▲关于这个问题,我与前面两位老师的观点稍有不同:“a pile of+复数名词”作主语时,谓语动词可以用单数(视为整体),也可以用复数(考虑其个体),但以用单数为普通。如: ——用单数的例子: There was a pile of books on the table. 桌上有一堆书。 On the table was a pile of books and a scatter of papers. 桌子上放着一摞书和零落的几份报纸。 ——用复数的例子: A pile of presents were heaped under the Christmas tree. 圣诞树下有一大堆礼物。(摘自Easier English Student Dictionary) ▲当然,如果 a pile of 后接不可数名词,它作主语时,谓语动词只能用单数。如: There was a pile of clean laundry on her bed. 她床上有一堆刚洗好的衣物。 A pile of ironing is hardly inspiring. 一堆需要熨烫的衣服无法让人提起兴致。 Heaped up in one corner was a pile of junk. 堆在一角的是一堆废物。 |
