中式英语口语错误讲解

139.四分之三

[误] Three-fourths of the apples was ruined.

[正] Three-fourths of the apples were ruined.

翻译苹果坏了四分之三。

讲解:英语以分数为主语时,由其后接的名词决定动词的单复数,例句中的 apples 为复数,故动词应改为复数的 were。但 Three-fourths of the crop was ruined.(四分之三的收成都毁了。)

更多口语例句:
More than three-fourths of senior citizens are having sex, contrary to what they probably expected would be the case when they were younger.
超过四分之三的老年人存在性生活,这应该是设想中的更年轻时的数据,但事实的确如此。
