标题 | 2013高考英语备考:集合名词audience的用法要点 | |||||||||||||||
内容 |
1. 表示“听众”、“观众”,是集合名词,用作主语时,其谓语可用单数(视为整体时)或复数(视为个体时)。如: The audience is [are]listening attentively. 听众都在聚精会神地听着。 The audience was [were] enjoying every minute of the performance. 观众对演出非常欣赏。 有时由于语义的需要,分别用单数或复数更合适。如: The audience was enormous. 观众人很多。 The audience are requested to be in their seats by 8:00. 观众要在八点前都入座。 2. 形容听(观)众人数之多或少,通常用 large, small, crowded, thin等形容词(但是不能用 many)修饰audience。如: There was a large audience of young people at the pop concert. 流行音乐演奏会上有大量青年听众。 Her lecture had a crowded audience. 她的演讲挤满了听众。 The speaker had a small (thin) but attentive audience. 这位演讲者的听众不多(很少),但很专心。 要在那么多观众面前唱歌她感到很紧张。 正:She felt nervous at having to sing before so large an audience [such a large audience]. 误:She felt nervous at having to sing before so many audience. 3. audience 虽为集合名词,但有时可用复数形式。如: The audiences were enormous. 听众特别多。 He addressed audiences all over the country. 他向全国各地的听众作地演讲。 4. audience 有时可表示“读者”。如: That book has a large audience. 那本书有广大的读者。 文章相关链接:www.liuxue86.com/k_2013高考英语备考/ ?
