关于dozen的复数是否加词尾-s的问题比较复杂,大致原则是:1.当它与具体数字连用时,既不加复数词尾-s,也不后接介词of.2.当它不与具体数字连用,而是表示不确定的泛指数时,则不仅要加复数词尾-s,而且要后接介词 of,此时可将dozens of(许多,几十)视为习语.如:I’ve been there dozens of times.我去过那儿几十次.She’s got dozens of boy-friends.她的男朋友很多.下面一例中的dozens加了复数词尾-s也属为似情况:Pack them in dozens.按打装袋吧.3.当与 a few,several 等数目不很具体的e="FONT-SIZE:10.5pt; FONT-词连用时,加不加复数词尾-s均可,但需注意:不加复数词尾-s时,其后的介词of可以省略;加词尾-s时,其后介词 of不能省略.如:several dozen (of) pencils=several dozens of pencilsAMILY:'Times New Roman'">several dozen (of) pencils=several dozen几打铅笔注:英语较少使用many dozen的说法,要表示类似意思可用dozens of.4.当它后面的名词受 the,these,those 等特指限定词修饰时,或其后的接的是us,them这样的人称代词时,则此时必须用介词 of.如:two dozen of these eggs 两打这种鸡蛋three dozen of them 它们中的3打注:score,hundred,thousand,million等也具有以上类似用法.
