓语用单数第三人称,所以这两个短语的谓语都采用就近原则.

　　同时,平时我们很少看到这类用法,所以完全可以用many,lots of就好啦嘛,又方便还不会错.

　　7. no more than 有两个意思,平时看到最多的应该是仅仅,只不过比如

　　His whole school education added up to no more than one year.

　　He is no more than a puppet.

　　但是如果no more than拆开用,变成no morethan意思就不大一样了,相当于 neithernor的意思

　　Jack is no more diligent than John.杰克和约翰谁都不勤奋.

　　not more than如果连用也是表示至多,不超过的意思

　　Not more than 1,000 people attended the lecture.

　　但是要是拆开用变成not morethan的形式,就表示不如,前者不如后者的意思

　　比如例句:

　　It is not more a river than a stream.

　　如果直译应该是---把它当作河 把它当作小溪----它还不如比作小溪恰当呢!
