重点讲解
一.deal:n.协定, 交易, 大量 v.应付, 分配, 处理, 交易, 经营 v.发牌 n.杉树,松树
【语法用法】
a great deal与a good deal一个是表示很多,一个表示相当多,前者比后者语气更重一点;
a great deal与a good deal都只能用来修饰不可数名词,不用来修饰可数名词。例:a great (good) deal of money,a great (good) deal of trouble。a great deal of laughter and kisses的表达方式也可以,因这里的kisses跟laughter用在一起,并不是数量的意思;
a great (good) deal可以用作状语短语。
I am a great (good) deal better today.
我今天好很多。
a deal在口语里可以解释为a great deal。
【错句举例与错句分析】
错句: This shop deal with woollen goods.
订正: This shop deal in woollen goods.
翻译: 这家商店经营羊毛类的商品。
分析: 混淆了deal in 与deal with的用法,deal in表示“经营”,或者“买卖”,后接商品,deal with表示“和……打交道,做生意”,“处理”,“对付”的意思。
