中英之鑒 中式英語(yǔ)之鑒302

[誤] There was a large number of audience at the meeting.

[正] There was a large audience at the meeting.

注：audience 是集合名詞，為“觀眾”的總稱(chēng)。所以“觀眾多”應(yīng)說(shuō) a large audience，“觀眾少”則應(yīng)說(shuō) a small audience。

參考例句：We know the audience likes it.but what about you? 我們都知道觀眾們很喜歡你呢?
